1./ Great to see @thetimesscot take up the revelations in 'Nolan Investigates'. @stonewalluk lobbied the Scottish govt to remove the word 'mother' because the word "wasn't inclusive enough". 🤦‍♂️Only one thing is crazier than Stonewall asking for this. thetimes.co.uk/article/lgbt-a…
2./ And it's that the Scottish govt agreed to the demand. 'Malcolm Clark, said, "Gay people don’t want the word mother removed. For a word that has such resonance, to be cancelled by a lobbying organisation, without any public discussion, is just absurd."
3./ I also said, “It is going to backfire. As gay people we are putting our hands up and saying we don’t agree with this: not in our name.” When Sturgeon's legacy is assessed will they say,"Shame she didn't make any progress on Indy but what a triumph to cancel the word mother."?
4./ By the way I'm ...a...director of @ALLIANCELGB not THE director.

1./ Gold dust. I’m only half way through the @StephenNolan podcasts. He’s much too rude to me but despite that 😏…this is a rather fine piece of journalism. Perhaps it could only have been made out of London and the dinner party circle of the posh establishment.
2/ As an ex BBC producer I’m so proud of the Beeb for making this show. So many people slag off the BBC but it remains the finest broadcaster in the world by a long chalk. You think @SkyNews or @Channel4News would have done this investigative work?! Puhlease.
3./ As a gay man I also know many other gay people and women within the organisation who despair at the bullying imposition of legally inaccurate terminology and unscientific drivel within the Beeb. It’s great to see this being challenged.

1./ It seems @TaiwoOwatemi has tried to squeeze as many misrepresentations about @ALLIANCELGB into a letter as she can. The group doesn't oppose a 'conversion therapy' ban. It disputes a definition recently cobbled together which aims to enforce affirmation of gender identity.
2./ The Alliance never "refused to condemn those who would deny same-sex couples the right to marry". Lots of gay people reject marriage as an institution. @ALLIANCELGB doesn't and that's not the same thing anyway. It condemns the likes of Putin who DENY the right to marriage.
3./ Yes, @ALLIANCELGB opposes proposed reforms to the GRA. It opposes Self-ID, that's why. It's not in the interests of women, LGB people or trans people themselves for anyone to be able to decide on a whim they're the opposite sex with no safeguarding or gate-keeping.

1./ Does the promotion of 'Gender Identity' normalise fakery? That excruciating NASA video with #Kamala suggests so. Here's where she dispenses "important advice" to the kids. "Don't let anyone tell you who you are." This is a key trans rights mantra and a Democrat touchstone.👇
2./ Of course it's important for any child to 'find their true self' but a black child who says she's white remains black and vice versa. A child who says he's overweight when he's thin may require help. As for 'gender identity' spot the obvious problem with this @HRC advice.👇
3./ The HRC says "Children are not born knowing what it means to be a boy or a girl. They learn it from parents," etc. But when a boy decides he's a 'girl' didn't he learn what a 'girl' was from parents and other people too; the very people Kamala now says kids should ignore?

1./ Is it time to regulate our deeply dysfunctionally woke regulators? We Brits love the myth our civil servants and quango-ettes are motivated by a superabundance of public service. Then came the @dawes_melanie debacle at @Ofcom. Remember this question from just 10 months ago?👇
2./ At a @DCMS hearing its head Melanie Dawes was questioned by @MrJohnNicolson who compared @ALLIANCELGB to racists and slammed the BBC for including it in "balanced discussions". @dawes_melanie agreed with Nicolson's assertion and opined that such balance was unfortunate.🙄
3./ Forget that @MrJohnNicolson is an MP so self-obsessed he took to Twitter only this week to try to bully BA because they didn't realise the world spins round his ego. He oversees social media but seems happy to use it publicly to try to sort out his holiday car insurance.🤷‍♂️👇 Image

1./ What unites @RosieDuffield1 @joannaccherry @HelenMary_2021 and @KemiBadenoch? From different parties & outlooks these smart, liberal-minded WOMEN politicians are all hounded, harassed and slandered by LGBTQ+ extremists who are out of control.👇thetimes.co.uk/article/speake…
2./ Whether they're straight or gay doesn't matter. The fact they question strange, newly fashionable and rigidly enforced notions erasing the reality of being a woman gets them labelled bigots when they're only doing what every woman politician should do...speak up for women. Image
3./ In the two years since @ALLIANCELGB was founded more and more gay people have made it clear the extremists, the grifters, and the self-serving blowhards who claim to speak in our name are in fact tarnishing our reputations, turning a once-bullied minority into the bullies. Image

1./ "Transwomen are women", says @AlexofBrown in @TheScotsman today. "Yet it is a truth not universally acknowledged." Wow, it's a mystery Charlie Brown. Maybe we'll never get to the bottom of it. scotsman.com/news/opinion/t…
2./ Among his collection of clichés masquerading as an Opinion is the Scottish public voted for Self-ID. Get real. Where was Gender Self-ID in the SNP's Party Political Broadcasts (with their bonkers 1984 moodboard)?👇 snp.org/watch-our-new-…
3./ A month after the Scottish election @mbmpolicy dissected the arguments of all the major political parties when they were questioned about Self-ID or reform of the Gender Recognition Act. The level of disinformation and total confusion was startling. 👇murrayblackburnmackenzie.org/wp-content/upl…
