Former Scottish Labour leader, Johann Lamont, has put forward amendments to a national hate crime bill which would leave non-binary citizens unprotected from harassment and violence.
According to Herald Scotland, Lamont put forward the idea to define sex as either male or female in the bill, and then asked justice secretary, Humza Yousaf, how many sexes there are, to which he did not directly respond.
She then said she is “concerned” at Yousaf’s suggestion that there are “more than two sexes”.Lamont, who previously supported notions to remove trans women from single-sex spaces, told a virtual meeting of the Scottish justice committee: “I do want an explanation from the cabinet secretary for the use of the term ‘a different sex’.
