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/
thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-…
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/
thecritic.co.uk/reframe-your-t…
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/
heraldscotland.com/politics/19511…
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.
forwomen.scot/08/10/2022/gen…
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.
#WomenWontWheesht
Thanks to @Ayrshirelass13 for that gem. ❤️

Oh we know that the rewriting of Surgeon's history is underway for her memoirs but really, such blatant lies? The 'feminist to her fingertips' is the queen of self-delusion. On Sunday it will be 2 years to the day that her beloved Gender Recognition 1/

Reform Bill passed & she claims there was no "massive public opposition". Yeah, because ignorance of this blasted legislation (now blocked) explains how it got so far, along with an appalling lack of scrutiny. We know because for 18 months before the Bill hit Holyrood we had 2/ Image
stalls on Scottish streets and the public had no idea that @scotgov were bringing in legislation to allow any male over 16 to acquire a certificate to say he was a female, ANY male. There can't be opposition if no-one knows how batshit your plans are. And the inevitable claim 3/ Image

"Children distressed about their gender are pushed onto the Sandyford clinic in Glasgow because the rest of the health service finds their care too hard to handle, a leading NHS manager said" 1/
thetimes.com/article/380670…
Rhoda MacLeod, head of adult services for the Sandyford sexual health clinic, told MSPs that as soon as a child began questioning their gender “everybody goes, ‘Oh, I can’t deal with this. They need to go to the gender service’”.
She described the care of such young patients being dumped on the “too-hard-to-deal-with pile”. MacLeod noted other Scottish health boards had not taken steps to open their own clinics for children with gender issues adding it is “plainly obvious, why not”.

Sandy Brindley's the CEO of Rape Crisis Scotland & on GMS today she said agreed that a female survivor asking for support by rape crisis should be able to specifiy she gets female support (at 2 hours 17mins) & said this was the case across all centres 1/
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Which may come as a surprise to women paying attention to what has been going on in Scotland in relation to gender identity and what appears to be a blind acceptance in @scotgov-funded charities that if a male calls himself a woman he must be treated as a woman 2/
Sandy's been at the forefront of this push &, even if her hands are technically clean of the decision to recruit a male as CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis (a male that counsels female survivors & doesn't tell them he's male), we know that the ideology of "Transwomen are women" 2/

2nd article in days about LGBT Youth Scotland in Scottish schools. You need to be asking who is wielding influence in *your* child's school. "My daughter was ‘radicalised’ by Scottish LGBT club in school" 1/

Mother forced to pull child out of state school after uncovering ‘cult-like’ materials shared between members.
Holly* was drawn to her local school’s LGBT “allies” club by her fascination with flags.
When she began attending classes in March 2021, after her school in East Lothian, reopened from lockdown, she found noticeboards and classrooms plastered with Pride and trans colours. Teachers even displayed their pronouns on rainbow-coloured signs on their classroom doors.

Is there any other lobbying group in Scotland allowed such easy access to our children, schools & curriculum as LGBT Youth Scotland (& TIE), to imprint their ideology on prepubescent minds. If you're not furious, you don't understand what's happening 1/
telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…
Scottish primary schools are appointing children as “LGBT champions” and are being urged to ask pupils as young as four if they are gay, lesbian or trans, The Telegraph can reveal. 2/
Documents show that schools are setting up LGBT clubs and “gender and sexual orientation alliance groups” for pupils as part of their membership of a scheme run by the charity LGBT Youth Scotland.

Today we, & a group of other supporters from far flung places such as Shropshire & Ayr, witnessed @iwontwheesht read a list of factual statements such as humans are unable to change sex & that women don't have penises (unless they've acquired them through nefarious means) 1/
Such is legislation in Scotland 2024, this is a brave act from a women wishing to assert her right to speak factually of issues which affect our rights to discuss our safety, privacy & dignity. We must be able to speak of sex & risks posed by males #HumzasHateCrime 2/
We, & she, have no idea if this video will be reported to @police_scotland as a "stirring up" #HateCrime. In the meantime, we hope you all take the opportunity to speak factually & not be silenced by this misjudged law. We cannot allow women's rights to be undermined 💚🤍💜 3/
