Deflection? Attacking @murdo_fraser in juvenile fashion when your own inadequacies have been laid bare, may seem like a useful distraction. It's not dignified, however. Why do you attack women meeting & MSPs listening? Are you going to comment on ...
RT @JennyMarra: Interesting on @andywightman decision. Harvie lost perspective, has sacrificed women’s rights and would struggle in govt. I was at both meetings. Andy was at the 1st, Patrick was at the 2nd. A travesty for the Scottish public that ...
RT @LabWomenDec: @ForwomenScot need just over another £14K to fund their appeal of the judicial review outcome. We can't afford to let the Scottish Government change the definition of 'woman' unopposed. Please chip in if you can, and share widely. ...
RT @ShahrarAli: Painful reading, a fuller account by @andywightman of his resignation last year & why he feels need to say more. A man whose actions ooze integrity & selfless regard over a sustained period of time. There has to be a better ...
RT @simonjedge: ‘For the committed GC crowd, in-jokes punctuate every page. But the work is more than a clever jab at trans ideology; it stands alone as a morality tale and a warning about the vulnerability of the liberal values’ Thank you ...
RT @JessDeWahls: Right team‼️ @ForwomenScot needs another £15k! Please share, please donate! We can’t afford to not fund this, so please contribute if you can! If you can’t please shre and shout about it! Faanks💜 https://t.co/wE0aAh...
As we all now know, Patrick Harvie attended this meeting despite allowing attacks on @andywightman for attending one similar. This meeting, BTW, featured @HotchkissRhona, @K_IngalaSmith & @DeclarationOn Karen posted the text of her speech soon ...
Another excellent thread https://t.co/L71Xld...
RT @HadleyFreeman: Sorry, but this is just insane. “National Breastfeeding Awareness Month” is not denigrating those who don’t breastfeed anymore than National Dog Day denigrates cat owners. Different things can be celebrated that don’t have to ...

RT @holyroodmandy: Interesting read from @andywightman on the bruising background to his resignation from @scotgp and a brutally personal insight into a party that @theSNP is in talks with to be part of our government. https://t.co/4wZBgZ...
RT @mearnsgal: I saw that interview live before it was pulled. Harvie came across as nasty, vindictive and spiteful. The interviewer actually stopped and asked him to clarify as he was shocked at his tone. He also all but defamed @ForwomenScot ...
RT @suzanne_moore: Why oh why would anyone call him a misogynist??? If you care about him , stage an intervention . Right going to the co-op. https://t.co/PpM0tP...
Why I Resigned from the Scottish Green Party
A brave blog from @andywightman who has suffered from sustained bullying and intolerance within SGP. Appalling hypocrisy as well from Harvie and others. Thank you for writing this and we are sorry that your former party were not so dignified. ...
RT @underaredflag: A female competing in a female event....a champion and not a cheat. https://t.co/YH0ETA...
RT @Obsolesence: I'm regularly asked "what can I do to contribute to fight the gender woo in Scotland". Apart from writing to or meeting your MSPs and MPs, my answer IS "support the feminist orgs fighting this crap, Like @ForwomenScot, the ones that ...
"But a psychic break from reality is the textbook definition of insanity. Let’s not go there." Brilliant from Lionel Shriver on moral cowardice in publishing, the arts, and BBC and the purity test that insists we deny what we see and know. ...
A man was convicted of threatening sexual violence against @joannaccherry & one charged for a physical assault on @bindelj. Did James O'Brien decry the very public, widespread abuse of these women? Or suggestions from their peers that they were ...
Hopefully, Quinn will inspire trans ID youths to understand that gender identity or non-conformity can be accommodated within their sex class. It'd be good if you could apply same principle to bio males instead of insisting they go to women's prison ...
"Our very right to exist is under attack. Rich societies...have decided that the simplest way to assuage the feelings of men who want to be women, is to pretend that binary sex is meaningless...We have become a subclass" @DalgetySusan on a ...
