SCOTTISH Conservative leader Douglas Ross has backed JK Rowling in a row over trans rights.
Rowling, who has been outspoken with her opinion on gender in recent years, outlined her views on the principles behind the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill in an article for the Sunday Times this weekend. It comes ahead of the first Scottish Parliament debate on the bill.
The Gender Recognition Reform Bill aims to make the process of applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) simpler in Scotland. It would reduce the time people seeking to change their gender need to live in their acquired gender before applying from two years to three months.
