Leading LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall has criticised Labour after the party insisted it would keep the medical diagnosis element of trans people having their gender legally recognised.
The government claimed Holyrood's Gender Recognition Reform Bill - which gained the backing of a majority of MSPs - would lead to gender tourism and impact wider equalities legislation, such as the ability to provide single-sex spaces.But the then-first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, accused the Conservatives of"using trans people as a political weapon" to exert their power over Scotland.
"The requirement to obtain a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria remains an important part of accessing a gender recognition certificate," she wrote. She did offer some changes from a Labour government, saying:"Changing gender is not a decision anyone makes lightly. The process is intrusive, outdated and humiliating.
