This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)


The UK government has decided to block a controversial Scottish bill designed to make it easier for people to change their legally recognised gender.
He added: "If the Scottish government chooses to bring an amended bill back for reconsideration in the Scottish Parliament, I hope we can work together to find a constructive way forward that both respects devolution and the operation of UK Parliament legislation."
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has argued there are no grounds for the UK government to challenge the legislation as it falls within the powers of the Scottish Parliament.

They’re against trans rights? That is disappointing. >

They are against a system that would make easier for abusers to claim to be trans to access vulnerable people.  The thing is a lot of people are concerned that safeguarding is being thrown away to help a small set of people without proper scrutiny and debate and against popular opinion.
