A 🧵
In light of recent negative coverage of Scotland’s public sector DEI policies, one would think it might be rethinking its stance. Far from it - and @NHSHighland is not the only one doubling down; Cairngorms National Park Authority @cairngormsnews appears to be vying with them for the prize for the most unlawful policies.

CNPA’s Board meets tomorrow to ‘note’ its Public Sector Equality Duty Report shorturl.at/2tv9n, which has some great content, but it links to the organisation’s 16 page ‘Gender Diversity Policy’ shorturl.at/Y5FsT
We assume that this policy was created as part of achieving LGBTYS’ ‘LGBT Charter’ Foundation level. Much of it is total nonsense, but some parts are more serious, i.e. misrepresenting the EA2010, allowing self ID, allowing men to use the female toilets and facilities (obviously never heard of the 1992 Workplace Regulations).

It insists that ‘managers are responsible for applying the policy and ensuring that it is followed’ and that ‘HR is responsible for 'promoting the policy's use with training and guidance and ensuring that appropriate action is taken when the policy is not followed'.
Extremely worrying is that employees could be sanctioned for refusing to use an individual’s chosen pronouns, joking about ‘someone’s gender identity, or transgender people generally’ or ‘Expressing beliefs (e.g. religious, gender ideology or gender critical beliefs) in a fashion
that may be reasonably perceived by others as being offensive and disrespectful’.

The meeting will be streamed on @cairngormsnews youTube from 10am tomorrow, if anyone wishes to see how the Board responds to this policy. If you would like to let the Board know what you think, they are listed here shorturl.at/eElSr

🧵We welcome the announcement that @SandyfordNHSGGC will no longer prescribe puberty blockers for new patients.

We have a question about this
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
We did a FOI in Nov 2023 of @SandyfordNHSGGC Which is at odds with their statement today asked about prescribing
They "assess and diagnose gender incongruence They are not the main prescribers of gender affirming hormone treatment"
We don't generate prescriptions in our system" Image
How can you stop something you are not doing?
So who are the main prescribers and where is their statement?

Thread 🧵

We welcome the final report of the Cass Review and are pleased that children and young people in England will be protected to a large extent from the dangers of gender ideology & gender affirming care
cass.independent-review.uk/home/publicati…
Here is a summary of the key findings ⬇️
thetimes.co.uk/article/cb8e1b…
The CASS Review is very clear that children should not be rushed onto a medical pathway & a holistic evidence based approach to their needs including mental health needs is required Children who think they are trans have a range of issues which affects their mental health

A thread🧵
In August 21 our member @MaryHowden before she joined WRN SCOTLAND coordinated a letter signed by 310 people to complain about the CEO Mridul Whadwa The letter was sent to the Chief Executive of Rape Crisis Sandy Brindley & the Trustees of Edinburgh Rape crisis Centre
Mridul Whadwa had said in a podcast
'But I think the other thing is that sexual violence happens to bigoted people as well bigots" .....

"But if you have to reframe your trauma, I think it is important as part of that reframing, having a more positive relationship with it"
Mridul Whadwa is a man who identifies as a woman & ERCC accept men can be women.

The complaint stated his comments were

Unprofessional

Contrary to ERCC core standards

Contrary to a Trauma Informed approach which this Rape Crisis services purportedly worked to

🧵Reflection on #ElectHer event @ScotParl yesterday. The principles around supporting women into politics are great We support that 💯% we need more women in parliament. But ElectHer isn't just focusing on women it also includes men who identify as women
There were men there yesterday using our words, our toilets, feeding back in groups for us, promoted in videos & using resources that should only be for women
Many women who hold gender critical beliefs which are enshrined in law (Forstater) and worthy of respect in a democratic society were ignored through out the event Women were expected to accept these men as women and nothing was said about it
