TENSIONS were high outside Holyrood as what is scheduled to be the final debate on gender recognition reform in Scotland got underway for a second day.
Hundreds of activists who oppose the bill on grounds that it will be abused by predatory men and therefore endangers women and girls chanted “shame” and “Sturgeon out” at a rally organised by For Women Scotland.
SNP MP Joanna Cherry, who has been a prominent critic of the bill, spoke alongside Scottish Conservative MSP Pam Gosal, Alba MP Neale Hanvey, and former leader of Scottish Labour Johann Lamont.
