RT @mbmpolicy: Thank you to everyone who has donated to our crowdfunder so far. We are incredibly grateful for every donation, however small, and for the vote of confidence it signals in the work that we do.
RT @TwisterFilm: Smuggled footage from the launch of NHS Scotland’s LGBTQ+ Pledge reveal how badges will make everyone more productive. “No one need fear the Gender Revolution ” said Nicola Sturgeon from her bunker where she monitors transphobia ...
RT @scarycath: My friend @DilysDavies 's appeal will be coming up shortly regarding her suspension from Yes Cymru's central committee for holding Gender Critical beliefs. Can we please show her some support people. @ForwomenScot @judgejules75 ...

This is a fascinating thread. And, of course, #ScottishWitches are still doing things with #HatefulHaberdasher... https://t.co/VKzqyi...
A @TwisterFilm thread on that NHS video! https://t.co/oAPafo...
Worthy of respect
This is lovely xxx https://t.co/cRj7x2...
Good comment from a senior nurse on our blog. https://t.co/7bUX6w... "I have an NHS badge with my name, my designation and my speciality. > ...
RT @SundayTimesSco: A campaign by NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government asking health workers to sign a pledge and wear a Pride badge supporting gay, lesbian and trans people has been criticised after it emerged participation in the scheme will be ...
RT @SundayTimesScot: A campaign encouraging Scottish NHS staff to sign a pledge and wear a badge supporting gay, lesbian and transgender people has been criticised after it emerged participation in the scheme will be monitored https://t.co/WbISrx...
RT @AnnChristie92: This is absolutely disgraceful! The NHS is supposed to be non-political treating everyone equally according to need. As a retired NHS therapist I agree with every comment here. I don't believe the Royal Colleges will agree to this ...
RT @TheEmperorsNew2: @ForwomenScot @YouTube I treat my patients with compassion, respect and dignity even whilst being kicked, punched, threatened and spat at. I have practised this over 40 years. To tell me I must wear a badge to prove it is ...
RT @RenterNomads: @ripx4nutmeg So glad that @ForwomenScot are recognised enough as a stakeholder to be quoted in such stories. Who else will publicise what the physical harms the promoters of binders seek to conceal? https://t.co/3ATbqg...
RT @boodleoops: Belief in ‘gender identity’ is also protected under the Equality Act. But no philosophical belief gives someone the right to abuse, harm or discriminate against others. Which means believers in gender identity can no longer ...
This is nice. They are talking about Sarah Ditum. Funny how the new misogyny uses the same tropes as the old... https://t.co/112obT...
RT @_Leyanelle_: Stonewall considers GC people intolerant. The idea that a workplace & public body can not just allow a scheme that discriminates against those with protected GC views, but monitor it too, is fostering a hostile & ...
A good question for @EdinburghUni EUSA group https://t.co/PBuCVk...
RT @ajwgrant: @ForwomenScot @YouTube Couldn't give us PPE, but badges? No problem.
RT @CllrDunlop: @NoXYinXXprisons @HumzaYousaf I’ve stood up for the disadvantaged, discriminated and marginalised my whole life. I do not need an Oceana style pledge pin to remind me to be a decent human being.
RT @CallieMac88: #WomenWontWheesht was created by @Dis_Critic in an ongoing campaign to highlight the need for women to defend our rights. Marion Wallace Dunlop-suffragette & inspiration for many today challenging the misogyny embedded in our ...
RT @AnnMSinnott: Worth a read. https://t.co/dxHBYB...
RT @shareen74uk: @ForwomenScot @SundayTimesScot I have always practiced unconditional positive regard towards all my patients. Even the ones who assaulted me and verbally abused me based on religion and race. I take offence that NHS Scotland thinks I ...
RT @fitlikequine43: What Happens When Doctors Can't Tell the Truth? - Common Sense with Bari Weiss. @ForwomenScot similarities here with the the pride “badge” https://t.co/gKx3jC...
RT @_Leyanelle_: The Scottish NHS wants NHS staff to listen to conversations between patients & report them to the police for any hate crimes. When I was in hospital, it was mostly older people, very sick people, & many in various states of ...
RT @STILLTish: This is the author. https://t.co/fXXLYJ...
RT @STILLTish: This is who Maya “misgendered” by using “he”. Not a colleague by the way. I cannot imagine how she came to make this mistake. https://t.co/uouyIO...
RT @PGtwweets: I agree with Caroline. People are facing very real life limiting issues which the government seems not to view as a priority yet they'll spend time and money on a pledge & badges. To what ends? Meanwhile we've child poverty, food ...
How about more women discussing women's issues? Or more gays and lesbians who feel your message erodes their rights? These "issues" do not occur in a vacuum, but all Stonewall has ever done is try to exclude dissenting voices. https://t.co/451nqH...
RT @Ayrshirelass13: @ForwomenScot @YouTube "Visible symbols of support are important. They are signposts of safety." Insinuating: Badge wearers = safe Non badge wearers = unsafe https://t.co/ebMh78...
RT @Pino1The: @ForwomenScot @SundayTimesScot As a gay man I am appalled at this. All patients should be treated equally & homosexuals are not a special species to be treated differently & if not they can complain. In my experienced, medics ...
Yes, we know that some people might feel uncomfortable if a nurse wore a suffragette ribbon and we would never suggest that she did so for that very reason. Political campaigns - and Stonewall is lobbying to change law - need to stay out of hospital. ...
Another good point! Guidance for staff tells them to announce badge wearing on SM and then, potentially, report negative comments under hate crime. https://t.co/mRHfX3...
RT @Gillian_Philip: This one is particularly relevant this week 😂 https://t.co/CWbUBc... https://t.co/yRHakG...
RT @TheEmperorsNew2: @ForwomenScot @YouTube The video is implying that by not wearing the badge I am somehow ‘unsafe.’ or even, a threat. That is my interpretation or am I just overreacting?
RT @CforWomenUK: Good grief. Please watch this @LesbianGayNews @ConservativeLGB and @Baroness_Nichol @JackieDP @LordPhilofBrum @trussliz and any other parliamentarian who cares about women and children https://t.co/ezGUKa...
RT @mintyylamb: "Visible symbols of support are a signpost of safety" Yes, because nobody will wear one unless they are completely genuine in their kindness and support. People not wearing one will definitely be the only monsters we need to worry ...
RT @Obsolesence: And then read this by an 3x-NHS trust chief exec: - Stonewall’s influence is undermining ability to keep our patients safe - it stifles free speech & creates a culture of fear amongst some staff - it gives misleading and ...
RT @DalgetySusan: This 👇🏼 the conflation of people with differences of sexual development (a wide range of conditions) with trans people is just wrong. @NHSScotland should know better. If you need appropriate advice and support @dsdfamilies is an ...
RT @sleeepysandy: Who’d be at YOUR fantasy dinner party? Alongside Maya & JKR, obvs. https://t.co/whSEqq...
RT @MrMalky: @ForwomenScot @YouTube @NHSScotland This video is 1) Offensive 2) Factually incorrect 3) Did I say Offensive? 4) (DSD's are not a "Gender Identity") 5) (4) This appears to be Stonewall Propaganda based on Queer Theory - which has very ...
Oh Dear! https://t.co/iz8sxe...
RT @TwisterFilm: Another good piece in @thetimes with quotes from @ForwomenScot and some Scottish bloke on behalf of @ALLIANCELGB. By the way, does anyone know whatever happened to that petition to ban the Alliance from the UK media? 👇 ...
RT @amoozeboosh: This is astounding, tbh. And enraging. The NHS is for everyone, treatment without fear or favour. Staff, next time you have to fill out your stupid "I Matter" NHS survey, remember #EveryoneMatters. #GetStonewallOut ...
The @SundayTimesScot today published a report on the proposed NHS Scotland Pride badges scheme which commits staff to report on colleagues and patients. The documents are can be seen here. #GetStonewallOut https://t.co/7bUX6w...
RT @rogdmum: @ForwomenScot @SundayTimesScot @EdinburghUni And in Scottish schools, the LGBTYS guidance lists Mermaids as a support group for teachers to send gender distressed pupils to. Mermaids send free binders to girls as young as 13 even when ...
Thread https://t.co/DGYNlq...
Also in @SundayTimesScot. Breast binding is a dangerous practice. Would @EdinburghUni consider breast ironing to be acceptable? The results are very similar, but while one is condemned by international orgs, the other is encouraged by leading ...
RT @BlackIslePMD: @NHSScotlandCE @Carolineslamb I desperately hope that somehow you've been misquoted in the article, because the alternative, that someone of your experience and credibility is promoting, indeed pressurising staff, with a scheme like ...
RT @BlackIslePMD: This is utterly embarrassing. Across the rest of the UK, institutions (public & private) are taking stock of their relationship with the compromised and flawed org that is Stonewall. Here in Scotland, there is a mindless ...
Also in @SundayTimesScot. Our comment refers to breast binders, which were, apparently, also being offered (although the final article doesn't mention them for some reason!) https://t.co/idG7N7...
