Sex offenders and the Scottish GRC

Trying to clarify exactly what the implications of GRR are, even for male SO who are not prepared to ‘live as women’ for the rest of their lives

Wondering if it is possible for sex offenders (inc from England & Wales) to ‘live as a woman’ in Scotland for 3 months, apply for GRC in a different name, then live there for another 6 months, apply for a GRC in a third name and then continue life (perhaps back in England/Wales) with a shiny new birth certificate and unblemished record? Would the sex offenders’ register do anything to address this?

Assuming this is the case, I wonder why it isn’t being spelt out?

I can't see any reason why someone living in England Wales or Northern Ireland couldn't do this. The SNP know they just don't care.

Op, it has been spelt out but countless times apparently it's bigoted to do so.
The UK government may block it

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I do believe that once you have got your shiny new status, your DBS is wiped clean and you can start from scratch again.

What you will be starting is a moot point, of course.
