NICOLA Sturgeon has said she has not heard a single “persuasive or compelling” argument that Scotland’s gender reform legislation would have an impact on the Equality Act.
The First Minister reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment to do “everything” to defend legislation designed to make it easier for people to change their legal gender.
The UK Government issued a Section 35 Order in a bid to veto the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill from becoming law, citing its potential impact on projections contained in UK-wide equalities law.
