RT @JohnCleese: I too believe in the basic principles of liberal democracy I think that people trying to dismantle them need to come up with some very good reasons https://t.co/s5QyXg...
RT @mbmpolicy: The other group which gave evidence at the Committee session in February, @ForwomenScot, have also now published their exchanges with @scotgov in July, promising further contact, which did not happen. https://t.co/AYkUQe...
During the deliberations on Hate Crime Bill @HumzaYousaf said that those concerned - incl ourselves and MBM - would be consulted on the explanatory notes. This turned out to be a hollow promise. Once again, @scotgov has failed to honour their ...
Sent by an anonymous friend, Ms Sturgeon and the witches pardon. #WomenWontWheesht #ShameOnScotland #ShameOnSturgeon #saveourspaces #No2SelfID https://t.co/zLZQDL...
We cannot protect women from hate if we do not accept that women exist in law or society and that, whatever suffering transwomen may have suffered, it will not be same and will come from a different place of hate. We don't have to pretend we are the ...
RT @polblonde: 'It is our preferred view that no offence should be created that requires a woman to prove that she is a woman.' Scotland getting its own Trojan horse: a proposed Misogyny law that will allow men to claim to be victims of misogyny. ...

RT @joannaccherry: Thanks to the @NewStatesman for asking me to articulate concerns about Self ID. The #NoDebate lobby have silenced all but a few determined voices. This is not healthy for our democracy, evidence-based policymaking or parliamentary ...
Sturgeon said of misogyny “Today it expresses itself, not in claims of witchcraft, but in everyday harassment, online rape threats and sexual violence." Yet she conveniently ignored it when men in her party did this to @joannaccherry or @jk_rowling ...
RT @NewsNation: A teammate of the transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania called her school “weak” and said they were afraid of cancel culture while telling NewsNation's @RichMcHugh Lia Thomas shouldn’t be allowed to swim for the ...
RT @ProfAliceS: It's interesting that the @UKLabour Shadow minister for Women talks about the "parenthood pay gap". It's an example of how de-sexing the language leads to inaccuracy. There is a motherhood pay gap. Fatherhood has actually been linked ...
Blistering from @joannaccherry on Scot Gov & GRA: "The fear that some men will abuse the opportunities presented by this bill is not rooted in transphobia, but rather based on the lived experience of many survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of ...

RT @holyroodmandy: “The phrase ‘Women won’t wheesht’ is a uniquely Scottish response to attempts to put women back in their box.” Happy #IWD2022 https://t.co/RhGdhx...
"the more invidious thing is the way bonds of trust have been broken... And a dividing line that has separated people into being pro or anti-trans. And yet it is a false narrative that has caused so much pain." https://t.co/87ZdIT...
RT @CallieMac88: On #IWD2022 I want to take a moment to salute Joan who was a trail blazer in the #WarOnWomen paying a heavy price. Holyrood is a poorer place without her. 💚🤍💜 #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/zcI33V...
RT @VoteWithOurFeet: No secret we have been singing @jk_rowling praises today. Not just because she is knocking it out of the park tonight but because she does stuff like set up @lumos . As a nice round up to #IWD2022 why not send them a donation? ...
