Neither does anyone else so it's reasonable to ask that question if they continue to refuse to answer it, they surely either believe Bryson is a woman or a man. Imagine not being able to answer a fundamental question such as that.

But why do you think Keith Brown does not need this extra information and can gender Bryson as 'she' and be clear he thinks she is a woman? You must agree that at the very least there is a lack of consistency when one Government Minister can answer but another one can't when both are asked the same question.

But I go back to your point about needing extra information, how do you think that would be gathered under a process of self ID? I don't see how it can but maybe I am missing something.
Why is your opinion different to mine James? People are allowed to have different opinions, even government ministers. That said, Gilruth and Sturgeon haven't really expressed an opinion by not "gendering" Bryson, maybe they are still waiting to form an opinion based on expert evaluation, what in my book seems a sensible thing to do and what will probably always happen in extreme circumstances like the Bryson case. You do accept that the Bryson case is an extreme example or do you believe that all transsexuals need to be put under the microscope?
