Oh Daunt Books! We love you (customer). But Grace talked about penises and nicking stuff from Maccie Ds. If we want male bonding chat, we can head to the pub with the boys after the match. This may seem SO funny to some, but women are not really ...

When we met officials at @NatRecordsScot they said their main aim was to maximise returns. The reason given for the destruction of data was that a fraction of trans people wouldn't return them. We told them they were playing with fire and risking a ...

Probably a foolish thing for a senior HR person in the NHS to tweet. Saying he's going to deliberate ignore the law wouldn't go well if an employee brings a case of sex discrimination to tribunal! https://t.co/EMXkzO...

RT @soniasodha: This is really bad advice. NHS Trusts needs to comply with the law as it is, not the law as mis-stated by campaign groups. Otherwise they risk being taken to court for unlawful discrimination themselves. https://t.co/0tQsA9...

RT @hightreebud: @womenspeakscot1 @ForWomenScot I think @ShonaRobison owes you an apology over that - it's a dreadful way to treat women who were there in good faith. As does the GRU who lied by omission even when asked the direct question.

Do Scottish Trans accept that sex and gender are different or do they not? When they lobbied Gov to remove the single sex exceptions, they were well aware that they allowed service to exclude those of the opposite sex. #RespectMySex ...

This thread might be helpful for Scottish Trans. It has always been lawful to exclude members of the opposite sex from single sex spaces. Both STA/EN used to pretend they had no issue with single sex exceptions. It seems STA do want to get rid of ...

For those who need reminding. Certain men (in this case Billy Bragg) are claiming they want a way forward. But not a way forward which allows the pesky women and gay people to have a say on our rights. That, right there, is the issue. ...

Some ill-informed commentators appear to think that having the PC of Gender Reassignment changes a person's sex. This is, & always has been, untrue as this answer given by Lynne Walsh of @EHRCScotland at an @EngenderScot seminar in 2020 makes ...
