@unisontheunion@unisontheunion as a union where almost 80% of your members are women, please clarify, are you now campaigning for the Equality Act to be changed so 'sex' is no longer a protected characteristic?
UK: A trans activist has been jailed after issuing threats to slaughter female staff and students at three schools as revenge for the "oppression" of "trans women."
Most British news outlets did not include Darren Rigby's motives in their coverage.

BREAKING: Police Scotland are investigating whistleblower claims that a fake company received payments for SNP ‘office refurbishment’ (via @Daily_Record) https://t.co/agzCRWwfAL
Dear @marksandspencer The women whose custom you are losing will go elsewhere. This loss of trade will not be replaced by the men in wigs. That’s because they only want to be there if we’re there!
So when the real women leave - the fake women will desert you too!
The @BBCNews cover-up is worse than I thought. This was a man who identifies as a woman threatening violence against girls specifically for denying he was a woman.
This is not new. But it should be news.
Perhaps new Cab Sec for Education @MairiMcAllan can appreciate the seriousness of this situation. We provided her predecessor (& @EHRC, @EHRCScotland) with a list of 70 schools, confirmed to have mixed-sex toilets. There will be many hundreds more primary schools.

Each and every female pupil now has a prima facie case for indirect sex discrimination. We trust there will be a statement to Parliament next week to address what steps will be taken to ensure schools provide single-sex facilities.
“I am on my way to the school with a revolver and a machete and I’m going to shoot and stab all of your girls. You terfs are going to learn to stop mocking, deadnaming and misgendering transwomen like me.”
The obfuscation by media to hide this man’s trans identity is an huge part of the problem.
It seems the Scottish Parliament's finance committee will have SNP MSPs appointed as convener AND deputy convener. Quite aside from suspicions this will lead to weaker scrutiny of gov than with opposition MSPs heading it, this is a party that can't even manage its own finances
Wings Over Scotland has today filed a new complaint with Police Scotland and COPFS against the SNP, on grounds of suspected fraud, theft by appropriation, embezzlement and false or misleading statements, based on new evidence POST-Operation Branchform. https://t.co/orUI13zN5g
Very embarrassing from @S_A_Somerville who replied to @MeghanSCUP saying the West Lothian school ruling was about "different legislation" to the Equality Act.
No, it was found to be indirect discrimination under the terms of EA2010. It's clearly amateur hour at Holyrood!
France, where Gisèle Pelicot’s husband arranged for at least 83 men to rape her, where we learned of a chat group of 70k men interested in doing the same, is prosecuting a woman for saying we should be wary of people with penises
The prosecutor wants her fined & reeducated 🤬
Great piece from Daniel Finkelstein about Sturgeon, but why did you ever have to treat her as sage or a titan? Her calamitous failure in government on every metric, along with her inexplicable crusade against women's rights have damaged Scotland badly. All in plain sight.
Hunt should be hauled before a committee to explain why the organisation she led misrepresented the Equality Act 2010 to so many, for so long, and at such great human and commercial cost
