Fresh trans row in Scotland: Police call arrested transgender butcher 'man' despite Sturgeon's controversial attempts at gender reforms
The butcher, who was born Andrew George Miller but identifies as Amy, was described as a "53-year-old man" by Police Scotland.
However, the choice of police to call the arrested transgender woman a "man" comes despite Ms Sturgeon's attempts to change the law to make it easier for people to change their legally recognised gender.Police said they had been "very concerned" about the girl's welfare after she disappeared on Sunday.She was found on Monday night not far from Galashiels."It was about six years ago that Andy changed his name and started dressing and styling his hair as a female.
Ms Sturgeon has refused to be drawn on whether Bryson is male or female but has used female pronouns when referring to the rapist.
