Scottish Finance Secretary Derek Mackay has expressed anxiety over the potential impact of proposed gender legislation on transgender individuals. Speaking at a recent event, Mackay warned that such regulations could increase feelings of unease and anxiety among the community. His comments come amid ongoing debates surrounding the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which seeks to make it easier for transgender people to legally change their gender recognition. While acknowledging the need to balance individual rights with societal well-being, Mackay emphasized the importance of careful consideration during the legislative process to ensure the bill’s provisions do not cause further hardship or distress for transgender individuals.
