Religious groups have been excluded from talks over proposed gender reform in Scotland, it has been claimed.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) is continuing its push for reforms to the Gender Recognition Act to allow individuals aged 16+ to change gender without a doctor’s certificate confirming gender dysphoria. Under the proposals, individuals will only have to live as the ‘acquired’ gender for three months instead of the current two years.

Despite promising to consult widely, a Freedom of Information request revealed that, since May 2021, SNP ministers met with five government-funded groups, including Scottish Trans Alliance, Stonewall Scotland. However, no meetings were held with major religious groups, the Daily Telegraph reported.
