Kenny Farquharson The Times and The Sunday Times Such a bad take IMO, Kenny, I’d love to know what is progressive about the two former first ministers you’re celebrating advocating the idea that a man could become a woman by declaring it to be so. Neither do I believe that water can be turned into wine btw.

THREAD Jenny's career was up-ended (as was mine) by fellow workers in the arts for defending the legitimacy of sex-based rights.

This has been an ugly, ugly period in Scottish poetry/literature when too many actively enjoyed persecuting fellow writers. Now is time for a reset.

I am so utterly fed up with this fucking ridiculous debate.
Ten years wasted to prove that men are not women.
Fucking hell !!
like we didn't have nothing else to do !!!

Brave and courageous people, like J.K. Rowling, who speak out about the distortion of the definition of woman, will allow the tides to turn. The full episode is here:youtu.be/zzTLmJ3EaU0?si… #truth #gender

Who does Starmer imagine will be impressed by his behaviour? Me for UnHerd:

I'm at a loss to understand what Starmer thought he was doing when asked if Rosie Duffield was right to say that only women have a cervix, he chose to reply, 'biologically of course she's right'.
Does he imagine there's an alternative to a biological cervix? What is it - Lego?

Men who filmed 6000 people using bathrooms and swimming pool changing rooms jailed. But it wasn’t ’people’ was it, it was women and girls. standard.co.uk/news/crime/men…

So sorry to be missing this. Not least for the old-fashioned joy of being able to walk into an Edinburgh Uni lecture theatre for a public event with women at its centre without being harassed, harangued and feeling very threatened. Edinburgh Academics for Academic Freedom

Happy Tuesday, Snackerdoodles.

“Your disruptions are unwanted”
Nicely done Prof Jo Phoenix!

Watch as grown man in a pink skirt has a tantrum and then storms out to great terven applause in Edinburgh this evening.

Thanks to my Scottish pal, BB, for the clip.

Susan Dalgety TerfyMcTerfyFace 🦖 Prof Jo Phoenix Without a glimpse of his face, you can see this is a man. All the more obvious because of his efforts to disguise the fact that he's a man. It just makes him stand out more. What a buffoon. Can we start laughing yet?

Susan Dalgety Prof Jo Phoenix The TRA's always wear masks I notice.
Same at Edinburgh LWS.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

No one is attacking gay men and lesbians in serious discourse like this. The only group from which rampant homophobia is now spewing is the very group that tells us 'there's no LGB without the T'. This forced marriage is a now a very abusive relationship. Time to end it.

We're here, in Edinburgh, at In Conversation with Jo Phoenix.

He's doing his best to communicate, I am sure... 🤔🤨😬

For Women Scotland TRANSLATION: To destroy women's rights, we changed the meaning of the word 'woman' to include men.

For Women Scotland were having none of it. Funded by the public, they gubbed us in court.

We also spent a lot of your money on court expenses.

Love Shirley xx

For Women Scotland I hope it stuck in their throats to have to swallow that. All the Aunt Lydia’s sitting in a row - Chapman, Adams, Somerville et al. Thank you once again for bringing forward the judicial review that brought this back to the committee for amendment.

Colette Ramsay Macha No, the court decision said such provision for women excludes biological males. But then Scottish Government changed the statutory guidance to include bio males with a GRC. We challenged this in another judicial review, the court found in favour of Scottish Government & on we go to the Supreme Court.
