The Scottish Government would like you to believe that proposed changes to the GRA will have no impact on women’s rights or single sex spaces and argue that these are protected in the Equality Act. Let’s look at this for a moment.

The Equality Act allows for single sex spaces where it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Where the single sex exceptions apply you can exclude someone of the male sex from female spaces whether or not they hold a GRC.

But the Equality Act states that service providers cannot ask someone if they have a GRC and a GRC allows the holder to change their birth certificate to that of the opposite sex to their sex observed and recorded sex at birth.

So the holder of a GRC could claim to have been observed and recorded as female at birth and that they are, therefore, entitled to access single sex spaces even where the single sex exceptions apply.

Currently the conditions to obtain a GRC are restricted to those with a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and only a tiny number of people hold a GRC allowing them to change their birth certificate.

Under the proposed changes to the GRA the category of people entitled to apply for a GRC is significantly widened to anybody who self identifies as the opposite sex.

They need take no hormones, nor undertake surgery and as they cannot be asked if they have a GRC virtually anybody could claim to have been observed and recorded as female at birth.

This makes the exceptions in the EA virtually unworkable as to challenge and suggest someone was not actually observed and recorded as female at birth despite what it says on their birth certificate is unlikely to ever happen. So the EA becomes impossibly to enforce.

Do you see the problem yet?

📨 Official correspondence to the associates of President Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic

My name is Jackson Hinkle and I am an American political commentator living in Los Angeles, California. My YouTube channel, The Dive with Jackson Hinkle, focuses on international news & the Special Military Operation in Donbass, has 123,000+ subscribers & garners over 10+ million views per month. I am reaching out because I would like to conduct an honest & fair interview with Ramzan Kadyrov, President of the Chechen Republic, about his views on the battle against fascist Banderites in Donbass, the senseless Western economic war against the Russian Federation, and the rise of Russia in the new multipolar world order.

For years, the mainstream media in the West has made millions of dollars off of selling lies about President Ramzan Kadyrov & the Chechen Republic. They are now propagandizing the American public yet again through lies that attempt to hide the Donbass genocide carried out by Ukrainian Nazis since 2014, erase the NATO provocation that sparked this battle in Donbass, and blame the Russian military for inexcusable Ukrainian war crimes carried out in regions such as Bucha, Slavyansk, Mariupol, Donetsk, and Kramatorsk. As President Ramzan Kadyrov himself has said, “The most striking and distinctive feature of our troops is concern for civilians.”
The West needs to hear the truth.

President Ramzan Kadyrov and his brothers fighting in Donbass have shown unparalleled courage and dedication in the fight against fascism and their story needs to be shared with a Western audience — I hope to make this happen. Since the start of the Special Military Operation in Donbass, I have diligently reported on the brave soldiers of the Russian Federation who have fulfilled the tasks assigned by President Vladimir Putin in liberating city after city, freeing innocent civilians from the likes of Aidar, Azov, and other Banderites. My audience would greatly appreciate the insight that President Kadyrov could give into the ongoing situation in Donbass.
