THE UK Government has published the reasons why ministers believe gender reform legislation passed by Holyrood will have an “adverse effect” on UK law.
It has published a Statement of Reasons outlining why it is preventing the Scottish Parliament’s Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill from proceeding to Royal Assent.
The document says it is “highly problematic both in principle and practically” for a citizen of the UK to have a different gender and legal sex depending upon where they happen to be within the UK, and which system of law applies to them.
