RT @NimkoAli: Thank you @jk_rowling đ¤
RT @JNHanvey: Pink News do not speak for me, or many other same sex attracted people. To us @jk_rowling is a very welcome and necessary voice of reason. #SexMatters https://t.co/lIsES2...
We hope the MSPs take note. Remember @agcolehamilton several polls have shown that self-ID is extremely unpopular with Lib Dem voters! https://t.co/vG2btF...
RT @_Lisa_Townsend: Thank you @andrewdoyle_com for doing the very opposite of shutting down debate! https://t.co/YYcmM8...
RT @LibVoice4Women: Lib Dem conference has just overwhelmingly passed a Constitutional Amendment motion to add the word 'sex' as a Protected Characteristic back into the party's Constitution. đđ¤đ #SexMatters #LDConf https://t.co/810VA1...
RT @SJWScot: @DalgetySusan @GillianKeel1 @scotgov @jk_rowling The process of hounding me out of the SGP started when I gently suggested to Slater she was wrong in publicly denigrating JKR for imagined transphobia in a book Slater admitted she had not ...
It seems there have been some hasty additions to Conor's hit job...I mean, article. A shame they couldn't ask @MGallacherMSP for comment before this went to print. Those commenting are pretty unanimous in their opinion of Harvie & Slater. Know ...
RT @MancFemNet: We hoped to fundraise for @matters_yes at our walk yesterday instead their merchandise was ruined by TRAs. If you can please buy/donate here https://t.co/GZblrD...
Great letter! https://t.co/KsmIHS...
Please share! https://t.co/snIXAR...
RT @ZoeGascoyne: Sharing this on behalf of a good friend. Her 14 year old nephew has been missing since Friday. Please share, he was seen with a friend boarding a train from Edinburgh to Plymouth so national coverage is needed đ ...
Thank you. The language from Ministers was dreadful. https://t.co/NkAgPX...
Was there ever any intention to seek consensus? 10 days. That's how long it took for Ministers in Sturgeon's government to start abusing opponents of GRA reform. https://t.co/UxdFOP...
RT @DalgetySusan: This is just provocation. Women are not using their âstatus & powerâ to punch down on anyone. We are pointing out, respectfully, that self-ID, either by policy capture or by legislation, will impact on womenâs rights. ...
Let's remember how these lesbian women felt when @patrickharvie's speech made them unsafe at Pride. The women recalled having bottles thrown at them after his words. They said that the police closed around them to protect them. Does he believe ...
RT @kathmurray1: 3 March: âThe Scottish Government has always been keen to seek consensus where possible and to work to support respectful debate. That will remain a guiding principle as the Bill progresses through Parliament.â 13 March: ...
RT @campervanwoman: Just discovered I'm blocked by Lorna Slater. I've never had any interaction with her at all on here. And before today i've only even mentioned her once in tweet, which didn't tag her. So that's nice. She, however, tweeted in ...
RT @SiobhanSynnot: @LucyHunterB @conor_matchett @scotonsunday Inflammatory rhetoric which is further enabled by a lazy journalist who can't be bothered quoting any counterpoints. SoS used to be so much better than this. ...
A thread (likely to run & run) of times members of SGP have made inflammatory comments about women. We complained about these three individuals last year. One was talking about "punching the fuck" out of women another was posting vile ...
This person is, apparently, the "girlfriend" of one of the people who violently attacked a woman yesterday because she was marching against male violence. Yet, @patrickharvie says women are the problem! https://t.co/jB8wcO...
RT @DalgetySusan: @ForwomenScot @Shamus216 @scotgov @jk_rowling And they are using their privileged position as government ministers to say that she should not stand up for womenâs rights. Leaders - for that is what they are - using their position to ...
RT @maggiemellon: Scottish governmentâs Gender Recognition Reform: Why gender identity is a disaster for our children https://t.co/XbqysC...
RT @Darcy29127813: Thank you Meghan I totally agree it has also emboldeneds violent men to assault women at a march against violence against women and girls, yesterday in Manchester. When our elected representatives demonise women who have genuine ...
RT @DalgetySusan: Freedom of speech is one of the fundamental tenets of our democracy. Itâs who we are. So itâs astonishing - and frankly very worrying - that two @scotgov ministers have chosen to publicly attack @jk_rowling for speaking up for ...
RT @juliepirone70: Meghan is right.This is blatantly wrong and shameful. #JKRowling #scotlandsshame https://t.co/r3LBFa...
They should and @ScotGovFM should demand it. https://t.co/QurQ8h...
This happened yesterday to women raising awareness of MVAW in Manchester. They were, apparently, attacked by people claiming to do it in the name of trans rights. With awful timing, @TheScotsman led today with smears by the Scottish Greens blaming ...
Can @CMAgovUK explain why the rights of Jewish and disabled staff are seen as secondary or optional? Stonewall are giving orgs illegal and discriminatory advice and they are paying thousands for it. Do any other outside lobbyists advise on how to ...
We wonder if they discussed how very young women & girls who identify as men should go into prostitution to fund surgery, engage in risky sexual practices or open themselves up to a charge of sex by deception. We cannot believe the Minister was ...
RT @LesbianGayNews: The equalities watchdog has launched a study into the sex versus gender row amid fears that the abuse of feminist academics by trans activists is harming freedom of expression. https://t.co/vWMg5y...
RT @TumshieM: @ForwomenScot @LindyLoo2020 @conor_matchett @scotonsunday #HarvieHatesWomen đđ https://t.co/iD8mTH...
This is terrible. Meanwhile, ministers in @NicolaSturgeon's government are blaming women for male violence. https://t.co/zGpRGq...
"For women and girls to thrive we need to cultivate a pluralistic society...and, more importantly, where women can feel comfortable speaking out...Most notably, women expressing concerns about womenâs rights have been dismissed and traduced." ...
"No sooner did we get sexism pushed out of education than the ideology of gender identity comes along and ushers it back in" @maggiemellon on Education. As she says, children deserve better. #WomenWontWheesht #SaveOurSonsandDaug...
RT @murdo_fraser: And so much for the ârespectful debateâ that @ShonaRobison was calling for. Clearly that plea fell on deaf ears amongst her own @scotgov colleagues.
RT @murdo_fraser: A disgraceful, unjustified slur against @jk_rowling by Ministers in the Scottish Govt. Is this your view @NicolaSturgeon, and is it not time you threw these extremists out of your Govt? https://t.co/0cXvNB...
Oh, and #HarvieHatesWomen! https://t.co/YNf1Zb...
RT @LucyHunterB: @conor_matchett @scotonsunday Government ministers using that sort of language about women like me is certainly a story. Whether itâs a story about women like me, though, is a separate question. ...
Scottish Greens @patrickharvie using inflammatory language which, as Lucy evidences, leads to real violence against women. Irresponsibly, @Conor_matchett of @TheScotsman decides to up the ante & singles out @jk_rowling. Disgusting. ...
