A Growing Threat: Is the rising tide of intimidation towards our politicians harming democracy?
RT @amoozeboosh: Let's remember that Engender's objection to adding 'sex' to the Hate Crime bill is that bad men may mis-use it. But no bad man will mis-use self-id... because why? https://t.co/28hiaO...
RT @mar_vickers: @ChristinaSNP @joannaccherry @JoyceBain4 @mcgoo44 @ScotCuthbertson So so far @ChristinaSNP we have demonstrated you don't understand the law, you don't understand the point of the law, you don't understand the effect of the law, and ...
Great response. Ms McKelvie has really shown herself up tonight. https://t.co/5XHTBt...
It also affects women very differently from men. Sadly, the symptoms and diagnosis for women are inadequately reported and under-researched. It does not help when certain politicians decide that sex does not exist or is irrelevant in "law". ...
RT @ALLIANCELGB: @ForwomenScot Even more contemptible coming from someone who chooses to misrepresent LGB history (he wasn't there) in an effort to silence women. LGB people wanted equality under the law; no comparison with what gender identity ...
Some additional information on the poll in Scotsman last week which was touted by the usual suspects as support for GRA and the sacking of @joannaccherry Leading questions doesn't begin to describe it! https://t.co/ocW60d... https://t.co/vx9cw2...
Safety, dignity and privacy are the words used in CEDAW. They are considered cornerstones in the fight against VAW. It is contemptible that some men think women having such basic human rights constitutes an attack on themselves. ...
So, the law does not say "TWAW". It allows a change of legal sex under condition (ca 5000 people) which, nevertheless, has caveats - even acknowledged in this article. The only person peddling misinformation here is the minister who still has not ...
Doubling down on a supremely ignorant comment is not wise. Ministers should not have such a cavalier disregard for the law, nor seek to rewrite it on Twitter. https://t.co/JqwARq...
This is probably the "law" in the same way that we recently discovered that the Scottish Gov were allowed to "ride roughshod" over the Equality Act. We are sure that Ms McKelvie will have no problem pointing to the specific part of statute that ...
RT @_freetodisagree: Some very good analysis here. MSPs must take seriously the remaining questions around freedom of expression at this late stage in the parliamentary process. If any uncertainty remains at Stage 3, in just a few weeks time, they ...
RT @mbmpolicy: Our latest blog considers discussions about freedom of expression protections in the Hate Crime and Public Order Bill which are taking place behind closed doors: https://t.co/cYPCcZ...
RT @hightreebud: @mbmpolicy I don't think there's enough time left in the month to sort out this kind of mess that women are facing. What say you @HumzaYousaf @ProfTomkins? https://t.co/VMJmIr...
Parody? It's hard to tell. At any rate this would be OK under #HateCrimeBill but the inoffensive slates with messages about women's rights might result in a police report. https://t.co/PK93y2...
RT @joannaccherry: I’ve spent the morning arranging enhanced security at my home & reporting another incident of concern to police. Unfounded allegations & calls to arms on twitter have consequences & I hope politicians from all parties ...
A perspective on "international best practice" from Norway. https://t.co/mfn2sa...
RT @nordicmodelnow: This letter has now been sent. You can find a copy and a list of the signatories here: https://t.co/lTc5GC...
Careful there, that will affect rather a few of your own, Angus... https://t.co/1Hs6LK...
RT @LabWomenDec: Thank you @LordPhilofBrum - Peers to urge Government to amend Maternity Bill in order to reference 'women' #MoMABill https://t.co/OTOnZr...
The #ChillingEffect of the new censors. New suppression of freedom of expression in Scotland which will be inevitable result of the #HateCrimeBill will make this even worse here. https://t.co/xWaK2E...
RT @fairplaywomen: We've spoken to a researcher recruiting people for a Covid Vaccine study. She told us the ONS decision makes her job harder. She needs to know biological sex but feels like she can’t ask that now. Instead she'll follow the ONS and ...
Utterly shocking, yet depressingly predictable. Yet, @HumzaYousaf thinks protecting women in his #hatecrimebill is not urgent. https://t.co/3JxubD...
Plenty of people cynically misrepresenting @ColetteWalker12 in order to attack a woman who is registered blind and the carer of a disabled son. This is dirty politics and an MP should be ashamed to join in. An apology is in order. ...
