NICOLA Sturgeon warned the Scottish Tories not to conflate the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill with the debate over Isla Bryson as the First Minister faced further questions over the trans prisoner’s gender.
After the First Minister set out that Bryson – previously known as Adam Graham – would not be housed in the all-female Cornton Vale prison last week, Douglas Ross continued to press her on whether she considered Bryson to be a woman.
Bryson was convicted of two rapes between 2016 and 2019 at Glasgow’s High Court last month. The crimes were committed while Bryson was a man.
