🧵Delighted to be nominated for Best Scot at Westminster alongside @StewartMcDonald & @wendychambLD. I hope this will encourage other women to speak up safe in the knowledge that cancellation doesn’t necessarily work. 1/3

Here’s what the judges said “Joanna Cherry KC, convener of the human rights committee that draws its members from both the Commons and the Lords, is nominated for Best Scot at Westminster. The SNP MP has continued to raise concerns about gender reform.. 2/3
despite hostility in her party and online, while her legal tactics on Indyref2 were adopted by the First Minister.” A big thank you to the judges & everyone who has supported me through a difficult but ultimately rewarding time in politics. #WomenWontWheesht

🧵 I’m at the Supreme Court today for #Indyref2 case. If the UK Govt had any respect at all for Scottish democracy, this court hearing wouldn’t be necessary.
At the 2021 scottish election the scot gov was elected on a manifesto commitment to hold a second indyref. Last time that happened 10 years ago in 2011 the UK govt respected that mandate & entered into an agreement to put beyond doubt the legality of indyref
That’s the established constitutional precedent of the right thing to do in these circumstances. That’s what they shd do now. That they won’t = denial of democracy and its unconstitutional.

🧵Yesterday another man appeared in court charged with threatening me on account of my belief that #SexMatters. I want to be very clear that every time someone in a position of power wrongly describes feminists or LGB people like me as transphobic simply 1/4
because we don’t share their belief in gender identity theory they risk inciting the sort of abuse & threats that I and others suffer from self styled “Trans rights activists” who in truth are nothing of the sort. 2/4
Instead, they are just good old fashioned misogynists & lesbophobes who are being encouraged & enabled by those who ought to know better. I don’t think enough attention is being paid to this problem. It needs to be called out by 3/4

This article was briefly amended to include @ALLIANCELGB side of the story but I can’t see it any more. Some might say that such hysterical anger at LGB people organising to protect their right to be same sex attracted is the very definition of #homophobia
Here’s what @ALLIANCELGB said “LGB Alliance is a registered charity whose goals are to promote equality and human rights for LGB people. All the publicly funded LGBTQIA+ groups now focus on the importance of gender identity,
saying that feelings of gender identity should supersede anything to do with biological sex. That is why we need our own organisation and services. LGB Alliance receives messages from young LGB people

🧵It’s #EuropeDay2022. As an @theSNP MP I lead the fight against the damaging #Brexit which Scottish voters had rejected & I am committed to delivering an #independent #Scotland which will rejoin the #EU. Here’s 10 reasons why. Copyright @Dr_PhilippaW
1. SOLIDARITY WITH A GLOBAL A-TEAM. The threats facing us are global. The EU leads progressive global action to solve shared challenges. An independent Scotland in the EU would be far stronger than post-Brexit UK scrambling for bilateral agreements.
2. EQUALITY WITH ALL EU STATES Brexit has left the UK more isolated than ever. An independent Scotland would be equal in the EU & seek to be a progressive voice & role model within the EU and internationally promoting greater consensus, equality, and respect.

🧵 Very disappointed not to get called to speak in the #OnlineSafetyBill debate this evening particularly as unsubstantiated allegations of transphobia were being bandied about. Here’s what I was planning to say
There is much to welcome in the Bill particularly in relation to tackling Child Sexual and Emotional Abuse online. As a former Specialist Sex Crimes prosecutor I am all too aware of how children are targeted online.
Sadly there are those in our society, often hiding in plain sight, who seek to exploit children and so child safeguarding should be a number one priority for any government. In so far as this bill seeks to do that I applaud it.

🧵In the past week both Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie have displayed an extraordinary insouciance towards human rights and equality law by seeking to brand women who question legislative proposals based on gender identity theory heraldscotland.com/politics/20068…
as “transphobes”” & akin to “racists” and “anti-Semites”. Ms Slater wants us banned from the airwaves & Mr Harvie wants us disciplined by our political parties. They really need to acquaint themselves with Articles 9 & 10 ECHR which protect freedom of belief
& freedom of speech in this country. They could also do with reading & understanding the Equality Act & the decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in case of Maya Forstater v CGD Europe which established that discrimination, harassment, and victimisation
