Scotland appears likely to pass controversial gender reforms which would make it easier for transgender people to change their recorded gender.
The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill will remove the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria in order to receive a gender recognition certificate (GRC).
It would also lower the minimum age for applicants to 16 and reduce the time required for an applicant to live in their acquired gender from two years to three months (or six for people aged 16 and 17) - though there will be a three-month reflection period.
MSPs will consider the last of the 153 amendments lodged at stage three of the bill after a marathon session of parliament yesterday, before a final vote this afternoon.
How long before Drakeford and the Senedd folow suit ?
It might not bother you or your wife, but it would me, and I know my wife wouldn't like it either, plus a lot of other people feel the same, that's without all the other dilemma's this legislation will bring, if passed.
With regard at expecting to know which posters will respond to certain topics, that is very true, you do exactly the same, only when you do it it's an opinion, when someone else responds to something you disagree with it's "spouting their angst"
BTW, I do know that other countries have unisex toilets, you do know that the discussion is about legislation in Scotland don't you ?
Have to agree with you there, there is no way i would be comfortable with my partner or daughter having to share a restroom with a bloke. My opinion on it is pretty simple, people can call themselves whatever they want if it makes them happy. But at the end of the day biology is not something that is up for debate.
If providing an extra non gender specific restroom to accomodate these people is required or specific segragated prison facilities etc then crack on with that. A woman identifying as a man going into a mans prison would be putting themselves in danger.
Fire boy fails to understand he does not speak for millions ,who are reviled by this made worse when they get peters for thinking as people did in an area when we werent so pitifully weak.
To think unlike that which now prevails is not vile
I do know it's about Scotland but my point was about you going about toilets, would you be offended if you were in the USA and you had to use a unisex toilet?
You are correct flash, I do post my opinion on topics that interest me and I wouldn't normally post on this topic but i saw the usual dark aged stick in the mud types venting their spleen I felt that I had to post my opinion.
I'm not a young, leftie, hippy type, I'm a down the middle normal middle aged hard working bloke who takes people as they find them, no matter who they are or who they want to be, as long as they treat me well I will reciprocate.

Surely if the toilets are unisex there won't be urinals, can you imagine the queue for the cubicle, without the thought of some guy with a bad aim p*ssing all over the toilet seat.
Or would it be urinals for men, and the cubicles for women and guys that want to take a dump.
You've drawn your line, other people draw it in different places. My wife would like to have safe women's places for genetic/biological women, that is how she'd like to live. I understand her point of view and I understand yours. Public figures who feel the same way as my wife get called all-sorts and in extreme cases get sent death threats. That's the same intolerant behaviour that the extreme progressives claim to abhor, the hypocrisy is obvious. It's where the argument gets lost.
As it should be , I imagine there are boundaries of common decency by all concerned ,the problems arise in society when those boundaries are ignored by those with ulterior motives and imo those who approve of kids being taken to drags shows need to review their thinking and standards of morality

People charged with a sexual offence can apply! What is going on?
Meanwhile, a push by another SNP MSP to ensure applications are paused if an applicant is charged with a sexual offence until their case is disposed of divided members by 61 votes to 61 — as is customary deputy presiding officer Liam McArthur used his casting vote against the change.
I’d describe myself as a bit of a leftie but I’m against a lot of the gender reassignment gubbins.
However, what an awful piece of television. Linking transgender people to sex offenders is disgusting.
There was a couple of really good threads on here about our free press and confirmation bias (which ironically someone called brainwashing when it’s the polar opposite), an then we have GB news or Geebeebies.
I don’t like the Mail or the Express but I’ve no issue at all with them existing- in fact they have done some really good things.
Geebeebies can get in the sea. Poison.
