Just another day of lunacy in the Scottish courts. Dr Kate Searle, a consultant in emergency medicine, says she knows she’s female because it says so on her birth certificate, but she personally isn’t an expert on recognising a baby’s sex.

‘I don’t think you can prove it’ is one hell of a way to deny withholding information from a tribunal.

However, Dr Searle’s a doctor, which makes her automatically trustworthy, the same way her male colleague, Dr Upton, became automatically trustworthy in the female changing rooms the moment he said he was a woman. #IStandWithSadiePeggie
