Controversial Scottish gender reforms to become law
www.bbc.co.uk
Scotland is the first part of the UK to approve a self-identification system for people who want to change gender.

The new rules will lower the minimum age that people can apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) from 18 to 16.

They will also remove the requirement for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

And anyone applying for a GRC will now only need to have lived in their acquired gender for three months - or six months if they are aged 16 and 17 - rather than two years.

For context, a Gender Recognition Certificate allows you to do the following:

  • Update your birth or adoption certificate, if it was registered in the UK
  • Get married or form a civil partnership in your affirmed gender
  • Update your marriage or civil partnership certificate, if it was registered in the UK
  • Have your affirmed gender on your death certificate when you die

      If I'm reading this correctly, the UK might block this on the grounds that it violates equal rights for women, which is just exceptionally cursed.
