Scottish Parliament's trans bathroom ban condemned as 'unworkable'
Briefly

A new decision by the Scottish Parliament, following a UK Supreme Court ruling, bans trans women from using female toilets, citing biological sex. This change, which is meant to align with legal responsibilities, has been criticized by the Scottish Trans and Equality Network as 'unworkable' and harmful, as it risks excluding trans individuals from engaging in democracy. The SPCB will also implement gender-neutral facilities. Concerns were raised regarding the feelings of safety and welcome among trans people, who often avoid public toilets due to harassment fears.
The ban on trans women using female toilets in the Scottish Parliament is deemed 'unworkable' and limits trans people's participation in democracy.
In response to the Supreme Court ruling, Scottish Parliament decided to restrict toilet access based on biological sex, prompting condemnation from trans advocacy groups.
