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
