The trans Bill in Scotland 14:26 - Dec 22 with 12514 viewsDJR

Even though the SNP are getting it in the neck from the right wing press, interesting to see that both Labour and the Lib Dems there are supporting the Bill.

This is what Nicola Sturgeon has (admirably) said today about the Bill.

"Removing the need for medical diagnosis for a trans person who wants to legally change their gender is actually one of the purposes of this legislation, because the need for that is one of the most intrusive, traumatic and dehumanising parts of the current system.

And as a woman, I know very much what it is like to live with the fear at times of potential violence from men. I’m a feminist. I will argue for women’s rights. I will do everything I can to protect women’s rights for as long as I was.

But I also think it’s an important part of my responsibility to make life a little bit easier for stigmatised minorities in our country, to make their lives a bit better, and to remove some of the trauma that they live with on a day to day basis.

And I think it is important to do that for the tiny minority of trans people in our society and I will never apologise for trying to spread equality, not reduce it in our country."

I wonder if Labour down here would be brave enough to bring forward such a Bill, as clearly the Tories (post-Cameron) have become increasingly intolerant when it comes to social issues.

Without wishing to stir up a hornet's nest, the following explanation of the Bill seems fine to me.

https://www.gov.scot/publications/gender-recognition-reform-scotland-bill-more-i

Given this, it seems absurd that the Tories appear to be contemplating preventing the Bill becoming law, according to the following from the Guardian. But it's all really part of the Tories' culture wars both in Scotland and the rest of the UK.

"Westminster may use rare power to block Scotland's gender recognition bill on women's safety grounds, UK minister says

Alister Jack, the Scottish secretary, has hinted that the UK government might block the gender recognition reform (Scotland) bill passed by MSPs this afternoon. In a statement responding to the vote, he said:

'We share the concerns that many people have regarding certain aspects of this bill, and in particular the safety issues for women and children.

We will look closely at that, and also the ramifications for the 2010 Equality Act and other UK wide legislation, in the coming weeks - up to and including a section 35 order stopping the bill going for royal assent if necessary'."

Obviously no. But that fact doesn't sit well with the feelings that Lucan and whatever that other blokes name on this thread is hold.

It's rather concerning how comfortable some posters are with expressing transphobic viewpoints on here though.

Don't be silly.

You're using lazy tropes. Who are the 'woke' we keep hearing about and what does it even mean?

I'm a middle-aged white bloke and I seem to get through most days without being accused of being racist or homophobic. It's easy to not be those things and I don't consider myself to be woke. I'm still not sure what that even is as I say.

Who's 'we' and what are 'we' a victim of exactly?

I always thought you above this nonsense.

You have daughters - so you want them treated with respect and rightly so.

So sexism should be something you've warned them about growing up. It's a normal thing to want to protect your kids from, being treated as inferior by morons. So what's your point? If your kids are black you don't want them being treated like trash because of their colour.

I can't comment on the trans stuff because I don't know much, but I don't have to in order to treat other people with a bit of respect.

None of this is new, let alone 'woke'.

Woke is a word people who are afraid of the world have come up with because they feel threatened. Imagine feeling that threatened by absolutely everything and everybody all the time.
