My advice. Don’t justify the unjustifiable. Just say youmade a choice. Picked a side. Decided who was expendable and who was collateral damage. But never tell a survivor of male violence that you feel their pain. Just tell them other things mattered more. And live with your pick.

To state the obvious, the pomposity is risible. But quoting Mandela is offensive. Women’s views on the danger of predatory men dismissed; sex offenders’ ability to self id into women’s prisons prioritised; women survivors of sexual abuse not heard. Nothing to be proud of there..
“To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others”. In passing this legislation, I fervently believe the parliament & people of Scotland have taken one more step in doing just that.

Cisgender is used by academics worldwide to mean not transgender. Like any word, it could, but should not, be used in an insulting context.

Farewell my beloved friend Maria Fyfe. Thoughtful, principled, kind, she fought with every fibre of her being for a fairer world. Role models don’t come any smarter or inspiring or more fun. Heartsore today. My thoughts with her family - her love for them was beyond measure.🌹

There are some decisions that are just so overwhelmingly depressing and wildly inexplicable that it takes your breath away. How did we get to point where ‘sex cave performance’ is awarded public funding and a book festival is not? 🤷♀️🤷♀️😡😡
Exclusive: Glasgow's Aye Write book festival called off after Creative Scotland funding snub.

A day arguing for women - who see hatred routinely in their lives - to be included in
#HateCrimeBill
. Basic stuff. I abhor those who make racist comments or who seek to foment hatred against any vulnerable group including trans people. But be clear. Women’s lives matter.

What is it exactly that is feared from women meeting? Discussion?Debate? Agreement?Disagreement? Sisterhood? Women seeking to change the world and women’s lives. Maybe that is the silencers’ problem. The misogyny is as clear as ever, no matter how ‘progressive’ the wrapping.
Yet another thwarted attempt at cancelling- this time the

Astonishing that this easy lie is given airtime. Almost as if they know nothing of women’s organising through history. Without government money or far right patronage, women set up rape crisis centres, women’s aid refuges and won the argument on women’s suffrage and equal pay. 🤷♀️

Gosh how time flies. Remember when the fears expressed by women that bad faith actors - more accurately predatory men - would abuse self id were dismissed with barely concealed contempt? Now it turns out they are a handy shield to protect
@scotgov
from criticism…
Bad faith actors are intent on turning every issue into a culture war.
Let's not allow them to divide our society into those who are worthy of protection from hatred and those who are not.
Let's engage in robust debate, but one based on facts, not deliberate disinformation.

What she said…..💚🤍💜👏👏👏👏
Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11

The film is online and can be watched right now. But what the trans activists really fear and wish to halt is women coming together to discuss, debate and, yes, occasionally disagree. They should know by now

This film will be shown says the amazing Shereen Benjamin - not tonight but soon

Important comments here from
@JoanMcAlpine
who sought to encourage discussion not close down debate. And paid a price for her courage.
#WomenWontWheesht
Enormously significant judgement for feminism and free speech today in
@MForstater
case. Women who believe sex is real and question gender identity beliefs are protected under the Equality Act. Well done everybody who supported

Am reminded that the powerful campaign led by Maria Fyfe for a statue to commemorate the inspirational Mary Barbour could not secure one coin from Creative Scotland - despite all the community and educational work informing and driving the project. Yet another ‘Go figure’ moment.
Creative Scotland awards £85,000 Lottery cash to REIN an explicit hardcore sex film. Cast are paid to have “live” sex-not simulated- practices so extreme they’re offered psychological aftercare. Featuring “trans dykes” the disabled and porn workers. Lesbians warn it’s offensive.
