TRANSGENDER Scots will have to apply for a separate Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) for their acquired gender to be recognised across the rest of the UK under changes to be made by ministers.
Rishi Sunak and his government have already said they will be looking closely at the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill passed overwhelmingly by MSPs before Christmas and could block it from being given Royal Assent rather than referring the matter to the Supreme Court.
But it has now emerged the Westminster government may simply remove Scotland from a list of countries whose GRCs meet sufficient checks and balances for people who want to change their legal gender, according to the Times.
