This is reprehensible from Scottish Government . The judgment relates to the entirety of the Equality Act and applies wherever it does.

Giving “Isla Bryson” a say or a voice on anything to do with women’s safety is a reflection on how any of this it hasn’t quite sunk in. As a rookie female reporter back in 2021, I went out on a job - because it’s a sisterly intersectional job ken.. it’s for you Jen, and it was

This male murderer was placed in the female prison estate & took a female prisoner to court for calling him a man. She loses out on parole while he gets his criminal record wiped. Demonstrates where women sit in the @scotgovjustice hierarchy, well behind murderers. Angela Constance

When men are included, it is by definition not women only. This information is very relevant to women who are looking for something - especially housing - that is specifically advertised as “woman only”. If men who claim to be women are included don’t claim it is “women only”.

Further thought on this. The sort of people in the lobby, or sitting in parliaments, who ask this kind of question about people with a Twitter account, a phone and a brain, could do a great public service by asking it much more often about the familiar NGOs who court them.

Assisted suicide is currently a criminal act - it receives legal scrutiny but there's also discretion when appropriate If the current Bill becomes law assisted suicide becomes a medical treatment & all Drs have to do is act in good faith & they'll be indemnified from prosecution

This needs to get out there. There's so much propaganda about this amendment. The amendment is NOT looking to change the process of abortion so the time is extended at all, never mind to 8 months. Just decriminalising women.

Scottish Feminist Network support Ash Regan MSP's demand to First Minister for a full audit of all public body policies to identify those non-compliant with the legal definition of sex, within the next 60 days. Because why would the First Minister say no? Thank you Ash.

Because there are some sexists who think women should be feminine and men should be masculine. And then there are other sexists who think feminine people should be women and masculine people should be men.

🧵While everyone rants about the UK decriminalising women who self-abort after 24 weeks (it's still illegal to advise or help medically, so not the gateway to gazillions of abortions at 40 weeks as people are wildly claiming), no-one is looking at the reasons why this happens.1/9

This is a very useful explainer. Just change the right hand column heading to "When we say this..." and the left hand one to "...we actually mean this"

We do not have words to say how angry we are. What do you think you are playing at NHS Grampian? Women’s bodies are not resources to be mined so older people can use their eggs. Scottish Government have done no research in to risks of egg retrieval. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… BBC News (UK)

I have stage 4 cancer. The hardest thing was having to tell my family & worrying about the pain this news would cause them. This👇perfectly expresses the worry that will lie now forever in a corner of my mind if this Bill becomes law, no matter how much I know my family love me.

Very sad news.
