When a sister is arrested for tweeting about suffragette ribbons, we are reminded to #BeKind thecritic.co.uk/womens-rights-…
When our governments try to erase our sex, the basis of our oppression, by saying *anyone* can be a woman, we are dismissed. #BeKind we are told Image
When we try to speak to our political leaders, to explain that sex is real, that the oppression of women throughout the ages and across the world, is based on biology, we are dismissed, our views are #NotValid Just shut up and #BeKind ImageImage
But enough with the #BeKind. Get Angry. Organise. Fight Back. Join us 👊

🧵 on self-ID. The Scottish govt's reaction to the news that the UK govt may have concerns about the Gender Recognition Bill and self ID drew a predictable reaction. Patrick Harvie says its because Wesminter doesn't believe Scotland has the right to make decisions. He's wrong. Image
There *are* serious cross-border issues around self-ID, not least for birth certificates, the administrative proof that someone has changed their legal sex. Remember, being able to change one's birth certificate without a medical check is the core demand of the self-ID campaign. Image
But under current Scottish govt proposals, if John, born in England but who now lives in Scotland, changes their sex, their birth certificate will NOT change. John will still be registered as male because the General Registrar in England has not yet agreed to recognise self-ID.

1/6 🧵on hypocrisy. Gender critical women (TERFS) like me are often accused of being in bed with the US Christian far-right, Putin even. Only last night I was accused of "teaming up with fascists"
2/6 Yet, when self-proclaimed feminist Nicola Sturgeon - a passionate supporter of trans rights - recently met an ultra-conservative, abortion-banning, former Tea Party member, Rep. Robert Aderholt (Alabama), the TRAs were silent.
3/6 Sturgeon said the Supreme Court decision to ban abortion was, "One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime...Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary".
But where was her solidarity with our US sisters when she willingly met with Aderholt?

🧵I have no doubt Nicola Sturgeon's anger at the Supreme Court's decision to remove a woman's constitutional right to a safe, legal abortion is heartfelt #RoeVsWade #WomensRightsAreHumanRights Image
But surely she must realise that trans ideology has emboldened anti-women forces across the world. Yet she continues to argue that self ID, where anyone over 16 can change their legal sex, is the right thing to do, regardless of its consequences on women's sex-based rights.
Doesn't she understand that allowing a man to simply assert "I am a woman," and so become one in the eyes of the law, is appropriation of our sex, and our hard-won sex based rights. It is the oppression of women.

🧵Today the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice committee will hear evidence about how data will be affected by self-ID. Or will they?
As @EHRC wrote earlier this year to @ShonaRobison the collection and use of data is one are where they have very real concerns
But only two witnesses have been called to give evidence on data. Paul Lowe, head of National Records of Scotland, the man who has just delivered the worst census returns in living memory

Short 🧵I have met online and IRL some of the kindest, most empathetic, thoughtful women through the campaign to protect women’s sex-based rights. For a @scotgov minister to suggest they are akin to racists and anti-semites is reprehensible
The minister has blocked me so I can’t address her directly, however I hope the FM @NicolaSturgeon will remind her of her duty to the electorate. As a minister, Slater must show respect for all, not just those people she chooses to side with. See point 1 of ministerial code
Slater also accused women’s groups of being funded by US hard-right groups. A claim that has no basis and is made in a deliberate effort to defame legitimate campaigners. Has she read the 7 principles of public life that underpins the ministerial code? Honesty is fundamental

🧵In advance of the @scotgov statement about gender reform and self-ID on Thursday, here’s 4 comment pieces from Scotland’s national press over last 4 days
First up is @joannaccherry whose defence of women’s rights is legendary
