MacAskill says Peggie case should be 'catalyst for change'

- BY MARY WRIGHT

A FORMER justice secretary is warning the Sandie Peggie trans "debacle" over changing rooms must be a "wake-up call" for Scotland's "brainwashed" public sector.

Kenny MacAskill said the landmark discrimination case should be a “catalyst for change”, insisting public services had a “duty” to accept the Supreme Court's ruling on biology.

He claimed many organisations appeared to be seeking to “delay or thwart the ruling” that allows men identifying as female to be banned from women's single sex spaces.

MacAskill is also calling for a clear-out of public sector boards claiming chairs and members failed to challenge chief executives and senior management as “harmful” trans ideology became embedded across Scotland.
