It cuts the waiting time to legally change gender and includes 16-year-olds.
It also ends the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
But ministers fear it may lead to biologically male Scots being put into female jails in England.
And youngsters born male who identify as female could be placed into all-girl schools.
The PM is set to finalise a unique move to send the proposed laws back to Scotland’s parliament.
Holyrood voted to approve the bill last month after days of debate and heated scenes at the parliament.

The PM previously confessed to being “concerned” by the legislation.
