Scottish ministers are facing a massive public backlash over their planned gender recognition reforms, https://t.co/D6GDM3...
Marion Calder, co-founder of For Women Scotland, a feminist group, said that ministers were “rushing into legislation with no regard as to the impact on women’s rights, and have completely forgotten as to why we sometimes need to separate spaces by ...
Either trans people are disproportionately likely to be sex offenders or abusive men have successfully taken advantage of self-ID policies. We tend to latter, but the reaction to @jk_rowling tweet suggests many TRAs go with former! In either case, ...
