Thread by @Scot_Feminists

Last night we shared our thoughts on an "article" (attempted hit job) for @opendemocracy scribbled by @AdamRamsay. Written following a lobbyists playbook on how to slip legislation in under the radar. And tonight? Well tonight it seems we need to look towards @scottishgreens 1/

Let's consider the people inolved/quoted in the article:
Author, Adam Ramsay, member of Scottish Greens ✔️ 2/

Maggie Chapman, Green MSP, quoted, was Secretary of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre when Mridul Wadwha was appointed, using a Sch 9 exception that specified the role was for a female (considering the nature of work). As you can see above, Maggie is godparent to Adam's child. ✔️3/

Mridul Wadwha is a biological male who has no UK paperwork that changes any aspect of his legal sex. They stood as a SNP candidate (all "woman" shortlist 👀) failed. Mridul applied to Forth Valley Rape Crisis for a job. Forgot to mention they were male 4/

Mridul ticked boxes for woke SNP glitterati so promotion was inevitable, to Edinburgh Rape Crisis CEO, despite it being specifically advertised for a female. Women don't care less about MW's gender identity, they hate being gaslit though. 5/

While that's bad enough (& fact ERCC will not provide a female-only service on any day to mainly female trauma victims) Mridul needed to lecture women on the "bigoted" view they need a male-free space to recover, telling them to "reframe their trauma" 6/

Anyway, Mridul didn't succeed in their goal of becoming a SNP candidate, so left for the Greens where they were welcomed with open arms, and defended by her ex deputy at ERCC, Maggie ✔️ 7/

Then we come to Beth Douglas, co-covenor of Scotland's Rainbow Greens (not mentioned in the article). Beth is a tran-identifying male that uses the same abusive terminology as the Denton Report to refer to women that refuse to stop saying no. ✔️ 8/

So, it looks very much to us that this article is not just based in misogyny & absence of facts (like Edinburgh Rape Crisis not closing, women have not threatened anyone) but @scottishgreens also have their fingers in the Denton pie. Really not a good look, is it @SP_EHRCJ? 9/

There will be a vote of all Scottish MSPs on Oct 27th, to decide of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill will proceed to Stage 2. It feels very much like Scottish Greens are trying to influence the vote in advance using @openDemocracy to do their dirty work.

Are you all that easily led? And @ScottishLabour @scotlibdems @theSNP ? Your constituents deserve evidence-based decision making, not misogynistic smearing of women.
We are watching.

Thanks to @Ayrshirelass13 for that gem. ❤️
