Why are the SNP so dementedly insistent on this? Am I confusing Twatter with the real world and most people aren't that bothered?

It would be interesting to see the outcome of the consultation
They also point out that making a false declaration would be a criminal offence. Give you're declaring how you feel inside, how would they ever prove it was false?

I think we need to see just how much Sturgeon’s position will be weakened by Alex Salmond’s court case next month.
If she is seen to be tarnished but does not resign I think it will be very unlikely that she will push for a universally loathed change in the law surrounding gender. The Scottish elections are next year and she won’t want to damage that as she’s already running a minority government propped up by the greens. Losing seats would be disastrous as they would have to start relying on labour/lib dems and the Tories to get anything through parliament.
