RT @SebastianPott10: @crit_gen Absolutely. I've supported a client (female) in court who was made to refer to her male sexed rapist as she. It was absolutely disgusting and her reticence (eg stuttering over pronouns) was used against her to attack ...
RT @VoteWithOurFeet: Is this the most remote location reached by the Sole Sisters?! The Singing Sands, known as Camas an Lighe, are in remote Argyll and get their name from the sound made by the white sand when it’s stepped upon. Were the sands ...
RT @JohannLamont: @AnnieCCPS @ForwomenScot @pauline4glasgow Indeed. The SParlt passed a Hate Crime Bill that excluded women despite all too clear evidence of male violence against women. The tragedy of Sarah Everard’s murder was unfolding in real ...
RT @nikidion_67: @ripx4nutmeg @DavidLammy @DominicRaab @Conservatives They could do a duet: Raab: I don't know much about misogyny. Lamy: I don't know much gynaecology . ...
RT @hightreebud: @AngusRobertson @WhiteRibbonScot So you want to learn from feminists to shape foreign policy, yet shun our views when shaping home policy. I find your position "not valid", to coin a phrase. ...
Are there any journalists (or even people capable of reading) at @USATODAY ? Why the need to lie this egregiously about what @jk_rowling said? Do you assume that all readers are lazy and stupid? This is propaganda. https://t.co/L7Z3jo...
We've been sent this wonderful picture of one of our younger supporters. Her mum says she was moved to make the poster after seeing the Lancet cover (and inspired by @VoteWithOurFeet). Thank you! #WomenWontWheesht and neither will girls! ...
RT @youknowitmakes1: @ForwomenScot So women put up ribbons and the men run in fear. Men put up ribbons and women are to cheer ...
Lovely. Now, can you define a woman and can you reassure women that, in light of revelations about women being assaulted, gaslit and called bigots in women-only hospital spaces, you will commit to upholding our legal rights in EA and single sex ...
This response to David Lammy mocking Raab's rather stupid comment is brilliant. New definition of "misogyny". https://t.co/maAkpZ...
RT @amoozeboosh: Hang on @DavidLammy, surely @UKLabour 's position on self-identification of sex means that misogyny CAN be a man insulting a woman or a woman against a man? It's all very confusing (because it's bullshit). https://t.co/yQBFo7...
MBM response to the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee decision on Petition 1876
Response from MBM on the committee's decision to keep the petition open and seek further evidence. We are likewise pleased that they intend to take this further. https://t.co/I3JHTa...
RT @RoddyQC: Various reasons were given for not including misogyny (or misandry) in original Scottish hate crime bill. Recent events suggest this needs to be reconsidered, IMHO. Sex is the only protected characteristic not included. Concerns can be ...
The othering of black, disabled or working class women by equating them to male bodied people continues. How can they not see how racist, ableist and classist this is? Do they really think anyone who deviates from white, middle class & ...
We, @JohannLamont & others said in March that sex should be added now and revised if working group found issues. @pauline4glasgow asked yesterday why it couldn't be done now. Now, apparently, they are leaning to an aggravator for misogyny, but ...

RT @campervanwoman: @ForwomenScot I also noted this from Stonewall - reminiscent of their arguments about sport. NOBODY has ever said transwomen should not be able to access dignified and high quality health care. But lying about their sex is a) not ...
RT @wornoutmumhack: “We're leaning towards certainly, an aggravating hate crime element being introduced into the law, but we were still taking evidence.” Of course this could have been done already AND the working group be set up to look at other ...

Good to see @AskNic of @fairplaywomen given space in @guardian to discuss fairness in women's sport. As she says, ‘It cannot be right that a sport could continue to prioritise trans people’s wishes over fairness and safety for women’ ...
Thank you to Pauline McNeill MSP for asking this question of the Justice Secretary yesterday. A reminder that the Hate Crime Act protects cross dressing men but not women. ...
