Hamilton (Con) pressing the matter of recent @ForWomenScot judgement and impact on the #GRRBill.
Robison (SNP) states there are no changes to any protections under the euqlaity act. The bill does not amend the EA10. Judicial ruling doesn't impact the bill.
Thomson also pressing.

@ForWomenScot Stating that the #GRRBill doesn't alter the EA10, therefore not relevant, apparently.
"Bill provides reassurances that this doesn't modify the EA10."
Robison saying it's unnecessary to pick apart EA10 because it would be "confusing" and not needed.

Rachael Hamilton raises Am. 95:
"confirm that the applicant has discussed [their] intention to obtain a [GRC] with a medical professional and received any mental health support that was considered by that professional to be necessary." Opening for 'Watchful Waiting'? #GRRScotland

RH highlights the lack of definition for "living in the acquired gender".
"Bill applies to a much larger group than original GRA does. The proposed reforms leave the system wide open to abuse from bad actors." #GRRScotland

"Women's rights campaigners with concerns about the bill are not conflating transpeople with sex criminals. Those who attempt to frame their opposition in this way are irresponsible. To do so, as I suspect they know, is a gross mischaracterisation" #GRRScotland

ACH admits: "GRC is not required to be presented to access single-sex space or any place where vulnerable people need treatment. It's a piece of paper that recognises legally your gender identity. But it is not a valid form of entry or passport to these places." #GRRScotland
Reem Alsalem is on fucking fire 🔥
Making ScotGov look like the utter idiots that they are.
"There is no proof anywhere that it [GRA Reform] should be unhinged, that there should be complete disregard for safeguards."

"There doesn't need to be contact... they can look at you, flash you. You can fear being in their vicinity. This is also a form of sexual violence... men do not go through these same experiences & therefore may not have a full understanding of the implications." #ReemAlsalem
On ethnic minority & religious minority women: "Its our job as states & organisations to reduce [women's] barriers for access... the groups that have higher rates of violence potentially... we have to know why they won't access [services] without passing judgement." #ReemAlsalem
