A controversial law allowing people as young as 16 to legally change their gender has been passed by the Scottish Parliament.
The plans were criticised for how young people can legally have their gender changed, with opponents saying it could put them on a path to medical treatment that is irreversible.
The Gender Recognition Reform Bill removes the requirement for medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria to receive a gender recognition certificate . SNP minister Ash Reagan resigned in order to oppose the bill, and high-profile MP Joanna Cherry clashed with Nicola Sturgeon, having said party colleagues were 'scared to speak out' about gender reform ahead of the vote.
