Feminist group against gender self-ID slam police over clampdown on stickers
Fife Police urge people to report 'hate crime' stickers - then say they are not illegal
This is good to see https://t.co/bMB25s...
No, I'm saying you are wrong & silly. You can continue to embarrass yourself though. And a "verb can't be a noun if it wants to be". For one thing, verbs lack agency (not being sentient). Verbs & nouns are not a sex class. If you want to ...

RT @thecourieruk: Police in Fife urged people to report stickers said to be related to a hate crime – before removing a tweet after it was found no laws had been broken. https://t.co/yb3xfi...
“The images we have seen are of stickers which express the sentiment that women will not remain silent in conversations about our bodies or our rights. “The idea that this is ‘controversial’ or requires investigation by the police is chilling.” ...
RT @CallieMac88: @SophiaPangloss @Grouse_Beater @theSNP Oh the irony...👀 Accuses me of peddling hate-no receipts to back up her scurrilous & false assertions. Less than 24hrs later she's caught red handed peddling hate & runs away.🤦♀️ #Karma ...
Was that Rhiannon? https://t.co/SL4JIr...
RT @LucyHunterB: I think the key thing here is not what the particular law provides for, but what police general practice allows, in relation to dealing with suspects. https://t.co/ioSRjq...
It's as well Rhiannon didn't put it on a sticker because we know the police would be involved if so... https://t.co/38XIh8...
RT @FFP: Huge social media backlash at Kirkcaldy Police probe into "controversial stickers" which read "women won't wheesht" https://t.co/IcFZvG...
Women are used to having feminism mansplained to us. Now we are being confidently told what Scots words mean by non Scots who thinks we spell a bit funny. #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/ciU60N...
Careful with the "we won't be silenced" line. Apparently, stickers saying #womenwontwheesht are "controversial" & merit police investigation. We don't want you silenced, we want to debate you openly with facts & evidence. Stonewall tried, ...
No, they reported on a scandal. Your illegal advice - counter to the EHRC - was used to discriminate against women. Do you rank women so low, that you feel attacks on them and women's exclusion from the public space are unimportant? ...
By this, do you mean the independent report that raised serious questions about Stonewall and the non-legal advice they supply, which resulted in discrimination against a protected group? Why not admit fault and get your house in order? Stop claiming ...
RT @AudreySuffolk: Both left and right practise ‘cancel culture’. Both should stop | Kenan Malik https://t.co/fbHx81...
Apparently by RTing one article, we "platform" people and support all their other views 🙄 This is, of course, a stupid argument which often rebounds on the person making it. Kenny must have a narrow group of associates if they agree on everything. ...
The behaviour of Stonewall & some of it's employees over the last two days has been appalling. Stonewall were supposed to exist to protect the rights of people who are same-sex or both sex attracted. These days, they seem to think their role is ...

Well, you actually said you were going to mute and not answer evidenced arguments, so I'm not sure that counts as "doubling down". "Bleat"? Bit sexist, no? You mean women arguing for CEDAW is "pulling up the ladder"? Because women, famously, have the ...

If you have argument, just lie about people and what they stand for. Nasty. https://t.co/j9NLux...
RT @DuncanHenry78: Ah look. Guilt by association. Person has opinions on subject A that have no relevance to subject B, therefore man is “bad” and can’t be right on anything. Extremely poor form. Stonewall has lost its way, and opinions on Travellers ...
Perhaps you'd like to argue that openly, Colin & explain why many people who were actually there in fight against Section 28 find that your organisation no longer represents them without whataboutery? Very disturbing to see you attacking those ...
