https://www.parliament.scot/bills-and-laws/bills/gender-recognition-reform-scotland-bill:
The Bill changes the process to get a gender recognition certificate (GRC). A GRC is a certificate that legally recognises that a person’s gender is not the gender that they were assigned at birth, but is their “acquired gender”.
