You can change your identification documents so easily in Scotland that just because you think you see a man in front of you and the ID says "M", it doesn't mean the person is really a man.

No, you can’t, you need a medical diagnosis and several years of social transition. The Scottish government tried to change the law to liberalise the rules including “self ID” and that got heavily stomped on by Westminster who refused it Royal Assent, and now the Scottish government is planning on bringing a legal challenge to the veto but they’ll almost certainly lose because the Scotland Act specifically allows Westminster to veto any law that would have effects outside Scotland and this would trample on the equality legislation across the UK.

Guess I had it confused with England.

Still, the fact that trannies there are more likely to pass well supports my point.

Still wrong. The rules in England and Scotland are currently the same.

Westminster has dropped Self-ID and it’s unlikely to be brought up by the next government after what happened in Scotland with the trans rapist saga that had a hand in bringing down the First Minister.

Westminster = UK government

Scotland, Wales and Sometimes Northern Ireland have their own parliaments that are restricted to issues that only affect those countries. England didn’t get its own parliament so has to rely on Westminster doing it, even though it’s not really fair that MPs from Scotland etc get votes on English matters.

Damn getting schooled today. I still stand by my point that trannies make these questions important.
