What is the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill?

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill (Scotland) will make it easier for transgender people to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), which is legal recognition of their acquired gender.

It will introduce a self-declaration system to obtain a GRC and will eliminate the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

It will also lower the minimum age for applicants from 18 to 16 and reduce the time required for an applicant to live in their acquired gender from two years to three months, albeit with a three-month cooling-off period afterwards.

While debated by MSPs in the Scottish Parliament, changes were made to the legislation to mean 16 and 17 year olds will have to live in their acquired gender for six months instead of three before applying for a GRC.

There will also be a new legal aggravation to the offense of fraudulent GRC application.

And anyone subject to a sexual harm prevention order or sexual offenses prevention order will not be able to apply for a GRC.
