🧵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"

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

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"

🧵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

Yesterday we sent a letter to @CareInspect about Guidance on the inclusion of transgender including non-binary young people

We identified the following
1. Concerns about LGBT Youth Scotland
2 Lack of Safeguarding
3 Breaches of the Health & Social Care Standards

A 🧵We were asked yesterday by a journalist what WRN Scotland had done to campaign against the #GRR Bill here's our list
💚written letters to MSPs &MPs as constituents
🤍Had meetings with MSPs and MPs
💜 provided written feedback to the #GRR bill consultation
#NoToSelfID 💚Attended rallys organised by @ForWomenScot at Holyrood
🤍Fundraised through the WRN to have an advan with the message #NoMenInWomensSpaces
💜Organised for the ad van to drive round Edinburgh at the Rally in Oct
#NoMenInWomensSpaces
Thanks to @moleatthedoor for his help

A 🧵on why #NoToSelfID is still important On 27 October @scotgov voted for the 1st stage of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill #GRR the vote passed 🗳For 88
🗳Against 33
🗳Abstained 4
🗳No vote 4
#NoToSelfID
#NoMeninWomensSpaces Scottish Labour Party @ScottishLabour
voted For the #GRR but they recognise the bill needs ammendments & gave a commitment to "seek to amend the bill at stage 2 to respect the primacy of the Equality Act 2010 and to have that placed on the face of the bill".
#NoToSelfID

A 🧵on why #NoToSelfID is important right now. On 27 October @scotgov will vote to reform the Gender Recognition Act #GRA If the vote goes through this removes the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria & people can self declare the gender they wish to live as /1 @scotgov and @ShonaRobison have told us that no man would declare himself to be something he isn't to access vulnerable women & children. We know this is not true. There are numerous examples where this had happened.
