The SNP Government has finally admitted that it was involved in writing up transgender guidance for the NHS which has contributed to a very public employment tribunal. The likes of John Swinney have tried to insist they can't comment and have nothing to do with policy which allows biological men to use women-only facilities.

But a freedom of information request revealed that government civil servants helped to write new guidance on the use of "preferred" lavatories and changing rooms. They were part of a policy development group charged with drafting a new "gender transitioning guide" for the NHS.

This document claimed that telling a trans person that they cannot use their "preferred facilities" could amount to "unlawful discrimination on the grounds of gender reassignment." Legal experts have claimed that public bodies need to supply single-sex facilities as it is against the law not to.

The "development process" for this policy involved "subject matter experts" from "both the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland." But according to the Daily Telegraph, the government refused to say whether the experts were affiliated to the trans lobby groups who advise SNP Ministers.
