A barely literate civil servant who does not realize that 'medium' is basically equivalent to wordpress. As long as it suits their agenda they don't care. I also live in Scotland and am also not surprised in the slightest. The Scottish government is an unmitigated disaster.

Shame on you Nicola Sturgeon. This will be the worst thing you will ever do, if your proposal goes through.

- Allowing 16 year olds to legally change genders ENCOURAGES the unnecessary medicalisation of children.

- Letting any man be seen as a woman in law after 3 months of performing a sexist stereotype ENDANGERS women.

How dare you.

Women who say "they wouldn't really mind" [sharing an intimate space with a man]. If you really don't get what the problem is, do OTHER WOMEN a favour and SAY--NO--ANYWAY!

No to self ID.

You can't use Medium as a reliable source on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, but for Scottish government policy matters, okey dokey.

Can someone please explain to a US citizen why Nicola Sturgeon is so hell-bent on passing through self-ID. Who is pulling her strings? Does anybody know?

Death threats and intimidation is unacceptable, but is there not a point to be made about the unnecessary medicalisation of children?

Am I susprised? Sadly not. Many women know the feeling of preparing a report or presentation for work, having all your evidence and checking it twice only to be quizzed on it all as if you cannot be right and then have some guy speak up, no evidence, no prep and either scupper it all or take the credit. What is happening in Scotland are the actions of people that have already made up their mind and are going through the motions so it has the appearance of due diligence. It's completely reprehensible. Wikipedia applies more due diligence to it's sources.
