I am announcing my candidacy to be the next leader of the Scottish National Party. I will reinvigorate the party, give power to the members and take our party on to further success. Independence - nothing less.

A mother was so distressed by her toddler’s “effeminate” behavior that she slapped him. She suspected he might be gay (he was 2 years old), adding: “That could not happen. That would not happen.” The magical solution she found online was that he was “born in the wrong body”./1of4

"Unplanned pregnancies can occur if penis-in-vagina sex happens where the penis ejaculates sperm and the person with the vagina also has a womb." One example of 'inclusive' language we found in 'LGBT' resources. See many more here: https://t.co/g4UmQT1AQp #RSEday #CourageCalls

Boris Johnson bizarrely tells Parliament Hospital parking is free whilst NHS staff fighting the coronavirus pandemic to protect & save our lives are still being forced to pay extortionate hospital parking charges!

RT if you think hospital parking should be FREE for all NHS staff

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews If your view is there shouldn't be separate male & female facilities, regardless of trans, then you need to make the arguments for that

If you think separate facilities are needed, then that needs to accommodate trans as well as safeguard female safety

It's not rocket science

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews It's no longer sex discrimination to sack a woman for pregnancy or breastfeeding issues as both men and women now have those issues

No replacements for this & similar are proposed - it's a complex issue but can be solved

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews No that's not true, women have rights under law that depend on the definition of women - if the definition changes so do the rights - nothing to do with trans as such or to take rights away

Sex discrimination depends on sex differences - sex categories depend on sex differences

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews Such as?

It's pointless to say someone is misunderstanding without explaining why

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

Note @Twitter is removing tweets that link to government sites. Why? This is utterly sinister.

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews Eradicating sex makes it impossible to identify & fix sexual inequality & discrimination - this impacts TW too so denying it exists is not in anyone's best interest

Understanding is what leads to acceptance, not confrontation

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews It's always been accepted there's physiological differences between male & female

To accept trans, it has to be acknowledged there's the same physiological differences between men & men/women & women

Society & language has to change to accommodate that

Sex & trans can coexist

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@GlasgowMake If half the population identifies as non binary will they shut down all the maternity hospitals?

I meet the criteria for female sex but not for the gender of "woman" as it appears to be now

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews Discussing the issues doesn't amplify anything, if there's no conflict it will become apparent.. the more it's discussed the better

The more it's dismissed and shut down the more folk will be suspicious

Scotland adheres to EU rules on discrimination.. are you saying otherwise?

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews I don't understand how you can see women's rights as a threat to be honest, the fact that you do is a bit worrying about your overall motives but is irrelevant in the bigger picture - the solution will be rights for all, as it should be...

Shall we go back to gender free toys?

[Scotland Chooses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ScotlandChooses]

@MorganeOgerBC @KatyNewf @DiggyWigs @NBCNews Not sure how we got from gender free toys to Scotland's postion in the world, but Scotland is already an internationally recognised country, in a union with 4 other countries - You do realise that its possible to preserve both womens rights and trans rights? It's not either/or?
