Gender recognition.

The gender debate is clearly a very emotive one (nowhere more so than this messageboard sometimes) and I really hope this is the correct path to take for the individuals concerned rather than a political point scoring exercise by the Scottish government over the rest of the UK.

Very well said👍
 
It really isn’t a debate.
99.999999% are either male or female.
It’s one of life’s certainties. A matter of physical and genetical fact.

If someone however wants to identify as something else, that’s up to them.
Does it need a law? Not imo.

Sex chromosomal abnormalities are about 2500 times more prevalent than your figures. It’s generally about 1 in 400, or 99.9975. Just to keep it factual. Which such a topic deserves.

Most of the clubs I went into, whilst living in Germany years ago, were unisex loos. Nobody had issues about it.

On a selfish note. Women take ages messing about in the cubicle so it’ll lead to longer queues for the khasi.

On the plus side, more locations for those requiring a ‘pick me up’ 😁
 
Yes, emotive and I get that women won’t be keen on 'men' being in their toilets, but taking their point on board are they going to be happy that people born female but taking every step possible to appear male would therefore use their bogs?

The thing that worries me about it is a man can live as a woman for three months and then apply for the gender certificate without any medical evidence. Thereafter using women's services etc

How does that protect a woman?

Further to my post, I have been thinking a little more about it.

One of my clients when I was a H&S Consultant was a women's refuge, There were checks carried out to make sure I didn't have a record of any sort, and during the visit I was escorted at all times by the refuge manager, who entered all rooms before me to warn them that I was a male, but safe.

All of the women had been abused by their partners, and some, even after the introduction and escort, were extremely wary of me. It was pitiful to hear some of their comments.

How would one of these women react, if confronted by a self diagnosed person who was now officialy a woman and not a man?
