• Nicola Sturgeon used the legal drinking age in bars.
• As an example of what teens should be allowed to do.
• She argued that laws governing what teens might do were inconsistent.

Nicola Sturgeon defended plans to allow 16-year-olds to alter their legal sex while advocating for a broader discussion on the rights of teens.

The first minister of Scotland claimed that laws governing what teens might do were inconsistent and used the legal drinking age in bars as an illustration.

She later explained her remarks, stating that she was opposed to changing the current drinking laws.

The UK government has obstructed Scotland’s gender recognition law.

Alister Jack, the Secretary of State for Scotland, invoked a Section 35 order to stop it from becoming law on the grounds that it would negatively affect equal rights rules that are applicable in Scotland, England, and Wales. The Scottish government disputes this assertion.

She stated that she thought the limited number of young people in this age range who might desire to alter their legal sex should be able to do so, and that the law for under-18s had added safeguards.

Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of Labor, previously stated on a tv program that he thinks a person should not make such a significant decision at the age of 16.
