Scotland’s Parliament faces criticism after it removes a “sex” or “gender” category from its website following the election of two trans members. On 7 May local elections, Dr Q Manivannan, who uses they/them pronouns, and Iris Duane became the first trans MSPs, both elected via the Scottish Green Party. According to the reports, the Parliament’s site previously included a filter that used “gender” (and was described by another outlet as a “sex” category), which is now no longer available. Gender-critical groups have criticised the change, arguing it affects how information is organised on the parliamentary site. The outlets describe the removal as a shift occurring after the election of the two trans MSPs, which has led to speculation that the website update is connected to their presence. The reports do not indicate the Parliament’s stated rationale for altering the category, nor do they provide evidence of any broader policy change beyond the website update. The controversy therefore centers on the timing and impact of the website’s removed filter.
