Women saying they will not vote for politicians who fail to protect their human rights is, apparently, bigotry. He sounds nice... https://t.co/sSyqHq...

Why are so many trans "allies" like this? Presumably because they aren't allies of anyone at all and just want the excuse to attack women while, in truth, genuinely loathing those they pretend to defend. None of the women attacked so egregiously ...

A reminder that this really is conversion therapy - embraced by those who openly talk of punishing ("really spanking") a three year old for liking "girl" toys. When @theSNP talk of conversion therapy, somehow we doubt they mean this. ...

Why is this not happening in Scotland? Surely, part of the commitment in @theSNP to trans healthcare should include a review? It would also inform services for detransitioners. https://t.co/jamRyC...

We still don't know what the results of the last consultation were. We still don't know if the government were ditching responses that failed to comply with their "transwomen are women" policy. A majority SNP gov will take this as a green light. ...

Doubt we can expect three days of stories in the national press condemning parliamentary candidates for likening women's rights campaigners to white supremacists.

Johann Lamont: The Scottish Parliament has not improved the lives of Scotland's women
Heather Herbert dislikes feminists and openly sneered at Johann Lamont's passionate speeches in defence of women's rights. For some, trans rights is just a cover for a loathing of women. @ScottishLabour this is really inappropriate. ...
Not content with openly advocating removing women's rights in their manifesto, the Scottish Greens are now indulging in lurid fantasies about "state-sanctioned inspections of children's genitals" https://t.co/W4piAL...
