SOCIAL Justice Secretary Shona Robison has told UK equalities minister Kemi Badenoch that gender recognition is a devolved matter at a virtual meeting held as Holyrood prepares to debate the legislation.
The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Act has been described as an "admin issue" by many transgender people who say the current process is lengthy, demeaning, and can be expensive.
The reforms would remove the medical requirement and panel process and instead allow trans people to self-identify.
