Just in case, we were the evil activists who caused women to ask questions, here is our newsletter in which we mention the SNP branch meetings where GRA reform will be discussed. We don't suggest threats or pickets, just turning up with a membership ...

If you change the meaning of words, then, of course, you can make this argument. This is why women are so keen not to let go of our language and our legal rights, because while Wadhwa thinks men haven't been allowed in women's prison, we beg to ...

Apparently rape & murder "rarely" happen to "actual women" (interesting distinction there, Alan, some might call it transphobic). If such attacks are rare in same sex space - unlike in unisex space - doesn't that tell Alan why we'd like to keep ...

And now this from Emma Cuthbertson. Might one wonder if the timing of these allegations (which are rejected by those at meetings) is an attempt to distract from the genuine horror show of misogyny unfolding on the thread of our most famous author? ...

Thank you @WomensPledge for your calm, factual account of the meeting. It is extremely troubling that senior members of @theSNP have joined a stampede to denounce women with no right of reply. The women of Scotland have ever reason to be frightened ...

This is who @Ianblackford_MP and @MhairiBlack are defending. Someone with supreme arrogance, confidence & no concern for making women frightened or uncomfortable. But dare to question Teddy at a meeting and they will come for you with the ducking ...

Who is trying to roll back human rights as defined in UK law and CEDAW? Who is denying there is a material, scientific, medical reality to being a woman? Who wants to erase the rights of a sex class? What sort of men think women only exist on their ...

What is it about this letter that means it is uncritically accepted without evidence? Meanwhile, reams of disgusting abuse sent to women is ignored. If only these MPs sprang so readily to our defence! @Ianblackford_MP could look at JKR's thread. ...

This sounds remarkably like Humza's law. The account of Teddy has been called into question by others who were there. Apparently, however, truth is less important than Teddy feeling upset. Women feel pretty terrified just now, why don't our feelings ...

Teddy, born male, identifies as NB. Teddy's role is to "educate". Women who ask questions at political meetings about their rights and spaces are "anti-trans". Yet a female councillor backs the latter day Paul who thinks women should stay silent in ...

No it's not "complicated nor sensitive" . Women have the right to their own space. The only people "chucking mud" are men demanding we give up our space. NO TO SELF ID @Keir_Starmer @piersmorgan @GMB
