In Scotland, we have an 11yr old girl, repeatedly told by School & society that TWAW and no danger, who went into a car with an evil man as she’d been taught to trust him.

Over a 24hr period he repeatedly attacked and sexually assaulted her. As me and many, many others have warned over the past years, bad law and bad policy creates loopholes that will be exploited by evil people.
The most damaging example is the Catholic Church and pedophiles training as Priests to get access to little children.

@NicolaSturgeon At every opportunity, over the 4 years I've been watching this issue, you have refused to acknowledge that Men might lie about being Trans.
You now personally feel under scrutiny and worry your power is being threatened. It's disgusting. @ForWomenScot You whipped your party to pass the GRR bill. You voted down every single damn amendment that would have stopped rapists, convicted sex offenders and convicts using Trans status to evade police by changing their identity, or using a GRC to access victims. You did that. You.

The tragedy of AIDS/HIV; it killed huge swathes of Gay & Bi men who grew up *just* as homophobia was lessening.
They would have been amazing mentors and teachers of truth & history to the #LGB now vulnerable to gender ideology and the Queer lies & poisoning of our history. Every time I see a trans activist lie that Trans people were integral to gay equality and liberation ... Every time I see people try to define homosexuality as same gender attraction ... every time I see the lie that you are bigoted for not dating transwomen I seeth with rage

@Sarah_Alice_X Let me explain in my terms.
We Gay men, Lesbians and Bisexuals campaigned for equality when you could be fired for being gay, evicted for being gay, shunned by your family for being gay, assaulted or murdered for being gay & very few people gave a fuck 1/ All we wanted was equal rights: employment protection, housing safety, to be able to walk down the street without being attacked, ability to marry who we love and simple respect from wider society. We gained that for the whole #LGBT community be peaceful campaigning 2/

When I joined the fight against gender ideology a couple of years ago, in reaction to my Mother and Sisters being scared of @scotgov proposed gender reforms, I was a bit of a naive idiot.
Well meaning, but largely ignorant of the ongoing struggles of women and their history. But leaning on my Scientific training, I pushed my ego to the side and saught out knowledge. I read up, asked questions and am grateful to have learned from a huge community of women on here about their lives, challenges, fears, concerns and victories.

Thoughts on Alex Salmond trial:

It should be taken as said, that rape and sexual abuse are horrible, evil, crimes. (I know from personal experience.)

Reporting of rape is too low. Prosecution of rape is probably too low.
As a society we need to support Women better. 1/16 That said, it’s a well established tactic to smear your opponents and accusing them of socially unacceptable crimes is the most effective.
If Mr Salmond was accused of a history of recreational shoplifting it wouldn’t have had quite the same perilous impact. 2/16

There's a lesson in the fall of @UKLabour.
The party membership was swelled massively a few years back by influx of younger members revulsed by the Tories ... And after the fluke election of Corbyn, Momentum was formed.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum_… They are a very effective campaigning and lobbying group, who are more than prepared to get stuck in and get their hands dirty to get results.
They've forced constituency votes to get rid of Labour MPs and candidates they didn't approve of, influenced change of policy ...

Public Service Announcement, short thread.

@WingsScotland has been in existence for, I think, 8 years and has relentlessly pursued investigative journalism to support the Independence cause.

Stu did all if this online to organise and inform people when few else were. Wings now has a monthly readership well above 1/4 mil. people and is part of the Scottish public consciousness.
For this he draws only the equivalent of minimum wage, the bulk of fundraising activities go on publications, research and site running costs.

Short thread.
I got involved in the Trans People & Women’s’ Rights debate after a casual Q to my sister one weekend.

It was a family gathering and I asked how they felt about GRA reforms.

It turned into an eye opener on Women’s concerns, how common abuse is & living fearful. It was epiphany. I thought I knew bits of it, I thought I was well informed, I’ve experienced sexual abuse myself, but don’t live in daily fear.

I don’t have to suspect every male stranger as a potential abuser. I don’t plan routes to avoid danger. Go read my pinned tweet ...
