Interesting 'nom binary' athlete on @BBCJohnBeattie #Newsdrive tonight. Despite knowing what the rules were before entering it still wasn't enough. Expecting people to comply. Then when they comply they have to comp!y some more. A pity the journal didn't ask how they would feel
about a non binary class being inequitable in any case as it would be mixed sex. It's already been proven that non binary men already use some advantage in qualifying for marathons with women's times. That'll be the next thing women will have to fight. And btw lgb competitors
compete in either the male or female class. Stop dragging them into it.
Apologies for typos.....
@BBCJohnBeattie might want to consider having a slot on Section 195 of the Equality Act in relation to sports segregated by sex. @scotathletics need to keep this in mind as well when making policy. UK Athletics recent advice on this has been inaccurate and have failed to correct

When women had evidence to support their arguments against the GRR Bill Scotgov rejected it on the basis of being "anecdotal." When trans activists and #Scotgov funded groups had evidence to support their arguments it was valid because it was "lived experience." Someone laughed
at Russell Findlay MSP for saying "there was no evidence there was no evidence" that self-id could present a risk to women. Of course what he meant was absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The fact most of the countries cited by Scotgov as having had problem free self-
id laws have not kept data or information on any possible impacts. Ignoring also that many women will not report and women in prison, refuges etc will be reluctant to report. We know there have been impacts. No, this is a deliberate act on the part of our democratically

Pretty devastating how this campaign has become unrecognisable in the last 30 years. #zerotolerance #scotgov

But unsurprising when you see their position statements @ForWomenScot @JennyMarra @K_IngalaSmith @ShonaghDillon zerotolerance.org.uk/vaw-position-s…
And specifically their blog. zerotolerance.org.uk/news/blog/viol…

"Petition lodged at WM by Sex Matters asks UK Gov to modify the Equality Act 2010 to put it beyond doubt that the terms “sex”, “male”, “female”, “man” and “woman” in equality law mean biological sex and not “sex as modified by a GRC." It would also legalfeminist.org.uk/2022/11/27/new…
hopefully make it illegal for #Scotgov to make funding applications by single sex services have a trans inclusive policy as a pre-condition. #Scotgov take the stance that these orgs choose to provide services based on self-id which is just a lie. They've gradually had to
"choose it" to ensure their funding continues. So we now have what once were single sex services that are not. This could be challenged now without any change to the #EqA but the dubiety about who is entitled to be seen as a woman in terms of the Act is all over the place.

I was in @marksandspencer on Sunday. Mainly the food bit, but had a wander on other floors. It was dead. Terrible, terrible shop. The men's section is like something out of a gents outfitters circa 1950 and not even as nice. The women's section I could hardly be bothered looking.
I didn't notice if the changing rooms were mixed. Even the skin care and make up range only had Black Friday deals on stuff you wouldn't pay a pound for. At one point I actually thought I'd walked into a shop accidentally after hours! So, what has this got to do with the picture
you might ask? Well, the changing room thing is just indicative of the fact this famous store stopped listening to women a long time ago. There's probably many reasons why the stores are empty but women are their key demographic. Even the young person on the check out, when asked

We were having a discussion in our group this week about women whom we knew would've been standing shoulder to shoulder with us only a few years ago on all matters women and feminism but now are fierce defenders of gender ideology and fierce critics of us. How could this have
happened? And I'm not talking about women who want tg people to be treated fairly but still want women's sex-based rights. They absolutely are bought and sold on twaw and they say they are the same as us. So we have been thinking about a bit more these last few days. Firstly, we
think some women are so invested in getting male approval they will sacrifice other women and children to gain it. It is, we think in part, an unconscious seeking of male approval. Our female MSPs are a case in point. Secondly, some women seeing this as a way of getting away from
