S35 decision tomorrow

I'm feeling about the same as I did the day before the 22nd Dec last year, which was rather queasy!

Feeling nervous for this one.

I found a good thread on twitter from Holyrood Magazine explaining it in terms I can understand.simple explanation and clever responses.

Ok, and going to Spreme court would mean Humza Yousuf, who said that Isla Bryson was "at it", defending a position that no one can ever tell sex and it can be changed with certificates and no trans person has ever done a bad thing ever?

While also fire fighting the issues no doubt created at home by rumours about his during-covid-activities, which shows hypocrisy after the SNP's MP who was sacked for being on a train during covid and his slagging off Boris Johnstone for his covid behaviour, never mind the morality of how we expect married men in positions of power and influence to behave. Albeit at least this one had an amazing hashtag.

As I understand it Scotland tried to bring in self-id such that it affects the rest of the UK as well.

The gov pushed back.

It's getting a decision tomorrow but it could go up to the Supreme Court ultimately.

It has so far cost taxpayers almost £230,000 in Scottish Government costs alone.

What a waste of money....there are 2 sexes, nothing more.

I'm not sure I understand this, I know it's important but I am confused by the number of articles on gender! Am I right in understanding?

This is happening because the Scottish government voted in self ID with the GRR Bill and that conflicts with some UK and international legislation. Alister Jack said "behave" and actioned an S35 to stop Holyrood's choices from messing up the UK Equality Act. And the Scottish Government protested because they say that's Westminster interfering in Scottish affairs.

So if Westminster win the GRR bill is thrown out and has to be revised but that will cause a riot amongst nationalists who will see it as interference from Westminster, and if the Scottish Government win it'll cause a riot amongst civil servants who'll have to work out what it means for lots of UK and international legislation and for gender services in Scotland because people will try and move, or acquire an address, so they can change their certificated gender which will count in Scotland but not in rUK.

All because some people in Scottish government are confused about what a woman is, although some of them are very sure about that issue whilst having extra marital affairs. Which relates to more future cases which will be difficult for the SNP but not the S35.
