FWS said a Scottish human rights bill could become the latest example of the Scottish government attempting to bypass the Supreme Court ruling. The group warned that it was “almost guaranteed to be another law that will end up in the courts”.
A FWS spokeswoman said: “Putting gender identity into Scots law is hugely problematic. The Equality Act recognises the right not to believe in the concept of gender identity yet the Scottish government plans to legislate for a compulsory belief in it and for public bodies to take it into account.
“This is part of their thinking to overwrite the Equality Act by appealing to the greater power of ‘human rights’ which are what they want them to be, as opposed to what they actually are, to get around our Supreme Court ruling. It was the same argument the Scottish government made in our prisons case, and lost.”
