So we were right. This is to be hurried through and the recent meetings with women's orgs are not to be part of the Bill. Including the gaping issues with the proposed legislation which cannot have been rectified. Shameful. @ShonaRobison it was just ...

Great news. It is frustrating, however, that schools continue to implement unlawful and unpopular arrangements before understanding all the facts. https://t.co/zQCnmB...
Glad to see that Police Scotland are reviewing this policy. As @KennyMacAskill says “We have to have accuracy in our statistics and people who are fraudulently masquerading as women simply distort the basis upon which policies are formulated," ...
