Nicola Sturgeon resigned because of the outcry at her failure to recognise that men cannot be women, commentators have said. Scotland’s longest-serving First Minister announced her resignation earlier this week, citing the toll on her health. She did not mention her blocked Bill that would have allowed 16-year-olds to change their legal sex by self-declaration without a medical diagnosis. Under the Bill, Graham would have been allowed to legally identify as a woman. In an unreleased report, the prison service said the new policy would remain in place until it has the findings from its 2019 Gender Identity and Gender Reassignment review.
