The divide over Scotland’s gender laws – BBC News

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.
