Imagine Scotland had a high bar to define a thing, say haggis, but England decided to redefine haggis to be anything that identified as haggis (like pasties) but demanded to be allowed into Scotland & for pasties to be labelled haggis, @scottishgreens would be annoyed, right? 1/
Well @MaggieChapman is getting annoyed that @ScottishGreens & @SP_EHRCJ (Maggie is Deputy Convener) want to drop the bar so anyone can be legally defined as female, a level much lower than the rest of the UK, Westminster have noticed & said "wait one cotton picking minute". 2/ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So we have Maggie ranting about rights of pasties while screwing over the native haggises. Maggie's joined by big pastie fans @stonewalluk, claiming some imaginary overwhelming pastie mandate (well of course pasties will be happy, but anyone asked haggises how they feel?)
No! We, sorry, the haggises are not happy, not happy at all. Nor are the women @MaggieChapman @Cmacf76. In fact the majority of Scots reject your attempt to allow anyone to legally be called female. #NoToSelfID
If you feel the same way and want to tell all Scottish MSPs you opinion on whether @MaggieChapman gets to allow anyone to legally call themselves female, without any safeguarding, them come along on Wed 21st. Get ready to shout #NoToSelfID. #MacGRC
This fight over women's rights is not going to end on 21st Dec, of course. So if you want to get involved, please get in touch. We've over 20 regional SFN groups across Scotland & can put you in touch with one in your area. DM us your location. 💪

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/

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/
