RT @CallieMac88: There is a huge power imbalance in Scotland. Grassroots women’s groups are self funded thanks to women & our allies digging deep. If you can please consider donating to any of the groups below. #WomenMatter #WomenWontWheesht 🧵👇🏼 ...
RT @joannaccherry: Tomorrow’s @scotnational including my column on #freespeech & the #OnlineSafetyBill. It’s time @Twitter respected anti-discrimination law in the UK & included all the protected characteristics in the #EqualityAct in its ...
RT @RosieDuffield1: Thank you to @_HelenMott_ for highlighting this issue. https://t.co/MxtY5H...
"literally nothing has changed" unless you are an at risk woman in prison. @Rose_Of_Dawn says it better. https://t.co/aTTA7w... https://t.co/5sbaDX...
But all this counts for nothing for some in SG funded lobby groups, because Mandy also supports women's human's rights. So many women stood by the men they loved and the communities they cared about in the 80s. We are so grateful to those who ...
RT @DalgetySusan: @ScotCuthbertson Hi Scott, I have known Mandy since the 80s and she has always been a social justice campaigner. You may disagree with her views (and mine) on GRA reform but that doesn’t give you the right to suggest that she is a ...
Thank you for clarifying https://t.co/CNcgfB...
Solidarity with Ceri who is, again, facing harassment from the police. https://t.co/OXcmip...
We do! https://t.co/J2zpR9...
.@Docstockk has never been invited to give evidence to a Scottish committee. Always best to know your facts... https://t.co/nqYNSQ...
RT @VoteWithOurFeet: The phoney war is over. The real battle to stop Scotland’s GRA reform in its proposed form starts now. So we’ve opened up a new PayPal to fund more street action and activity. Watch. This. Space https://t.co/8FFDER...
When were these discussions? Because we weren't invited... https://t.co/BH31tQ...
Oh yes, that is what happened. We "failed to make a compelling argument" after the legislative timetable was already in operation and the Bill already written. Do these people think Gov business & substantial research is done in 2 hours on a ...
RT @LucyHunterB: Group B is often characterised by Group A in the most bad-faith possible way, assertions of secret funding from shadowy sources and the worst possible motives for engagement are made. The (wo)man is played constantly but very rarely ...

Guide to responding to the government Conversion Therapy consultation
RT @LabWomenDec: The Scottish Government didn't meet with any grassroots women's groups until shamed into it by an FOI from @mbmpolicy, despite a manifesto commitment to work with women. With a month to go until the Bill lands, that's far too little, ...
RT @fatblackcatspaw: https://t.co/J86CJr... please donate to @ForwomenScot @VoteWithOurFeet as we will need masses of resources in the next few weeks /months ...
Not sure what Scott means. Perhaps he meant to say followers of "grassroots feminists" responded after he smeared a journalist for publishing a reasonable piece in Holyrood Magazine. If he's so worried about "goons" he should think of women desperate ...

RT @starmum22: I've just emailed my MSP asking them stand up for Scottish women. Will you? @ForwomenScot https://t.co/hdPVld...
RT @judgejules75: My friend died yesterday so cancer is very much on my mind. I wrote a post because I’m worried that disadvantaged women will miss crucial health messages with the obfuscation of language. You attacked me for it. I’m not the terrible ...
MSPs to debate Gender Recognition Act reform next month
Not mentioned in any of the meetings with women's orgs this week, when we were assured our views would be taken into consideration. https://t.co/LJjYKW...
Campaigners challenge right to self-identify
RT @Jebadoo2: Now that I self-identify as pregnant the whole of GC twitter is no doubt clamouring to know who the father is! https://t.co/67GLYr...
RT @Scot_Feminists: Here are the areas where we currently have groups - if your area isn’t shown, you can join the nearest group or we can try to build a new group. Please note the new addition, we now have a group in Inverclyde!This support system ...
RT @CallieMac88: Women! Women can feel anxious about smear tests. I’m so disappointed you’ve been Stonewalled. You do great work but I can’t support an organisation that erases women as a distinct sex class by refusing to use the language that ...
RT @LucyHunterB: We put this argument to Scottish govt nearly two years ago, in our response to the consultation and we'd still like to hear their response. The legal effect of a GRC (on which SG and UK govt differ) matters, but so do the wider ...
Quite. Why should Nicky care about women in shelters, prison, rape counselling services when she's all right. Some people's lives are, thankfully, untouched by drugs or addiction, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to address them! https://t.co/4zejzu...
Weird how you fail to understand how: a) consultations work b) independent polling companies operate To say nothing of the fact that responses have not been published and it isn't just one poll. https://t.co/huhIAc...
During the "time for discussion", zealots screamed "no debate". Two consultations later & NONE of the points raised by women's orgs & others have been addressed. It isn't good enough that men like Matt decide we've missed the bus when we've ...
"feminist campaigners say the guidelines are unlawful as UK-wide legislation stipulates the census must include a question on sex, and government ministers or departments do not have the power to unilaterally alter what this means." ...
This is concerning. https://t.co/5GzvYv...
Yes, abusers have always been good at deception, "playing the long game" and using any and all means to access victims. Good that "sarah" admits to it! https://t.co/8UsiTh...

RT @campervanwoman: I was a girl in the 1970s and have been a woman since the 1980s and it’s equipped me to recognise a false analogy and hyperbolic nonsense fuelled by misogyny when I see it. https://t.co/sDXs9W...
In what way is @holyroodmandy on a "crusade against LGBT human rights"? Do you really think this hyperbole and whipping up panic helps? We repeat the only people looking to take rights are those who want to remove women's rights in law. ...
