RT @hightreebud: @patrickharvie Could you clarify the Greens position on this? When Andy Wightman left he said the Greens had embraced queer theory - which seems to be about breaking down all social conventions, including the age of consent. Does ...
But do they endorse the declaration or not? It's not complicated... https://t.co/J10qLd...
RT @SafeSchools_UK: @StonewallScot Really pleased to see you distance yourselves from the @ILGAWORLD document. We are still waiting for @UCU to do so. Given how the document is being interpreted, it is very important that organisations not in favour ...
RT @MiserereMei1: @osmodias @ForwomenScot @Ffuzzyface @scotmacscotbot @StonewallScot I see a document published online which ostensibly calls for the elimination of laws limiting the legal capacity of adolescents to consent to sex. It’s not for me to ...
Who put it in the public domain? Not the evil women, but the international org with Scot Gov funded members. Yet, here these men are, blaming unfunded women for calling out the wealthy orgs that got it so wrong. https://t.co/zw1PFr...
Yup https://t.co/SW7GCx...

RT @FondOfBeetles: This is so sad. She was 38, and spent most of her life struggling with her body. https://t.co/dRT8fH...
We are pleased to hear this. We trust @StonewallScot will immediately take steps to establish why ILGA - to which they belong - is a signatory to a doc asking for the elimination of laws limiting the legal capacity of adolescents to consent to sex. ...
A lesson from history: "How much of this damage could have been mitigated had the gay rights community just listened to the lesbians – the women activists who had been throwing up red flags as early as the 1970s?" https://t.co/noc1Aq...
RT @ScottishJenbel: when you feel unsafe by women meeting and talking about women's issues, you just reveal how much you actually hate women and are against women's rights. https://t.co/MHRHFO...
RT @hightreebud: @catskiv @VivienMartin4 @west_views @AlexMacLeod9 @flygirlie30 @ForwomenScot @scotgov @LGBTIScotland @StonewallScot The LGBT groups that are members of ILGA (and hence could be said to support the call to lower the age of consent) ...
It is not progressive to believe that women's bodies can be bought and sold or that there is ever an acceptable way to traffic women for sex. This open letter - signed by Stonewall - advocates for legalising the trade in flesh. https://t.co/KJJ50L...
.@TasminaSheikh says they have opened a conversation that needs to be had about women's rights. Many have felt alone. #AlbaWomen
RT @lnmackenzie1: @LucyHunterB Luxury beliefs from those who never imagine they'll find themselves in prison, or need any other single sex space. Like the FM saying gender self-identification poses no "threat to me as a woman or to my feminism". It's ...
RT @LucyHunterB: Women in this situation are not only entirely unrepresented in political debate by organisations which receive public money to represent women, their perspective is rejected as acceptable to recognise in public policy, and this is ...
RT @LaurenLeeman: 'Tossed aside like an unwanted gift' Emily Bryce addresses how a lot of older women feel. #AlbaWomen
RT @WeeScotUnicorn: Emily Bryce speaking for us all when she says how thirsty all us women have been for this feeling of being listened to and have our voices respected #AlbaWomen
RT @Joy_ismyname_: Delia Henry now talking about WASPI women, keeping women in poverty and a Universal Basic Income. Safeguarding is critical in all we’re speaking about. GRA and the impact this will have for many vulnerable women by making them ...
RT @nnriaz: Some really powerful conversations - have so missed the critical voices challenging the erasing of our rights and our experiences. #AlbaWomen
RT @lazyjoolz: As an amputee she uses able bodied toilets to rearrange her prosthesis. She doesn't want men witnessing this. #AlbaWomen
Now, @mickbrick54 talking about the vulnerability of disabled women, her frightening experience on a mixed sex ward 20 years ago and the additional needs disabled women have for women's spaces. #AlbaWomen
Powerful stuff from @nnriaz on racism and the intersection with women's rights. #AlbaWomen https://t.co/SavSI5...
RT @Gillian_Emm: For any women at the #AlbaWomen conference who is hearing the wonderfully informative @HotchkissRhona for the first time, here's a link from @ForwomenScot of a previous speech :) https://t.co/BVjbwS...
Brilliant and informative as always from @HotchkissRhona https://t.co/MBiiP8...
.@HotchkissRhona on the #AlbaWomen meeting was asked about comments from James Morton of STA regarding the SPS. Quoted here: https://t.co/JyKTsS...
RT @ChristinaH3ndry: Great to hear from @HotchkissRhona in our women’s conference: “The truth is sex is binary and women are oppressed and discriminated against” It’s time we give women a voice #AlbaWomen ...
RT @GraceBrodie: Rhona Hotchkiss - talking about issues in women's prisons; extreme gender stereotyping and the effect on gay children; being attracted to your own sex is not an issue it is natural #AlbaWomen #WomenSpeak ...
RT @HotchkissRhona: @grogipher That is an outright lie. I was not sacked from the Prison Service nor did I leave because of any views I hold. I retired after working for 40 years. Furthermore, I am not now, and never have been a transphobe.
