8.25am today Nicola Sturgeon told Radio 4 that as long as a man "lives as a woman" for 3 months he can acquire a certificate that says he's now a woman. Trouble is no-one knows what "living as a woman means" which means proving attempts are for nefarious reasons is impossible 1/

Our "feminist to her fingertips" FM also seems to believe that males are the risk to females but when a male acquires a magical certificate the risk goes away. Sticking the word "trans" in front of someone's sex seems to perform a biological miracle & no-one must question it. 2/

This is why women gathered in their hundreds outside Holyrood yesterday @scotgovfm. You are putting women at risk, lying to them about the consequences of your Gender Recognition Reform Bill. You, Madam, are a Non-Feminist

To round up her gaslighting, Sturgeon said that "feminists, real feminists" should be focused on other topics, like men's abuse of women & potential removal of access to abortion care. This statement suggests she believes that Scottish women fighting for their rights are not 4/

"Real feminists" (which is not something we'd expect to hear one feminist say to another), that she has no idea that we are already concerned about our right to abortion care (without distressing protests and accusation of murder) but also that she has no comprehension that 5/

the Bill she is endorsing puts women in an unfair position regarding sports & equal pay but also that males *will* abuse this dumbed-down process to access female spaces, such as female prisons & rape crisis centres BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT IN SCOTLAND UNDER HER WATCH 6/

So who exactly is the "real feminist" here Sturgeon? It certainly is not you @scotgovfm
