This bill does not allow a man to simply state that he feels like a woman today, just so he can legally access female spaces in order to commit illegal acts (which would be a pointless course of action anyway). If you had taken the time to actually read the bill, you would have been fully aware of this.

Once again, it's hyperbole that has been stirred up by an anti-progressive Conservative press that is completely baseless and out of touch with the reality of the situation.
I have read the bill. More than once. And (to state the obvious) it says nothing about enabling a man to do such a thing. It does however remove any meaningful checks and balances when it comes to a male 'becoming' a woman. Coupled with the associated Court of Session ruling which effectively removes biology from the equation, its impact on what it actually means to be a woman - as well as the potential safety concerns it raises - are obvious. I respect your views on this as they are clearly heartfelt and you appear to be one of the few posters who is basing their arguments on sound knowledge of the bill's contents but I cannot agree it changes nothing.
