Trans Rights Protest Against UK Plan To Block Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - January 19: A "Trans Rights" placard adorns the statue of 18th century Scottish poet Robert Fergusson outside the famous Canongate Kirk in the Royal Mile, following a large demonstration outside the UK Government's headquarters in Scotland, protesting against the UK Government's decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, which was passed recently by the Scottish Parliament, on January 19, 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Rishi Sunak announced this week that the UK government will use a Section 35 order to block Scotland's recent Gender Recognition Reform Bill on the grounds that it will impede the operation of the UK Equality Act. Canongate Kirk is the place of worship of members of the royal family when in residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. (Photo by Ken Jack/Getty Images)
