Do you believe that that will predominantly be trans people?

What is your understanding of how trans people access single-sex spaces such as toilets or changing rooms now?

I have a question for Sandy Brindley. How does your service provide support to the women who come to you? How do you protect single-sex spaces and would having a gender recognition certificate be material to that?

I had a follow-up question on the legal position. I note that Jen Ang said she is a lawyer, and I heard my colleague Rachael Hamilton getting to the nub of the Cass review and whether we should hear from Hilary Cass. What in the bill would relate to the Cass review? Why would having a gender recognition certificate lead to a process of medical transition, which is what the Cass review alludes to? Are you aware of any circumstances in which a gender recognition certificate has been used significantly in that process?

Forgive me, convener. I am slightly confused because, on one hand, Malcolm Clark in particular seems to be saying that it is important for young people to have medical input and therapy, but on the other hand, you feel a bit concerned about pushing people towards medical intervention. Which is it?

I have to say that I think that there should be more support. However, on Lucy Hunter Blackburn’s point, and considering what is in the bill specifically, which part of the bill erases gender dysphoria?

I have a follow-up question. Who are the people whom you are really worried about? Will you share examples that you have seen from international evidence? I know that you have collected a lot of that.
