1. Despite the best efforts of police & social workers, predators, including those on the sex offenders register, always manage to find & target the most vulnerable. That's no dog whistle; it's recognition that predators take advantage of loopholes.
2. All those who are vulnerable deserve the best protection our laws and lawmakers can give; an open door with no checks, balances or safeguards is not it.
3.Plainly, the GRRB extends beyond measure the potential for applications simply because it removes a medical requirement; every adult in Scotland will be able to apply for a GRC. Of course most people won't be so motivated, but there will be bad faith actors - that's life.
4. For now, the SG says, as does GRA 2004, that a GRC alters sex for all purposes. If there are to be exceptions, for the sake of single sex spaces and rights, it is incumbent upon Scotland's gov't to say so.
5. 18 months ago I listened to a terrified mother who feared then, as she does now, that when she is gone her disabled daughter will be vulnerable to male predation if she can't be guaranteed female same sex care. This is not the Scotland any of us seeks.
6. The gallery of the Parliament I have argued for my whole life is cleared because women who fear for their rights and the safety, dignity, protection of their daughters have objected to being sidelined, silenced and ridiculed.
7. I've written multiple items in praise of @TheSNP and tonight as a one legged woman I fear what I brought down upon myself. The promise of the single sex ward is remote and my self exclusion very near.
@theSNP 8. Trans identifying males are a subset of men;this ought not to be a concern of women who for reasons of belief,for dignity, safety, security, confidence, need & deserve single sex spaces. Those politicians who say that little admin tweaks don't affect such need a reality check.
9. Haud yer wheeesht, wifies. Or maybe not. #WomenWontWheesht.
10. This is a diversion from the one single issue Scotland needs decided; #ScottishIndependence. Keep friends close etc.
11. @ShonaRobison I've got to the end of the line. You were elected to achieve #ScottishIndependence. Your pontifications on law are embarrassing, flawed and I fear disingenuous. Scotland deserves far better. Scotland's women fear your conduct and I will not put my name to that.
12. We were going to peeble you wi stanes; we didn't believe we'd have to do so with a party elected to secure our #ScottishIndependence; consider yourselves peeled and dismissed.
12. God Almighty - women currently have a right to single sex spaces - guarantee that means biological sex or confirm you surrendered it.
13. Life is too short. #ScottishIndependence via the quickest route is what we want.
13. Laywer here; wondering the definition of gender identity. I need to know, so do those swearing an oath which I witness. I will wait.
14. How many times? Is there a clue?
@ShonaRobison you've spun some tale; guidance is not legislation; you've left good people spinning in the wind.

2. We remember the fight for women's rights. We know about the campaign to ensure that marital rape became criminal - only in 1989 was this achieved.
3. We know too of the Matrimonial Homes(Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981 when for the first time women had the right to seek a safe home, exclude a violent partner and gain a transfer of tenancy.

I am not a politician first or foremost, but a mother, daughter,partner,neighbour,lawyer. In each of these roles trust, honesty and respect are required. If I pretend to be someone or to want something which is false and am thereby outed as dishonest I expect to lose that trust.
In fact my dishonesty deserves that loss. So if as an amateur politician, scunnered with the professionals and their approach, I nod and smile to those of a different Independence supporting party, I expect a nod, an acknowledgement, maybe even a daft wee smile.
It wasn't expected that other Independence supporting real politicians from other parties would blank me in Arbroath last weekend; a one legged woman immortal, bionic and who can shout, isn't invisible, no matter how much certain males may hope so.

A justice minister promoting policies to assist women and children is posturing - he knows his local court ‘functions’ remotely and his local Childrens Panel doesn’t clap eyes on the children it considers because business is conducted by Teams video with limited connectivity
And many who have to participate in these hearings have neither the equipment nor funds so to do
Others need legal advice and can’t get it because lawyers don’t get paid enough on legal aid to make that work profitable
