IMO GRR an issue that covers a very small, under-represented group of people here and one of these ones that is never gonna be popular - much like the issue of same-sex marriage that was passed all these years ago and generally forgotten. This issue had been raised in parliament six years ago. Debate and consultation/committee investigation followed in the Scot Parliament. Finally voted for at Holyrood and a cross-party vote it was too. I personally think we have far more important issues to deal with in Scotland. However, it is a decision that required a conclusion after all this time. As for the interference by the Tory-Brexit Viceroy of Scotland? He can GTF!! This is just more interference and undermining of our Scottish Parliament and "stoking up" a culture war!! It's a follow on to their similar shit behaviour in their Brexit campaign and pandering to their Tory heartland support much like their toxic anti-immigrant rhetoric and other toxic RW bullying policies that never actually redress the probs.

I must add that it transpires in a recent study that the UK (particularly England) is deemed the most transphobic country in Europe, even beyond the realms of Russia! IMO this is truly down to the poisonous media/press activity that has clearly been active for a while - such horrible RW press and media in this country that has regularly been debated on this Sb board and I reckon the killing of that poor wee girl, 16 year old Brianna, in Warrington, is down to the toxic narrative between said shit media and politicians who are definitely playing out a cultural war and have no interest in the rights of these people whatsoever - a shocker and a disgrace, unacceptable in any civilised society!!
