‘A man cannot become a woman.’ and ‘’not all women have vaginas’ : This has been the rhetoric and a matter of controversy in the past few days in the United Kingdom and Scotland. So, what’s the matter on this divided issue on LGBTQ+ rights and reforms.? The Scottish government wants to pass a Bill that would allow trans people to self-identify their gender without medical or legal documents. But this has been vetoed by the UK govt. But, interestingly, other countries including Ireland, Denmark, have also approved a similar bill last month. Why is it that the Sunak government is insistent on blocking it? Is it trying to use the issue to distract from domestic problems? And the decision to block the bill comes barely two months after the UK Supreme Court blocked efforts by Scotland to hold a new independence referendum. Will UK’s opposition to this bill reignite the debate of Scottish independence? Geeta Mohan and Anna Priyadarshini discuss! Tune in!
