  2.  @andrewq159  Why don't you say what you regard the whole trans community UK wide ?

  3. How come the UK accepts overseas gender certificates from 41 overseas Countries including Scotland's Neighbours Norway, Iceland, Denmark & Sweden but UK has chosen to discriminate against Scots Trans People? What else does the UK discriminate against Scots in favour of people coming from Overseas ?

  7.  @davidmorris3981  Passed by the Scottish Parliament in December 2022 by 86 to 39 with members of all parties supporting the bill. UK government have to be challenged on this as it is a threat to human rights, the devolution settlement, all future legislation Passed in Scotland and access to the human right of self government. United Nations 1992 Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National Minorities. Article 2 2. Persons belonging to national minorities have the right to participate effectively in cultural, religious, social, economic and public life. 3. Persons belonging to national minorities have the right to participate effectively in decisions on the national and, where appropriate, regional level concerning the minority to which they belong or the regions in which they live.

  16.  @poowey  The Bill Passed by 86 votes for and 39 against. MSP's of All Parties voted in favour. Why should Scotland have the human right of access to self government undermined like UK is doing? Why is the UK violating human rights in part of the UK ? Why should human rights be deterred here but not in the rest of UK? UK government's use of section 35 has to be challenged as the precedent they have set could affect All future Scottish Bills being passed but then blocked. The UK is therefore threatening the Devolution Settlement, Scottish Parliaments ability to function, access to Human Right of Democracy & inability to improvement of rights, living standards, opportunities, social, economic & cultural development Future Bills could be blocked by the UK government such as Cost of Living Tenant Protection Scotland Act 2022 (from being extended) United Nations Convention for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women Incorporation Scotland Bill United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child Incorporation Scotland Bill European Charter of Local Self-Government Incorporation Scotland Bill National Care Service Scotland Bill Universal Free School Meals Scotland Bill Abortion Services Safe Access Zones Scotland Bill Tackling Misogyny Scotland Bill Women’s Entrepreneur Business Centre Bill Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Scotland Bill Charities Regulation & Administration Scotland Bill Employment Injuries Advisory Council Scotland Bill
