🧵 Holyrood will be sitting until 8pm on 20th December to consider amendments to the gender bill before a final vote & debate on the 21st December. The Bill if passed will have disastrous implications for disabled women and girls, not just in Scotland. 1/5 archive.ph/dxN1k

A person will be able to obtain a GRC from the age of 16 without the need of a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Their sex will be changed legally. If a man then goes into the care sector, this immediately grants them permission to deliver a woman’s/girl’s same-sex care. 2/5

The safeguarding implications of men having access to women and girl’s, especially if the care receiver or their family have made it clear they want same-sex care, are huge. Same-sex care rights would cease to exist as the man would now be recognised as a woman. 3/5
