Yesterday, a group of women held a stall in Aberdeen to talk to the public about the legislation the Scottish Gov are proposing that will allow males to legally change their sex to female, and access female single-sex spaces.

And as if to demonstrate the concerns of the women, a group of men decided to protest against the women's right of free speech, to try and intimidate & silence them (reader, they failed!).
Do these men really think that by turning up with a flag, and standing in front of these 2/
women that their concerns about the new law will disappear? That the women will stop explaining to the public what is happening? That the women will stop writing to their MSPs in advance of the draft Bill? That women will wheesht? 3/
Well, we'll be very clear. Women will not be intimidated into silence. Women will continue to explain that the self identification of a person's sex has very real & serious implications for members of the opposite sex whether Scot Gov denies it or not. Women will NOT wheesht. 4/
These stalls will continue to be held across Scotland. As we draw closer to the point the draft legislation will be put in front of Parliament we will remain more vocal, educate more people. These misogynists help our cause. If you would like to join us, get in touch! 5/

Day 2 in the #WomenWontWheesht house and we wanted to give you more information about what we will be doing to contribute to the fight for women’s rights in Scotland. But first we need to send our thanks to @shirleysascot 1/
#WomenWontWheesht
There have been women's organisations set up to support each other from time immemorial, to support with domestic violence, childcare, sexuality, crafting and fighting the patriarchy (hell yeah!). In Scotland, there have been many groups specifically set up to address 2/
the worrying issue of the undermining or removal of women's legal rights, rights which were obtained only because of the suffragettes and suffragists that had been campaigning for equality of rights (image from 1908) 3/
