In solidarity with Christina Ellingsen the Norwegian woman facing up to 3 years in prison for the ‘hate crime’ of saying men can’t be lesbians, I’ll say it too: MEN CAN’T BE LESBIANS - no matter how they identify. TWAM. TWAM. TWAM.

So @mcashmanCBE has decided that Rosie Duffield’s fears for her safety after she received dozens of rape & death threats are because she is ‘frit’ or ‘lazy’. Cashman - you are a thick, vile, misogynist, pig & if @Keir_Starmer had even the semblance of a backbone you’d be expelled.

It’s time to knock this ‘feel safe’ nonsense on the head. It never means physical safety. It’s wanting to exist in a world where no-one has a different opinion to you, challenges your views directly or indirectly, or refuses to go along with the lies you live. It’s ludicrous.

Sweden has seen a 1500% rise in young girls being ‘diagnosed’ with gender dysphoria in 10 years. If it’s all real, where are the 10s or 100s of thousands of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s ‘coming out’ as transgender? This is a cruel hoax being played on our children.

I support the retention of ‘Spousal Consent’ when granting GRCs. It means - that pple, usually women whose partner has ‘transitioned’ cannot be trapped in what would be in law a same-sex marriage. That is fair & just. If trans people don’t like it - they can get divorced.

Laura Waddell’s piece in the @Scotsman today is ludicrous. Is The Stand a workers co-op? Do they have full profit-sharing? Is it their policy that employees decide which shows are staged? That’ll be ‘No’, ‘No’ & ‘No’. So just a groundless, snide attack on @joannaccherry then.
