RT @Obsolesence: Get a strong coffee and read how the life of a single Bill in the Scottish Parliament (one that can result in criminalisation of free speech) has been influenced by single interest groups. You should be very angry. ...

RT @iseult: @ForwomenScot @HumzaYousaf But apparently that is not hate - though you would think it was incitement to violence. Hardly discussion or criticism. If it said "kill a lesbian/black man/Jew/trans/cross dresser" would it be Hate? ...
Sorry @scottishgreens we see you changed your handle. We would like to know if this is what you class as respectful debate? https://t.co/Jb6RFg...
RT @iseult: So @amnesty - apparently you are on the right side of history - empowering "queer" activists to attack women and spray paint graffiti that says "kill a Terf". Shame on you #ChillingEffect solidarité avec mes sœurs qui parlent de ...
Bobby coming out for #IWD2021 And what a lovely coat! Those #ScottishWitches are talented! #WomenWontWheesht #WomenAreWatching #WomensDay #SeizeTheDay https://t.co/hD3TiE...
This, @HumzaYousaf is what real hate looks like. VAW framed as a moral cause. https://t.co/Rsa1Py...
No dear boy, we aren't upset that anyone fights for LGBT rights. We believe in Human Rights for all. We are upset by men who think that women's rights are "hateful, cruel and bigoted" We only shared your own intemperate attacks on women. That isn't ...
Yes, it will, the Bill is classist and sexist! https://t.co/T9wycO...
Thank you @murdo_fraser https://t.co/kDVVVm...

Hate Crime Bill - Stage 3 Briefing - For Women Scotland
When women express fear that the #HateCrimeBill will be used to target women who stand up for our rights, we do so with good reason. Meet Tristan. Tristan is standing as the @scotgp candidate in South Scotland. Oddly, his election poster fails to ...
Another example of misogyny and MVAW masquerading as "progressive". These are desperate times for women's rights. Anyone who maintains this is about anything other than hatred of women needs to check themselves. #IWD2021 #WomenWontWheesht ...
The Green Party in Scotland is in an even worse state than in E&W where they at least have decent people like Theo. If women's rights are hateful, where does this leave CEDAW? https://t.co/7mX7Nt...
RT @MJHerbert: @ForwomenScot @hullfair looking foward to all those pictures of police, politicians. media stars etc making the feminist salute tomorrow on International Women's Day... https://t.co/jXyMvp...
Susanna's article from 7 years ago sheds a frightening light on how measures against "hate speech" are often, disproportionately, turned on those from poorer backgrounds. It's something @HumzaYousaf has so far failed to consider. #HateCrimeBill ...
Yes, @ONS considering some of the outrageous comments made by Cohen and the targeting of prominent women and orgs by his publication, perhaps consider if this is really the message you want to send? https://t.co/xPM8Qv...
This is really important. It will be unlikely that people discussing policy in the halls of power will be caught by this, but the same conversation in a working class home or down the pub? This Bill isn't just sexist, it's classist. #ChillingEffect ...
Thread! On #IWD2021 let us remember our sisters who struggle with inequality, our sisters who were never born, and our sisters who died before their time. #SexMatterss #WomenAreWatching #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/FtekmY...

We have prepared the following briefing which we have sent to all MSPs in advance of #HateCrimeBill debate. https://t.co/v0vbWU...
RT @iseult: Funny how @CrispinBlunt supports @stonewalluk so fully as they attempt to take a black lesbian's livelihood away from her. Out all her life and subject to sexism, racism & homophobia. Oops. No it's not funny at all. Morally corrupt. ...
Justifiably angry thread. Expect many, many more jumping on the bandwagon in the next 24 hours. #IWD2021 is in danger of becoming one more day where women are reduced to second class status. https://t.co/d7wNiv...

We echo the concerns of @mbmpolicy and @_freetodisagree expressed in the second part of this article. We hope many more MSPs will recognise, as @liamkerrMSP does, that this Bill is a threat to free speech. https://t.co/xoJSbF...
RT @nfergus: A powerful essay by Edward Skidelsky on the new totalitarians and their deformation of language: https://t.co/5p3TTl... Yes, Victor Klemperer would have recognized the phenomenon. Language of the Woke Reich, perhaps. ...
Decline and fall of #WomensRights in Scotland. What a tale the answers to these questions tell. All under @ScotGovFM who claims to be a "feminist". #IWD2021 #WomenAreWatching #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/HBYCR7...
The @scotgov are signed up to these schemes. As @legalfeminist says "every single public body that is signed up to the Stonewall Champions scheme or makes a submission to the Workplace Equality Index is laying itself open to potential judicial ...

Closed doors and closing down debate: policy capture in the Hate Crime Bill
RT @LesbianGayNews: Barrister Allison Bailey has released the full text of a complaint made by Stonewall against her and her response to it, writes LGN legal commentator Dennis Kavanagh. @BluskyeAllison @Jebadoo2 https://t.co/NVVktz...
Not to protect women. Mistakes? The Bill is an illiberal, draconian mess. Were it kicked into long grass, does Mr Yousaf not realise that existing law would protect most of these groups? Yet there might not be the opportunity to maliciously report ...
A new manifesto is launched by @womenspeakscot1 asking candidates to commit to protecting women's rights. As a non partisan group, we will support all candidates who pledge to do so. #WomenAreWatching #IWD2021 #WonenWontWheesht https://t.co/LeCcH8...
