Thank you to all MSPs who took part in my debate on safe and fair sport for women and girls 🙏 Olympian Sharron Davies backed my debate and shared why we MUST protect the women's category in sport. Listen to her powerful words 🔊👇 @sharrond62 #SaveWomensSports

UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem has produced a pivotal report on violence against women and girls in sport. It's a must-read. To protect safety and fairness in women's sport, we MUST protect the women's category in sport. @UNSRVAW #SaveWomensSports

John Swinney's SNP has wasted millions on the unwanted and unworkable National Care Service. Meanwhile, social care is collapsing. Care homes are closing. @RussellFindlay1 is spot on. This is classic SNP, wasting time and money and neglecting what people really need. #FMQs

This is appalling. Last week, Chief Constable Jo Farrell said Police Scotland would never record a male rapist as female. But a dossier from 2023 shows the force considered recording Isla Bryon as FEMALE on the sex offenders register. More serious questions for the force 👇

It is so disappointing to see this from Maggie Chapman when the debate was respectful and constructive. When it comes to safety and fairness for women and girls, I won't back down. Women won't be silenced, and we should be able to discuss these issues without condemnation.

Scottish Greens MSP @MaggieChapman says @TessWhite4NE 's motion "echoes toxic narratives". Chapman says she stands with trans people and will do for "as long as it takes for this poison to be washed from our politics, our media and our life".

Thank you @TessWhite4NE for leading today's parliamentary debate on safe and fair sport for women and girls. "For every male in the female category, a female is excluded." Every week there are more stories about women and girls facing unfair, and sometimes unsafe, sport 🧵

Thank you @TessWhite4NE let’s hope the Scottish government will listen to what the public want not activists who don’t seem to care one jot about the sporting dreams of young females

Thank you @TessWhite4NE . 🙏 I have been bullied, intimidated, threatened & lost work for saying no males in the Female category. “Institutional cowardice” is exactly the problem. Sports bodies need to find some courage to protect the female category NOW. #SaveWomensSports

We must be able to call for the preservation of women’s sports and challenge institutional cowardice. Women mustn't be bullied or silenced. The UK Equality Act 2010 is on our side 👇🎥 @mara_yamauchi @Martina @sharrond62 @FWSSport @SexMattersOrg @WRNScotland @fairplaywomen

Male advantage exists in sport. And that is why biological sex matters in sport. Society has become so captured by so-called ‘inclusion’ that instead of levelling the playing field for women in sport, women are being marginalised even more than before 👇🎥 #SaveWomensSports

Tory MSP @TessWhite4NE says "institutional cowardice" has allowed women's sport to be threatened by the inclusion of trans athletes. "We must be able to question the implication of trans inclusion in sport for women without condemnation and without recrimination."

New figures from @ScotTories show the SNP has squandered more than £28 million on the doomed National Care Service. When I raised this with him, all I got from Neil Gray was 'nothing to see here'. Enough is enough. The SNP needs to pull the plug on this unworkable scheme 👇📽️

Councils, trade unions & NHS bosses have hit out at the SNP's NCS proposals. Legal experts warned today the plans won't fix the current crisis in social care: 🎙️"...There are real needs that require to be met and none of that's going to be addressed by this legislation" 👇📽️
