RT @fairplaywomen: Most shocking of all is that Scottish officials appear woefully uninformed. It is unacceptable that we are able to pick holes in their knowledge when the bill is about to land any day. We have written this letter to Shona Robison. ...
Good thread on the Named Person legislation with some important parallels and lessons SG see determined to ignore. https://t.co/0X64Es...
Yes, they do. And do you know what is often the most distressing part? Being frightened that it won't be a female practitioner or that you'll be called a bigot for asking for one. You are aware that your party voted to prevent rape victims requesting ...
RT @joannaccherry: This is a conversation that many women in politics & public life myself included have had with their families because of the vicious abuse from some TRAs & MRAs. It would be nice if political leaders like Keir & David ...

If Stonewall do not believe that the law makes provision for single-sex spaces which can, legitimately, exclude members of the opposite sex regardless of identity, why did they campaign so hard to remove the exception in law? https://t.co/Fzp8xU...
RT @ElleMcIvor: @lukewmorrison @ForwomenScot @Ayrshirelass13 When my assault happened, it happened a peak hour. The train was full. Not a single person helped me and noone would make eye contact with me as I was trying to signal for help. Its not ...
These are questions @ScottishLabour and @AnasSarwar must answer now that their Shadow minister for Public Health and Social Care has deemed it wrong to use single sex exceptions under equality law to protect the most vulnerable in society. The ...
RT @langlumreek: @ForwomenScot What's next? Are women only to be allowed out of the house with a chaperone in case a man potentially places them in danger? Educate violent and forward men in how to behave around women. Don't shrink a woman's world ...
RT @hightreebud: Makes you wonder how @scottishlabour could have fulfilled their own manifesto pledge to reinstate women-only wards - if not for using the now hopefully completely enforceable existing law. PS. Even those bio males with a GRC can be ...
RT @AcrossParents: Paul, I wrote to you as a constituent and asked you about this very issue. Your response to me is here, where you correctly say that the EqA is the piece of legislation which is used to ensure single sex spaces. Has something ...
So they want female only carriages but they can't define women and think anyone can be one. So how will this work...? https://t.co/ryp2Co...
RT @campervanwoman: Oh FFS. @ScotGov are so useless. They are about to introduce legislation that will mean *any man* can declare himself to be a woman and change his legal sex to female. How in the name of fuck do they expect this to work? Utter ...
When we spoke to the minister @ShonaRobison she was clear that services and spaces are fully entitled to exclude members of the opposite sex. Meanwhile, @ScottishLabour promised to uphold EA in the manifesto which Mr O'Kane stood on We would welcome ...
Thank you Sarah! "It is unfortunate that this energy [of many capable women] is not currently being utilised by either the established women’s organisations in Scotland or its Govt." https://t.co/wcXULL...
Important debate in @ScotParl today on Online Pimping in name of @RBFMaguire. As she says, cracks in legislation have allowed online pimping to fuel "industrial scale" trafficking. We support her call to bring those profiting from the sale of women ...

Transport minister Jenny Gilruth: I feel threatened by drunk men on trains
Thread on a important cross-border issue with changing the GRA in Scotland which @scotgov has failed to notice. This is why we say they did NOT undertake a proper consultation. They missed the part where they read the responses. Had they done so, ...

Important thread. Report of meeting with Gov Officials. https://t.co/fbaCRO...
We agree with Ms Gilruth, there are "places where women [are] scared to go because of men’s behaviour". When will @scotgov accept that they are not helping this situation, by making it nigh impossible for women to object to male presence in some ...
