The time wasn’t right, actually.

Wadhwa was happy to morally shame rape survivors - to imply that their desire for female-only support was a sign of some personal taint. It's unforgiveable and there are so many 'feminists' who enabled it.

How many more women have to pay the price before people start listening to what feminists were saying 10 years ago?

The Minister for Equalities must now report to Parliament on what steps will be taken to ensure those at the government-funded Rape Crisis Scotland, who presided over the unlawful introduction of males within their single-sex service, 1/2

Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre was set up in 1978 by second wave feminists. Yesterday an independent report concluded that recently it has damaged some survivors. Engender, Scotland’s national feminist organisation has just published its weekly round up. It is silent on the ERCC

This actually brought a tear to my eye. The applause for Giselle Pelicot outside the courtroom She is incredible

Last week, hundreds of people came together in Parliament with one message: #StandUpForSingleSexServices. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a success. Let's keep the conversation going. standupforsinglesexservices.org

'What is a woman?' is not a gotcha question. The CEO of Rape Crisis Scotland says she wants services to offer 'women only spaces'. This is a worthless commitment without clarity about how RCS defines a woman.

The typical false equivalence between the harm faced by women as a result of gender ideology, and the hurt feelings of those promoting it

How many strategic forums and taskforces does it take to define a woman? 💡

This response from Sandy Brindley which focuses on a handful of people behaving like idiots on the internet rather than the serious failings she presided over shows she's learnt nothing from the review and is determined to cling to harmful ideology and prejudices. She must go.

Here's what Sandy Brindley says. GUARANTEED women-only spaces in EVERY rape crisis centre in Scotland. Reiterated in the Times today: "one thing that has remained core is protecting spaces for women. It has never changed and it never should". So let's have a look see... 1/n

2./ We were discussing what we were reading. I said I'd just finished Precipice by Robert Harris and was moving on to Ink Black Heart by ....J.K. Rowling. Pause. "Isn't it strange how Rowling has been cancelled?", asked this woman in her mid-20s. Tentatively. It is, I purred.

Righty-o, that's the Edinburgh launch tickets for HOUNDED on sale! This one, dear people, is both launch and CELEBRATION! Sat 2nd Nov, The Counting House. There will be reading, discussion, poetry & a stupid raffle. Plus normal book launch things! 🦊 TIX: bit.ly/3BfXq4p

NEW: The standards crisis in Rape Crisis We reviewed the Rape Crisis National Service Standards (RCNSS) and found that Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS) is in breach of its own standards 🧵 sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…

RCS and other Scottish civil-society organisations funded by the Scottish Government frequently say that “trans women are women”. This is Sandy Brindley's most recent “personal definition” 👇

Some history on ERCC, RCS, Mridul Wadhwa, & Sandy Brindley. We are aware that some people feel Ms Brindley is being subjected to a witch hunt, the like of which we would generally condemn. We feel it is therefore important to stress why we have these grave concerns. 🧵

By 2015, Wadhwa, identifying himself as an employee of RCS, gave evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee at Westminster, and argued that trans identifying people should be fully included in women’s services. committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

Important development regarding Police Scotland’s policy of recording the sex of those investigated or charged with crime.
