The letter referred to today in @SP_Justice. The weight of orgs like @amnesty gives credibility to such allegations even if they are built on lies & misrepresentations. Why, @HumzaYousaf, should women potentially be dragged through hell & to ...
RT @TwisterFilm: Humza just got lost in his rabbit hole. "Mr Yousaf confirmed that a campaign promoting the view that sex was immutable would be prosecuted if it was deemed deliberately provocative." WHY is it never provocative to deny the scientific ...

RT @JoanMcAlpine: This is a much misunderstood topic so definitely worth signing up to this online event chaired by @RBFMaguire to hear from activists and survivors from arounds the world. It's free! https://t.co/s9KP58...
Thoughts on Freedom. Scotland saw some of the most vicious witch-hunts in Europe but also the birth of the Enlightenment. Which Scotland should we look to? Political settlements are as naught if we have not freedom of thought, freedom of conscience ...
RT @Rhome123J: @ForwomenScot @GraceBrodie He needs to find a bigger jail and a lot more police then, because there are a lot of women out there 🤷♀️
What does this indicate about the priorities of @LGBTIScotland and @HumzaYousaf? https://t.co/ZnSID4...
Glad that the record has been corrected with regard to Scottish Trans Alliance encouraging the reporting of stickers saying "woman: adult human female" as a Hate Crime. https://t.co/N5wFiP...

Amnesty Ireland probably don't want us to comment on a situation in Saudi Arabia, what with being Scottish. However, perhaps they can clarify which women's rights matter and when we are allowed to defend them? Thank you so much @iseult ...

Why is it proposed "cross-dressers" are protected under the Scottish Hate Crime Bill and what does that mean? https://t.co/sCQrmx...

Thank you Susan. The testimony of ordinary women and those in the VAW sector are often obscured. https://t.co/fcXEhM...
RT @LindyLoo2020: @ForwomenScot @Lesleygsmith3 Time @HumzaYousaf had a rethink. Many women have no interaction with the "most established" groups, thankfully. Ordinary women need their voices heard too and our voices are saying #SexNotGender. ...

FoI on the vexed question of the need to protect cross-dressers under the bill. If this stands, men on a stag night will have more protection than the homeless or people with facial disfigurements and, certainly, than women. https://t.co/4KzHs1...
