#StopSection35 - Let Scotland pass the Gender Reform bill

Petition Details

The Gender Reform bill was passed democratically with a big majority and multi-party support

3 public consultations show support from the vast majority of women's and LGBT groups

The bill doesn't affect the Equality Act 2010

The reasons the given for invoking Section 35 are insufficient

Additional Information

This bill is now one of the most consulted upon pieces of legislation in history. None of the consultations, inquiries or debates brought any evidence that the bill would impact other equalities legislation

18+ other countries around the world show similar legislation benefits their trans citizens and doesn't affect anyone else

Scottish trans people should be able to get married and die in dignity
