Scotland has become the first part of the UK to approve a self-identification system for people who want to change their legal gender.

The Scottish Parliament backed the controversial proposals by 86 to 39 in the final vote.

The reforms were opposed by several SNP MSPs, with one government minister resigning in protest earlier this year.

Conservative MSP Russell Findlay said the move has been "railroaded through with selective regard for evidence and little regard for women's concerns".
