I see the witch prickers continue to harass & abuse @GussieGrips.
Scotland is a basket case when it comes to freedom of speech & women’s rights.
This regression has taken place under the watch of a female FM who has actively encouraged the vilification & dehumanisation of women.
No one knows this better than Joanna Cherry. The ongoing harassment of Scotland’s most capable & successful MP is disgraceful.
The FM continues to ignore the vendetta ongoing for years against JC.
Her silence has brought shame on our nation. #DeedsNotWords
Despite women pleading to be heard the FM has left women in no doubt that not only are their concerns “not valid” but following her emergency broom cupboard broadcast-opinionated women are not valid or valued in Scotland.
Know them by their deeds.
Let us not forget the gerrymandering of the internal selection process for List candidates which saw Joan McAlpine lose her seat.
The governing party of Scotland has been hijacked by undemocratic cronies who bully, harass & punish those they disagree with-encouraged by a weak FM
Despite the ongoing campaign of harassment Elaine remains dignified & resolute.
Her crime is to highlight the poor medical care on offer for women & transmen.
If you haven’t seen her show I’d strongly recommend it. If you’re angry at the injustice meted out buy a ticket.
If you’re worried about the direction Scotland is going in, now is the time to speak out. @Scot_Feminists have groups all over Scotland. Join hundreds of other women uniting to defend our rights & resist the witch prickers attack on believers in biology. #WomenWontWheesht
@ForWomenScot have organised an demo at parliament on Thurs 15th Sept.
Our elective representatives are not listening so let’s ensure they hear us. #No2SelfID

The UN dude said there’s no evidence of harm to women in other countries.
They don’t measure the impact therefore they do not collate evidence of risk & detriment to women.
We know this is a lie.
Dolatowski, a violent, predatory male in a female prison.
"The bill does not create a single new right for trans people; all it does is simplify existing processes.”
No other marginalised group demands the rights of another disadvantaged group.
This bill affords any male on their say so, the right 2access female spaces & services.
The committee scrutinising the GRR Bill in Scotland refused to meet with female survivors of male violence, confirming female survivors are the most marginalised & vulnerable group because even their government won’t acknowledge them or listen 2their lived experience. #No2SelfID
The committee met with at least 14 different lobby groups & activists from the gender identity industry.
The SNP stated in their ‘21 manifesto they would engage with women on this issue & misled the electorate into believing they were listening to all the arguments. #No2SelfID
The FM told women our concerns were ‘not valid’ & this was evidenced in the approach taken by the committee.
The very few women who were invited to meet with the committee were subjected to some bias committee members dismissive questioning & at times rude attitude. #No2SelfID
When I 1st trained in safeguarding it was a real eye opener 2learn how predators operate.
An example used was a dude with a dog who had his eye on a child. He learned where she lived & the route she took to & from school.
He’d walk his dog in the opposite direction to meet her.
Over a period of weeks of him saying hello, the girl stopped to pet the dog. One day he offered to buy her sweets at the local shop.
He asked her what sweets her parents didn’t allow, she answered chewing gum. He bought her chewing gum.
This continued for a few more weeks & daily he’d give her chewing gum.
Then the abuse started as his grooming had been successful.
The girl couldn’t tell her parents because she was afraid they’d be angry at her having chewing gum. This act broke that trust between child/parent.
My life evolved around party campaigns, events, fundraising, etc. Like many others, I believed the SNP could & would be better. I was wrong & yes they let many of us down so don’t dare tell me to wheesht for Indy cause the whole time the govt insults women we will not secure Indy
Most folk want intelligent based, fair policies that address many of society’s ills. We want open & honest debate & need to trust our govt to make the difficult decisions, not abrogate their responsibilities to lobby groups.
What have we got?
We have elected officials sneering at us, dismissing our concerns as ‘not valid’, calling the electorate ‘trash, neds & bigots’. We have senior party members smearing women who object with the intent to destroy them.
