  • For Women Scotland (FWS) is a Scottish campaign group that opposes proposed reforms allowing individuals to change their recorded sex in legal documents by means of self-declaration. The group campaigns against changes to transgender rights and has been described as anti-trans, as trans-exclusionary radical feminist, and as a "gender-critical feminist group". For Women Scotland says that proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act 2004 to allow people as young as 16 to change their legal gender through self-identification would erode women's rights and would violate the Equality Act 2010. It also says that it supports legislation to support vulnerable groups, provided existing rights are not affected. The group has stated its beliefs "that there are only two sexes, that a person’s sex is not a choice, nor can it be changed". (en)
