Members of the trans community, their allies and MSPs have staged a protest against the UK Government’s decision to block Scottish gender recognition reforms.
The campaigners gathered outside the Scotland Office in Queen Elizabeth House in Edinburgh on Thursday, armed with placards reading “Trans rights are human rights”, and “Hit the road Jack” – a reference to Scottish Secretary Alister Jack who, two days ago, triggered a constitutional clash with Nicola Sturgeon by invoking powers to block Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
