It was not a pleasure to be in Holyrood yesterday, watching the death throes of the #GRRBill and displays of incompetence, delusion and dishonesty from elected representatives - but there were flashes of brilliance. Thank you, #WomenDidnaeWheesht. What a difference a year makes Thank you, @mbmpolicy, @ForWomenScot, @Scot_Feminists, @WRNScotland and *all* the people who wrote, petitioned, funded, organised, turned up, spoke and refused to accept bad legislation. It has been sent away, like a hyperbolic baddie in a low budget pantomime.

I keep thinking that there is hope that my government will listen to women’s concerns about gender reform. I sat in the committee room while my Cabinet Secretary did her admin (drawing squares round her notes, and underlining text which was already highlighted) instead of > attending to the submissions of her colleagues. I cannot bear the contempt that @scotgov is demonstrating towards this act. I could not tolerate the rude display and asked @JoeFitzSNP if he could encourage @ShonaRobison to heed the important points and democratic process>

Those looking for the paper about harm done to women because if the loss of sex based language in health and maternity services - here you go: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… And here is the lead author, @DrKarleenG, speaking about it @VoteWithOurFeet

Interesting. “Threat” is the exact word used to describe me by people who knew me and had not taken the time to see my show at the fringe. This is not an easy video, @SVPhillimore and @andrewdoyle_com have both been through the sex/gender mill. > It is striking that the language and process that I experienced in the last few weeks is exactly the same as @SVPhillimore describes. Mine was not in the glorious technicolour that these people have experienced, and I’m glad of that >

There are still some tickets for the last show tonight. 7:15pm, Gilded Balloon Patterhoose, chambers st. Link below. tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/viva-…

It would be fine to have a male@person in this role if we had addressed the health issues which surround menstruation. Women usually suffer for about a decade before being diagnosed with endometriosis and then there is a bit of a “nae luck” outcome as the treatment is not great

So, it’s quite hard to accept that my government, who say they want to establish Scotland as global leaders in womens health, have appointed a male person who has no background in womens health or womens issues to sort out the taboos and stigma which surround our female functions
