THE UK Government will hit a “disgraceful new low” if it insists on transgender Scots applying for a separate Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) south of the Border, a Green MSP has said.
Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has said a list of countries that are deemed by the UK to have sufficient checks and balances on people looking to legally change gender is to be reviewed and updated.
As part of this process, it’s possible Scotland could be removed from the list which would mean transgender Scots would have to apply for a UK GRC for their acquired gender to be recognised.
