RT @hightreebud: @MareeToddMSP I'm a constituent and neither you nor the FM speak for me. I am not young either, but I am fierce. 18 months ago I asked you to call for an inquiry about Sandyford. You did not. There's a lot of damaged kids out there ...
Well, we aren't in the SNP, so I assume she means women's rights will be revoked by that party. Yes, that is sort of the problem! Oh, and stop defaming Joanna. It isn't big or clever. https://t.co/eev1Vn...
RT @StuartPoet: @_TeachtheFuture @SusPartners Her views on Transgender rights? What rights don't transpeople have that women also have under the Equality Act & thus equal opps? This is an utterly disgraceful no-platforming of an elected female ...
As we said. Bat signal. Point out the transphobia. We are tired of the dirty games of the clique rushing to defend @ScotGovFM @NicolaSturgeon, these tactics do not reflect well on you. https://t.co/lIMbs2...

And what changes, Mr Blackford, do you propose? Do you agree that a misplaced pronoun should carry a jail sentence? Because that is what the mob who promoted the FM to speak tonight are demanding? Do you support the women's rights as defined in the ...

But will Scotland be a safe, tolerant place for women? Will you speak out against misogyny & do what is right as hoards of angry men abuse women - including politicians? It's not "woke" to pander to MRAs. It's not justice to ignore the erosion of ...

Back in the mists of time, we suggested that the proposed Scottish Hate Crime bill might be used as a stick to beat women who wanted to discuss the GRA, sex-based rights, & welfare of gender confused children. We were told we were being silly: no ...

Famous for being a trolling sexist. Quite the achievement! https://t.co/BbN4Xv...
Yes, because women standing up to sexist, bullying males and calling their behaviour what it is (knuckle-dragging = denotes regressive, unthinking machismo) are the problem and not the death and rape threats. I'm sure that these things are on a ...
Well, well, well. Humza Yousaf has proposed an amendment to his Hate Crime Bill to protect freedom of expression in relation to 'transgender identity'. But we're still very concerned that a man who "cross dresses" will get protection which a woman, ...
Last year Fiona Hyslop backed guidance on self-id in Scotland’s 2021 census. "This is the wrong approach and I'm glad the government in Westminster has, at least, seen sense. The purpose of the census was never to validate identities or protect ...
We still would like to know why a man who "cross dresses" will get a protection which a woman, wearing identical clothing, will lack. This smacks of men's rights activism @HumzaYousaf and we would really like a public statement on this. ...
