A Free Church of Scotland pastor has told the Scottish Government that Christians cannot be silent on the truth of biological sex, amid its push to make changing legal sex much easier. Revd Stephen Allison said: “The Bible clearly teaches God created us male or female. We believe that sex cannot be reduced to a mere social construct but is a core part of our humanity.”The Scottish Government’s proposals on changing legal sex include removing the need for applicants to provide any medical evidence, reducing the two-year waiting period to three months and even allowing those as young as 16 to legally alter their birth sex. And earlier this week, women’s rights groups took the Scottish Government to court over its move to change the meaning of “sex” in the March 2022 census. The groups say the change to include men who identify as women would prevent accurate data collection and would remove single-sex spaces.
