A SCOTTISH Greens MSP has raised concerns that the growing "toxic" row over the UK Government blocking Scotland’s gender reforms will be “hell” for transgender Scots.
On Monday night, Scottish Secretary Alister Jack announced that the Westminster Tories would deploy a never before used section 35 order to stop the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill from being given Royal Assent.
The move caused fury amongst those who saw it as an attack on Scottish devolution. on Tuesday Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison, who sponsored the bill as it moved through Parliament, told MSPs the UK Government intervened simply because they “don’t like” the legislation.
