The brilliant @TwisterFilm on hate crime. https://t.co/oExZ7z...
RT @murdo_fraser: The SNP Hate Crime Bill is an attack on free speech โ it must be opposed https://t.co/VnZg4L...
RT @lazyjoolz: Thank you @LucyHunterB and @ForwomenScot Susan for to tonight's discussion on Hate Crime Bill on YouTube. And to @_freetodisagree for chairing/hoisting. Good t get the discussion out there.
RT @rogdmum: Following the schoolโs refusal to answer our questions, my son emailed them requesting that they provide the information about how he was handled by the school. The Year Head had pulled him into a meeting unbeknownst to us and told that ...
RT @_freetodisagree: Our discussion is now live! Still time to sneak in at the back... @ForwomenScot @mbmpolicy https://t.co/0it5R6...
RT @libby_brooks: 1/3 So very, very sorry to hear Shere Hite had died. She was a sexual revolutionary, a research pioneer, and utterly unapologetic about who she was. She was also, in my experience, incredibly generous to other women...
RT @therestofus5: I suspect Semenya isn't actually the focus of their concern. Black women aren't either, they're just kind of useful when you want to suggest they are masculine to try and make a point for your cause. And their cause is people like ...
15 minute klaxon! https://t.co/ajEizB...
RT @LabWomenDec: Got 5 mins? Listen to @scottishlabour's @JohannLamont in opposition to deeply flawed Hate Crime Bill (which excludes misogyny!) "There is no shame in getting a proposal wrong but there is shame in digging in" "Being lectured by a man ...
Prostitution is violence against women. We hope @scotgov & the Scottish women's sector will maintain firm in this stance. We were delighted that @RBFMaguire in her role as EHR committee invited @bindelj last year to talk about her findings. ...
RT @ClaireShrugged: .@netflix please explain why you are platforming content that sexualises 11 year old children. By showing little girls perform sexualised dance moves in revealing costumes, you are reducing them to sex objects and mainstreaming ...
This is our kind of pub! Fancy opening one in Edinburgh? https://t.co/41f2Sw...
๐๐๐ See you then! https://t.co/ajEizB...
Correction from @CatrionaSNP. We wish her luck in the vetting! https://t.co/TxQSVO...
The greatest proportion of all hate crime is motivated by misogyny. In Scotland women are unprotected by existing hate crime law and consideration under reforms is to be deferred indefinitely. @HumzaYousaf why is this not a priority? ...
RT @ruthserwotka: This interview with Laura Bates on extreme misogyny and the online radicalisation of young men in hatred of women is gripping. From about 16.30. https://t.co/lcpfyL...
RT @HannahJMcGill: If I hear of people doing the smearing & namecalling about me that older feminists get now, I contact them & ask them to explain. (NOT the deranged or violent ones.) So far, 100% have denied their own words/hung up/refused ...
RT @LucyHunterB: @ForwomenScot @AudreySuffolk @GraceBrodie @HumzaYousaf Yes, I noticed that. Outsourcing such judgements to a US mega corp with zero democratic oversight is an interesting move for a party which is in theory committed to greater local ...
RT @FondOfBeetles: Behind the discussions of testosterone, muscle and sports regulations is a person, one who, like others with XY DSDs, has had to face a very personal challenge, and in Semenyaโs case, in the not-always-sensitiv... public arena. ...
RT @_freetodisagree: In our most recent press release we urge MSPs on the Justice Committee to strike down Part 2 of the Hate Crime Bill. This would ensure that free speech is protected whilst allowing other non-contentious changes to the law to ...
RT @blablafishcakes: The fundamental truths are: there are two sexes, male and female. It's not possible to change sex. Nobody is born in the wrong body. Transwomen are transwomen. Transmen are transmen. Women's rights are human rights. We will never ...
In the debate yesterday, Patrick Harvie claimed there were groups "which actively seek to propogate" racism, misogyny, homophobia etc. I doubt he was thinking of Stonewall, but their comments on Caster are not only inflammatory but play into racist ...
Thread with links to clips of the Hate Crime debate yesterday for those who missed!
Having moved to prevent @joannaccherry from standing as an MSP, are @theSNP now also trying to block @ChrisMcEleny and @CatrionaSNP? https://t.co/zJWz1c...
This relates to E&W, but it's very pertinent in contex of the hate crime Bill and the debate yesterday. @HumzaYousaf has committed to a process of updating the law, yet within this process and contrary to the Bracadale report, sex or misogyny is ...
Anyone can submit a question and we have excellent example from @chloeklassen below. / https://t.co/uOTKa0...
May be of interest to anyone concerned with schools! https://t.co/3Qo8On...
๐๐๐ If this is going to be Stonewall's contribution to advancing understanding of DSDs, I think we were all right to worry about their motivation... https://t.co/RmXokP...
