This is absolutely true
RT @libdemlife: I stopped Federal Board cutting budget for Lib Dem Campaign for Racial Equality & got the first ever grant for the Racial Diversity Campaign (which support ethnic minority candidates). For real action to work with ethnic minority communities vote Simon McGrath for Council & FCC

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton When you say science, I assume you mean psychology? Given this is about paperwork, it's only about being HR compliant and removing stress from trans people.

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton Deed poll changes, although recognised in Scotland, are not Scottish. Name changes here are by statutory declaration. Very simple

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton Honestly? There has been YEARS of work done on this.

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton Andrew, are you REALLY asking this now? Do you know how many consultations have been carried out on this? It's all on the Scotgov website. And it has NOTHING to do with medical transition.

@DuncanHenry78 @Shawjaws @StonewallOut Of course it's self ID. For admin reasons. Self ID for Equality Act reasons has existed since the EA was introduced

@DuncanHenry78 @Shawjaws @StonewallOut It gives trans women that access.

@JamesEsses The writ of the EHRC does not run in Scotland. The current legislation is not UNHRC compliant

@DuncanHenry78 @Shawjaws @StonewallOut Correct. This is an admin change only

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton •depends on a panel of strangers deciding a trans person’s identity for them
•doesn’t offer legal recognition to trans people under 18
•ignores non-binary people
•requires married trans people to get permission from their spouse
•leaves people in a legal grey area

@AndrewM12997326 @agcolehamilton The current process:
•does not comply with UNHRC guidance
• is overly complicated and bureaucratic
•requires a wait of at least 2 years
•requires medical reports and pathologises trans identities

@holyroodmandy I hold no brief for the politics of either, but do you really think that a Minister should communicate with the First Minister through the letters page of the Scotsman?

RT @PlaceSteph: As @KemiBadenoch is the new Women's & Equalities Minister, we thought we would give her a list of what women are ACTUALLY concerned about
(THREAD 1 of 9)

The living wage. The pay gap. Improving access to education for women and girls. The menopause. Migraine issues.
