Two people who reversed their gender reassignment procedures will today raise fears about the SNP's gender reform plans.
Plans to make it easier for trans people to get gender recognition certificates have divided Holyrood and sparked the biggest SNP rebellion they have faced in power.
Scotland's politicians will today hear from two people who have expressed regret about their own gender reassignments and have voiced their concerns about the Scottish Government's proposals.
The proposed reforms seek to lower the age limit for people to get a gender recognition certificate from 18 to 16, remove the requirement for medical involvement and reduce the time a person must live in their preferred gender from two years to three months.
Last month, former community safety minister Ash Regan quit the Government to vote against the general principles of the reforms, along with eight party colleagues.
