RT @kimnicoll3: @hightreebud @Obsolesence @wornoutmumhack @ForwomenScot So it's the @scotgov position that someone who isn't female and who doesnt identify as a woman still counts as a woman. Mental and a betrayal of what the SNP claim they're doing ...

RT @hightreebud: @Obsolesence @wornoutmumhack @ForwomenScot Interesting. That completely goes against what I posted above, and the evidence James Morton gave to the Committee on GRPBA. Sounds like another late rule change now they've got their foot ...

RT @hightreebud: @ForwomenScot @wornoutmumhack The Scotgov QC is wrong. Equality Network have already tried to use the Act as precedent to influence direction of other laws. This is their evidence to Parliament about the recent Census Amendment Bill, ...

Bold statement from the Sandyford here: regret is only 1%, apparently, although they acknowledge it is an irreversible process. Apparently regret is being "normalised" which is "concerning". https://t.co/PNhhs8...

We'd like to thank our correspondent "Emily" who saw Susan on Reporting Scotland and called her "delusional" and "senior". I do hope usual suspects are on hand to condemn abelist and ageist comments. That was before she employed the "c" bomb. ...

RT @_Leyanelle_: Wow. So the Scottish Govt’s defence seems to be, in part anyway, that it can ignore the Equality Act when it comes to addressing workplace sex equality. THE FREAKIN *EQUALITY ACT*. https://t.co/Tt70Y9...

STA maintain that trans people are the "most marginalised". Under the current definition of "woman" in the GRPBA, Eddie Izzard would be able to usurp a woman's place. Are we really to believe he has suffered from the same structural and institutional ...
