The divide over Scotland’s gender laws
BBC, 17 Feb 2022
The Scottish government has committed to make it easier for trans people to have their gender legally recognised.
It has been a hotly-contested issue, with critics voicing concerns about the potential implications for women of allowing people to self-identify their gender.
A survey conducted for the BBC suggests a general sympathy towards trans people accompanied by uncertainty and hesitation around the details of the changes.
On almost all the questions there was a clear age divide, with the under-35s much more inclined to take a position more sympathetic to reform.
