Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girlsโ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of womenโs jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girlsโ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on womenโs and girlsโ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

Thank you, @shellenberger, for speaking the truth that so many have willfully ignored.
Instead of being encouraged to explore their attraction to other girls, young girls are now urged to become โstraightโ in a male body. Letโs be honest: this mindset doesnโt support the gay and lesbian community. This is actually homophobic.

@caitlinmoran Donโt waste your time.
Youโll learn it and then about 3 hours later youโll have forgotten it & wonโt have the foggiest idea where the recorder is.
@JenniferLaChap6@benpartridge@Markgatiss You absolutely are a work in progress & itโs very difficult for us to be angry with someone who has died. The guilt can be a bit too much and creates internal conflict. But you are not what anyone else says you are. Do some inner work & relearn who you truly are xx Love ๐
@sharrond62 Itโs mentally debilitating & having to leave meetings because sweat is dripping off your face & down your back is humiliating. No, itโs not a sickness, in the same way pregnancy isnโt. But your career shouldnโt be threatened because you donโt have a clued up GP.
