A poll carried out amid the row over Westminster stepping in to block reforms of the gender recognition process in Scotland has found a majority in favour of independence
.
The GRR Bill was passed by a majority of MSPs following marathon sessions at Holyrood blockaded by filibusters and scores of amendments from opponents. However, the legislation has been vetoed using the never-before-used section of the Scotland Act, the law which granted Scotland its own government, parliament and devolved powers.
But critics including SNP MP Mhairi Black have blasted the move as an "attack on devolution" that seeks to undermine Scotland's power to make its own laws, and as a snub to transgender people. The GRR Bill, as enacted, would simplify the process a transgender person must go through to receive a gender recognition certificate legally recognising their preferred gender.
