Feminism, Scottish Independence, Celtic FC. The freedom to say that 2+2=4, that there is no Old Firm, and that humans can't change sex.

It’s worth looking at this document that some prominent Scottish national and local government figures are claiming offers clear guidelines on what is transphobic and will allow civil discussion if we all sign up to it
transactual.org.uk/transphobia Under point a) you can’t even *ask* for single sex services of any kind, based on sex not gender, because that’s transphobic.

Thread about the Scottish Trans Alliance,which seems to pop up in every trans-rights media story, which seems to have influence throughout the UK regarding trans issues. STA is listed in the ScotGov Equalities funding page as an ‘intermediary body’; these ‘play an important role in the policymaking process’. But it isn’t a body at all: it has no corporate or legal existence. STA as such does not exist.

So last night the group Engender used some very intemperate language about women who want to remind politicians about our existing rights and maybe have a meeting about it.’ It made me wonder what/ who Engender is so I had a look at their filed reports and accounts. Thread: There’s nothing illegal, immoral, nefarious or shocking to be found here so don’t get too excited. Nor is there a thrilling detective story; it’s all public info at Companies House and their website.
‘Engender is Scotland’s feminist organisation’. That's bold.
