EN justify inclusion of "cross-dressers" in HC as accused might claim motivation of hatred of c-dressers, rather than trans people. But, what if the accused used similar "loophole", claiming they thought person was a woman? After all, that's not ...
SNP are learning the hard way that for some activists, debate is hate
Really shocking that a publicly funded charity would seek to punish gay men for the crime of having discussions. As the article says, THT has decided to endanger the lives of those at risk of contracting AIDS. There is nothing progressive about this. ...

If Scot Gov could use this definition of gender, it would save a lot of bother. They won't though, as it makes clear that their determination to elevate gender over sex is baking stereotypes and prejudice into law. https://t.co/j8rAew...
