Scottish gender reform is ‘best practice’, European commissioner report concludes

SCOTLAND is following international best practice pursuing self-ID gender reforms which will lead to the “full realisation of trans people’s rights”, a report from a European Commissioner has said.

In the same document, UK ­Government officials and parliamentarians were criticised for actively contributing to “an intolerant and stigmatising discourse” around the LGBT community and trying to stoke a culture war against trans people for election purposes.
