We asked the minister @ShonaRobison & the CS if they would consider blocking convicted sex offenders from applying for GRC and revoking GRCs if granted to those who went on to abuse. They didn't supply an answer. https://t.co/tvtUOQ...
"For Women Scotland, the feminist group, said: “This sexist bill takes a wrecking ball to safeguards by giving any man a passport to self-declare they are a woman without checks or any need for medication, surgery or diagnosis."" ...
Tuesday is #InternationalWomen... As darkness again falls on women's rights in Scotland, we think it appropriate to meet at 7pm at the Witches' Well on the Castle Esplanade, Edinburgh to commemorate those fallen sisters who went before us. Bring a ...
Presumably @ShonaRobison's position is that these are genuine TW. In which case, we need to address why there is an even higher incidence of sex abusers in this cohort that in "cis" men. OR admit that abusers will exploit loopholes. We think the ...
A predator pretending to be something they are not. Does anyone in Holyrood read the news? #womenwontwheest #SOS #SaveOurSpaces #SaveOurSex #No2SelfID https://t.co/3HQxN0...
The number of detransitioners is rising exponentially, but @ShonaRobison made no provision for them in a bill which will allow confused teenagers to change their sex with no hope of reversal. #ShameOnScotland #SOS #SaveOurSisters #womenwontwheest ...
This is should be a scandal. @scotgov &, worse, the civil service are discounting anything that counters their pre-determined course of action. @PermSecScot, are civil servants not supposed to be impartial & offer advice on the situation as ...
RT @LucyHunterB: @amoozeboosh @Alisdisgrace @glosswitch We FoI’d the advice to ministers on the Swedish research. The civil servant told them they could ignore it, because there was a blog by an online activist that said the lead researcher had done ...
The Great Pretence
RT @LucyHunterB: Whn I started wotk in 1990, one of the jobs I was given was attending the Home Office working group on criminal record vetting. It was eye-opening. I can't believe how in 2022 any of what is in this thread still needs spelling out so ...
As ever, Glosswitch is on point. Read through to get to @LucyHunterB's extraordinary revelation re. the partiality of Scotland's Civil Service on GRA reform. @scotgov knows males of all stripes are a danger to women, but they are ignoring evidence to ...
RT @amoozeboosh: Gosh. Look at the hidden replies! #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/fx4Knt...
What do our gay kids have to look forward to growing up if this person is a fitting keynote speaker at a #Lesbianlives2022 event? #Universitycollegec... is undermining homosexuality. https://t.co/xxfNCc...
Comment, @rapecrisisscot? You must have evidence that predatory men adopt all sorts of charming disguises to access vulnerable women. Will you publicly disabuse @ShonaRobison of her victim-blaming understanding that predators identify themselves in ...
RT @hightreebud: @TessWhite4NE @ScotTories Thanks Tess. Recording the number of GRCs issued would, I'd have thought, be basic admin. I'm not aware of any women's group who asked for this specific addition to the Bill. And when EVERYTHING else was ...
Thank you for picking up on this @clairebakermsp, we really hope @ScottishLabour continue to press on where this will make the operation of single sex provision harder. https://t.co/msm4FC...
This is so important. When you extend a right to new people these ARE new rights @ShonaRobison For example, female suffrage or the extension of the vote to 16 year olds in Scotland. The right to vote was not new, but it was for these groups. See ...

RT @David_Challen: 'Police in half of UK forces are under investigation for abusing powers for sexual gain' Suffering abuse from a trusted position of a power is the greatest betrayal of a victim's trust. Survivors voices deserve to be heard and see ...
RT @LabWomenDec: This is the time for @ScottishLabour MSPS to step up to the plate. Demand answers about the interaction with single-sex exceptions. Demand that conflicts of rights (e.g. in healthcare) are resolved. Don't be satisfied with passing ...
RT @LabWomenDec: So far @ShonaRobison has been selective in her use of evidence, dismissing that which contradicts her narrative. Today she called for respectful, evidence-based discussion. We'd like her to go back and review evidence already ...
RT @TwisterFilm: 1./ Today, the Scottish govt has brought forward a bill to introduce gender Self-ID. It means any man who says he's a woman can get legal recognition he's female. What's the problem? It's time to meet Stefonknee again; the 6ft 2 ...
And some will have constituents whose daughters are self- excluding from school or not drinking all day in order to avoid using mixed sex toilets. Some will be victims of the epidemic of sexual assault in schools. But they are just girls, so not ...
Tenfold increase in gender changes expected after self-identification law introduced
Still in disbelief.
"The SNP has been accused of acting in a discriminatory manner after suspending a prominent activist known for her criticism of plans to reform Scotland's gender recognition law." https://t.co/hXbTJz...
Some reading for @ShonaRobison of a few times men have pretended to be something they are not in order to attack others. Perhaps she would care to revise or withdraw the false claim she made in Holyrood yesterday? #womenwontwheest #sos #saveoursex ...
