@joshhelfgott: For the first time in history, the United Kingdom government used section 35 to BLOCK a bill from receiving royal assent. The Gender Recognition Reform Bill was passed with a 2/3 MAJORITY by the Scottish Parliament. The bill makes it easier for people to change their legal gender. Currently, to change your legal gender in Scotland (and in all the UK), trans people must meet costly, bureaucratic, and time-consuming legal procedures, and *successful* applicants still have to wait TWO TEARS until they can change their legal gender. Scotland says the UK is “stoking a culture w*r” and says they will take this to court. I will keep you updated. #Scotland #uk #unitedkingdom #🏴 #🇬🇧 #trans
