Q. for @LucyHunterB are the government holding off strengthening the equality act because of S35.

I think people invest too much in the government having a strategic approach. #FVFWomensFestival
@LucyHunterB I don't think there was a great strategic plan, I don't think they want to amend the equality act. The EHRC have said where we are is fine, small numbers. #FVFWomensFestival
They came in behind scotgov to argue that GRC legal sex would superceded biological, before the Scot GRC change #FVFWomensFestival
Dots are not being joined in the way we would want to #FVFWomensFestival

Does a vibrator count as pelvic exercise? @GussieGrips Do orgasms help your pelvic floor. THEY HELP MORE THAN YOUR PELVIC FLOOR. You need cheering up. #FVFWomensFestival
@GussieGrips No science to back it up for sure. But sports science principles? Doing something better than nothing! Do a single person study and see how you crack on #FVFWomensFestival
@GussieGrips If we want boys who grow up not to be "accidentally abusive because they go their sex-ed from porn then maybe we should be teaching them about female pleasure and vibrators. #FVFWomensFestival

With the conversion bill there will be casualties @MagiGibson. Have to try and get more input to it. As a former teacher and as a parent I took my duties very seriously & so did the Scot education system #FVFWomensFestival
@MagiGibson Scot Education system has slipped. You need to have a say, a full say on what happens to your child. Parents in England are taking children out of the schools they're in so the schools won't damage them #FVFWomensFestival
And @GussieGrips is now saying that we already have casualties - child detransitioners. MSPs were in tears listening to their stories.

Q. for Susan Smith @ForWomenScot. Is the press complicit? the Scotsman defamed JK Rowling. This week NS finally asked the tough questions and flip-flopped. #FVFWomensFestival
@ForWomenScot Once you get down to basics its indefensible. Some print media has been good but very little forensic examination on the TV and a lot of people get their news from TV #FVFWomensFestival
@ForWomenScot One of the things about the Tavistock was that it appeared on Newsnight, and then you see it enter into the national consciousness #FVFWomensFestival

Is repealing the GRA the only way to stop this @marstrina No. Men have been trying to simulate women for a very long time, you won't end that. #FVFWomensFestival
@marstrina To overturn a law has to sue. GRA: would be very difficult to conceive of a test case. It was brought in by a fudge. It was to prevent issues with marriage, which is technically made redundant by marriage equality but 20 years is a lot of water under the bridge #FVFWomensFestival
@marstrina Now @PankhurstEM says we absolutely must overturn the GRA. Service providers are terrified that they cannot turn away men because of the GRA. Also, it's a pointless piece of legislation because we will hit back with the Equality act etc. #FVFWomensFestival

Q for @MagiGibson and @Gillian_Philip are you aware pre-school books are pushing GI?

Magi. Yes, I find this very troubling. Should be about incl. but don't need to intro children to these notions. Why are we talking to children about these notions? #FVFWomensFestival
@MagiGibson @Gillian_Philip Children can grow up and play with their pals without us getting at them with all this stuff.

#FVFWomensFestival
@MagiGibson @Gillian_Philip @Gillian_Philip Agreee with Magi, children's books should represent the variety of human experience. But this is a confusing thing for a kid to be told that you can change sex. #FVFWomensFestival

Final speaker today is @GussieGrips on "how I was radicalised by Nicola sturgeon" #FVFWomensFestival
@GussieGrips I peaked a long time ago I work in women health and I have been exposed to medical misogyny for 30 years. They've been trying to do something about it but it's been 2000 years and it takes a while #FVFWomensFestival
@GussieGrips I'd give my opinion, and they listened and nothing changed. I'd speak to MSPs, I'd speak to the HoLs but last year Shona R said no man would ever pretend to be someone else to do harm to women #FVFWomensFestival
