South Lanarkshire political groups share opinions on the Gender Recognition Bill

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "The legislation will make life a little bit easier for those in one of the most stigmatised minorities in our country and has been welcomed by officials in the European Union and the UN."
53% : "National guidance is issued to public bodies and councils on how to interpret and apply the Equality Act, for example, and we will have to consider any changes to that guidance or any new guidance issued as a consequence of new law passed in the Scottish Parliament."
40% : It gives people the dignity of being able to say who they are, without needing a medical report, as though gender identity is a pathology, or an extended bureaucratic process.
