2. In 2019 a report was produced by TNLCF's Director for Scotland to assist in a review of the decision to award £500K over five years to #Mermaids after concerns were raised. The report claims that YP are legally binding & that all states must comply.

3. The YP are non-binding as confirmed by the UK Supreme Court. They do not represent 'international best practice'. They promote highly contested ideas such as making sex self ID the law & abolishing references to sex on a newborn child's birth certificate.
