Patrick Harvie, co-leader of the Scottish greens spreading misinformation about the Cass Report and stoking a culture war by refusing to deny or condemn his colleague Ross Greer’s description of it as a transphobic conservative report. This is irresponsible and dangerous.

The Cass Review is a watershed moment which should shame our politicians. My latest column in ⁦Holyrood magazine⁩ holyrood.com/editors-column…

Next time you hear a politician avoid addressing the content of the due to the “toxicity” of the debate read this & understand which side of the debate is putting Dr Cass in fear for her safety & spreading disinformation.

The Labour Party Hey guys! Help me out with a bet I'm having with my friends. Were (a) any women or (b) any women old enough to tell you to piss off consulted in the making of this?

Dear First Minister Humza Yousaf,

I object to you referring to Scotland’s 2.8 females as ‘cis’. We are NOT a subset of our sex class - ‘woman’ does not require a qualification. Nor are there several varieties of women and for you to suggest otherwise is hateful.

Yours,

An

Why couldn’t one of the many Scottish Government Ministers make a statement on Cass and the ongoing prescribing of puberty blockers at Sandyford? It is clearly a matter of public interest. The urgent questions would not be necessary if Ministers understood what accountability entails. 😳

Apparently the First Minister used his speech to the STUC to criticise those he claims are spreading misinformation about the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act. Just hours later, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice stands up in Parliament and misstates the legislation.

Interesting in light of the rewriting of history about why sex was not included in the Hate Crime legislation. The working group was established during the bill process as a result of concerns about exclusion of sex, not because women wanted a separate piece of legislation.

'Our daughters stayed quiet because they are afraid. We tried to speak up for them, and we were shut down... name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued.'

The general public deserves to understand in really simple terms whether what they are doing is criminal or not.

Sally asked a police front desk officer and was told he'd need to refer her questions to one of the Hate Crime Champions.

She asks: if the test is what 'a reasonable person' thinks, why does it need referring on, are police officers not reasonable people? It's a good question.

Police Scotland have logged more than 3,000 complaints in 48 hours since the new hate crime law came into force. But no, of course, this law won’t be weaponised by malicious actors. No wonder so many MSPs are avoiding interviews.
