And if anyone doubts how deeply uneducated many MPs are on this issue, see below. The most basic elements of the judgment in @ForWomenScot have completely passed this MP by

[Ms W @Ms__W]

@Rikalii @rescueditem @TheMostRadLib @marasmith7 Say no to a 'trans woman' and watch the angry, abusive, lsexist man appear.

[Jane McLenachan @jane_mclenachan]

Yes, @AnasSarwar you promised me before the election that you were absolutely committed to implementing the Supreme Court ruling & protecting single sex spaces, so why are your MPs being allowed to disregard women's rights?

[Magspie 🟣⚪️🟢 @MrMagspie]

This dude is suing his ex partner?!

I really think that his ex should
be suing him.

The Parole Board, for Scotland’s decision to release a convicted serial rapist exposes a deeply flawed system that, prioritises the comfort of the offender over the rights and safety of survivors.

Former medical student Daniel McFarlane , convicted of raping Ellie Wilson twice and attempting to defeat the ends of justice, has been granted parole.

This article by Exposed Uk News outlines how the structural framework of the parole process repeatedly sidelined the victim, ultimately valuing the offender's preferences above justice.

The institutional disregard for the victim was made clear when Ms Wilson was completely banned from attending McFarlane’s oral parole hearing.

The Parole Board for Scotland upheld an objection from the rapist's legal team, effectively locking the survivor out of the process.

The Offender’s Veto: - McFarlane successfully blocked Ms Wilson from observing the hearing simply by objecting to her presence.

Institutional Rigidity: - The board previously scheduled a critical hearing on Valentine’s Day.

Despite Ms Wilson’s appeals for basic human compassion to move it from a highly distressing anniversary, the board flatly refused.

Secrecy and Isolation: Kept entirely in the dark, Ms Wilson was not allowed to watch the proceedings.

Instead, she was informed that her attacker would be released via a routine phone call.

The decision to grant McFarlane parole highlights a systemic issue where the comfort, privacy, and demands of a convicted sex offender are treated as a priority over the victim’s right to transparent justice.

Before being banned entirely, Ms Wilson was told she would have to sign a strict gagging order just to watch the public process a move she condemned as an attempt to protect her attacker’s privacy while silencing her own voice.

By allowing an offender to dictate who can witness his rehabilitation assessment, the justice system effectively shields the criminal from the reality of his actions.

This creates an environment where, as Ms Wilson stated, "rapists have more rights than victims."

The timing of the release adds further distress to the situation.

In 2025, the parole board blocked McFarlane's early release because he demonstrated a "profound lack of understanding" regarding his crimes, warning that other women would remain at risk until his behavior was addressed.

Remarkably, just over 12 months later, the board reversed its stance, claiming his risk "can be managed safely in the community" via geographic exclusion zones and licence conditions until 2027.

This case highlights why grassroots campaigns and organisations like Rape Crisis Scotland are demanding immediate legislative overhauls.

The current system leaves survivors to navigate a confusing, exhausting process that triggers fresh anxiety at every turn.

True justice reform must strip offenders of the power to veto their victims' presence, establish complete transparency in decision-making, and ensure that a survivor's psychological safety is never again sacrificed for a criminal's comfort.

More exciting speakers at #WRNconf26

[Wales-Women’s Rights Network 💜🤍💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WRNWales]

When Hannah Spencer talks of 'trans rights being stripped away', she is referring to privileges demanded by some men.
The men who want to breach women's boundaries and our own right to privacy, dignity and safety in areas where we are vulnerable.
The law is clarified. Our rights are not for sale. Sorry chaps, cry harder.

[Caroline McAllister @CallieMac009]

I look forward to discussing independence & other topics with you at the upcoming hustings in Broughty Ferry on Thursday.
I assume you’ve accepted the invitation?

[Sam Morgan @CrunchAlias]

If you're a man who thinks genital inspections would be the only way to stop you going in the women's toilets, because otherwise you're just going to sneak in, you are exactly the kind of man who needs to be kept out.

@PulaRJS Men know what sex they are. All they have to do is obey the law. So it's not difficult at all really is it? Unless men behave like entitled pr*cks

[JackieC @jackiecahill5]

@PulaRJS THEY know what sex they are. How about just trusting men to do the right thing, and stay out of women's spaces? Why not?

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

We are really looking forward to seeing which women @MrNishKumar chats with on his podcast the next time he wants to discuss women's rights to have some boundaries and things of our own. Who do we think it will be?

❓Perhaps it will be the incredible women who actually brought the Supreme Court action @ForWomenScot?
❓Or how about @SexMattersOrg?
❓Or @akuareindorf?
❓Or @sharrond62?
❓Or even us at WRN?
There's such an endless choice!
Silly us, OF COURSE Nish would run a mile from women who know their rights, and know the law too.
So we won't wait up for the invite.

[Peter MacDonald @BlackIslePMD]

Here's an *actual* problem that the unions could be properly tackling. Every minute/penny/joule that is spent on gender nonsense while this happens is a direct betrayal of workers.

[WRN NI @ni_wrn]

Sadly @ClaireHanna has decided to sign the Early Day Motion to disapply the EHRC Code of Practice. Our question is why sign this when it is not relevant in NI, as equality is devolved, or is it that she knows how prevalent the @ForWomenScot SC judgement is here? /1

[Diane Jones @dianjo]

@akuareindorf @MrNishKumar Not on a case by case basis @MrNishKumar - ALL men are excluded because we don't know which of them presents a threat to us. And the same applies to trans--identified men, because they are men, and look at this...

[Tracy Edwards @TracyEdwardsMBE]

. @SamanthaNiblet4 I gather you blocked @ForWomenScot for asking a few questions. So I will ask: is this a lesbian? Should he be allowed to undress with women & girls? Would you share an intimate space w him?

Defend yourself! Or are you going to block everyone who asks qs?
