Another for the "international best practice file". Tell us again how well this going in the lands of self ID.... https://t.co/JzogNA...
And we thought this was biology.... This is what happen when you addle minds and mix up science and rights! https://t.co/VKi8YW...
Ireland quoted today in WM as an example of international best practice. Obscuring male violence and mucking up statistics while lying to the population. https://t.co/rr9fPI...
Crispin Blunt, ladies and gentlemen... https://t.co/0tAGgC...
This is called sophistry. Oh, and cowardice. @CrispinBlunt should have the courage of his miserable convictions. Perhaps resign the whip and his seat and stand in by-election in hope the good people of Reigate also think that women should not be ...
RT @Baroness_Nichol: A warmest of Thankyou’s to the Minister herself. https://t.co/n3pUFB...
Blinking heck! This is shameless! Mermaids should note, we have all the receipts... https://t.co/a1I8eI...
Sophie thinks that women are not entitled to object when male bodied people enter their space but is concerned about the rape clause. Top trolling, Soph, but we spot this kind of gaslighting a mile off. Women do, you see... https://t.co/a4RhGF...
RT @WomenUnitingUK: @themis_ms @FelicityBuchan @JackieDP @trussliz This is why we think it's important. Many of us sent cards to @JoanMcAlpine because she stood up for women and she was kind enough to pin them up in her office in Holyrood ❤️ ...
This is an excellent idea! There was an outpouring of love and cards to Joan McAlpine when she memorably stood up for women last year. Politicians get a lot of slack - good to show them when we appreciate their efforts! https://t.co/TZnpFk...
RT @TwisterFilm: @PaulBrandITV @CrispinBlunt @trussliz Gay men who stay in the closet until they hit 50 in one of the world’s easiest nations to be openly gay don’t get to speak for the gay community just cos they claim to. Crispin needs to stop ...
RT @WomenUnitingUK: @ForwomenScot @trussliz @JackieDP Honourable mention for @FelicityBuchan too, who brought up women’s prisons
RT @Lachlan_Edi: When separating from his wife and coming out as gay in 2010, Crispin Blunt regretted his past votes and all the statements he wished he'd never made on the subject of homosexuality. Nothing like the zealotry of a convert, eh? ...
Good news for England. Now @JohnSwinney can we see something similar in Scotland, please? No child should ever be taught that there is a right or wrong way to be a boy or a girl. https://t.co/9yWhnq...
Not sure why a time constraint would cause someone to say something untrue. However, as Ms McLaughlin says she has listened to people across the UK, we hope she will manage to listen to concerned women. Especially as, unlike the GRA, the EqA is ...
RT @hightreebud: @ForwomenScot @StoatlyL @AnneMcLaughlin Indeed. It's more within her remit to ensure we get clear guidance for the practical use of the Equality Act exceptions. As Liz Truss said, women are entitled to single-sex services/spaces ...
An amendment would seem appropriate. Ms McLaughlin's comments were misleading at best. As Trina says, the consultation contract was cancelled and the responses were not analysed. https://t.co/L5doad...
RT @hightreebud: @StoatlyL Also, awarding the contract to analyse the consultation responses has been cancelled, and it's a five month process from advertising the contract to Scotgov receiving any results. So almost impossible to happen before ...
RT @FranDav: Just watched the urgent questions re the GRA on parliament live. Hurt feels, 50% suicide attempts (it's gone up allegedly) Ireland and Argentina cited as examples of best practice (with no evidence). Well done @trussliz and good to see ...
RT @zeno001: Some MPs throwing their dummies out of prams on the Commons over @trussliz's GRA reforms. Most really don't have a clue what they're talking about. https://t.co/4JQ7YO... Starting at 10:38. ...
Thank you @JackieDP for asking the minister to reconfirm commitment to Equality Act
Well, that's nice... Women who understand the structural forces of oppression deserve, what? Death? Subjugation? This, BTW, right after she tried to promote a "feminist" seller on etsy. https://t.co/kCSPcH...

As @_freetodisagree rightly say, there are still issues with the bill, incl lack of free speech provision. It would have been better to discard part 2 entirely. As @liamkerrMSP said in the debate, there are enough problems in part 1 to keep committee ...
RT @_freetodisagree: Hate Crime Bill 'U-turn' but critics warns: 'It's nowhere near enough' - @Mike_Blackley https://t.co/9xgWOc...
Doubt there will be much opposition to cancelling gender: after all, it's sex that matters - esp if you are having a heart attack, running 100 meters, being physically attacked, facing discrimination or, as even PN appears to realise, giving birth. ...
A reminder of why women find surrogacy problematic and exploitative. https://t.co/BznmX3...
