Nicola Sturgeon’s government rejected pleas to make concessions to critics of its controversial transgender reforms
Teenagers as young as 15 will be able to begin the process of legally changing their sex after MSPs blocked a last-ditch bid to exclude children from Nicola Sturgeon’s transgender reforms.
The SNP government on Tuesday rejected pleas to make meaningful concessions to critics of its controversial proposals, as a minister confirmed that Scots would become eligible to apply to change their legal sex on the day of their 16th birthday.
Shona Robison, a close ally of Ms Sturgeon who is steering the bill through Holyrood, confirmed time spent living in an “acquired gender” as a 15-year-old would count towards a six-month minimum time period required by the legislation.
A bid by Jackie Baillie, the Scottish Labour deputy leader, to close the loophole was opposed by the Scottish government. An attempt to keep the legal age limit at 18 was also defeated, by 87 votes to 37.
Safeguards designed to make it harder for sex offenders to fraudulently apply to change their legal gender were also voted down on Tuesday, to the dismay of feminist critics.
The proposals had been designed to address concerns the legislation will be exploited by male predators to gain access to women's spaces.

The Scottish Nazis are on the march!
No true Scotsman?
Why would Putin/Russia do that?
Oh, it’s our Satanic ally. Never mind.
Well now they can wear a kilt with “pride”
There’s no freedom in Scotland until I may bugger a sheep without reprisal!
This isn’t the “Freeeeeeeeedom” William Wallace had in mind.
Pagan Britain had more morals than what’s there now.
Islam is laughing at formerly white Christian nation suicide. While Western nations are destroying themselves Muslims are breeding their new caliphate.
At least the Picts would slit your throat and throw you in a bog. A lot quicker death than sexual mutilation and a lonely life as a freak.
The Scots have taken Wokeism to a new level. They have not just gone over the deep end. They have taken a backhoe with them and are digging the deep end deeper.
Especially Germany.
The world is going insane.
“Islam is laughing at formerly white Christian nation suicide. While Western nations are destroying themselves Muslims are breeding their new caliphate.”
It’s inevitable that sooner or later, the Chinese, the Muslims or the Russians will just walk in and take over these insane asylums (including ours), and, bad as they may be, it’ll be an improvement... they at least are still somewhat sane and grounded in reality.
Our world has gone crazy. Come Lord Jesus Christ.
Scotland is run by women and eunuchs. (We’re not far behind).
More evidence that giving women the right to vote was not such a good idea. Ironically, that may end being the worst thing for women themselves.
Madness.
Agreed. A madness sweeping through all humanity.
