🧵There are 14 Scottish MPs who signed the Early Day Motion (EDM 240 / 65938) to reject the EHRC guidance protecting single-sex spaces.
This guidance reflects the @ForWomenScot UK Supreme Court ruling on biological sex in the Equality Act 2010. It gives providers clarity on the law.
These MPs want to undermine women's rights and same-sex spaces.
❗️We expect better from Scottish representatives
❗️We would like to know why they want to remove guidance that reflects the law

@hightreebud@kathmurray1@LoveWestLothian Unbelievable that girls under 12 years old dealing with menstruation for the first time were required to go to separate toilets - and @LoveWestLothian thought this was a price girls had to pay for their utter folly in building mixed sex toilets blocks with no privacy for girls
When you lay them all out in sequence, the SNP's long and varied list of attempted explanations about the missing fundraiser money really do make quite a tale. https://t.co/ZQ6V0ywG41
@edtchirp@akuareindorf@novaramedia Asking people to abide by the law that protects the use of single sex spaces & services where sex matters is exclusive. Males excluded from female spaces & services & females excluded from male spaces & services. We all have a sex so we all have a space or service we can use.
A vulnerable woman was raped in a male hospital ward because some staff thought her gender identity was more important than her sex. And UNISON wants more of this…it’s reckless beyond belief.
If anyone is wondering why UNISON is actively campaigning against the sex-based rights of its female members (who make up approx 75-80% of membership), this may explain matters ⬇️

Amanda Lindsay,
(Reform MSP Shadow Minister for Women & Equalities) delivered a truly well-measured and factual speech in the Scottish Parliament today. She rightly acknowledged the common ground on supporting high-quality childcare and giving every child the best possible start, while courageously addressing the profound concerns so many parents and professionals have about the ideological capture of our education and childcare systems.
Social transition is not a neutral or kind act when applied to very young children who still believe in the Tooth Fairy. It’s deeply concerning that guidance promoting this was rolled out across Scotland.
This wasn’t rhetoric; it was a calm, evidence-led call to put child safeguarding, biological reality, and women’s rights first. Refreshing to hear such straight-talking common sense in Holyrood. Well done Amanda.
@AngieCrid@LilyLilyMaynard@salltweets It's not about trans, it's about women being able to have things for themselves & every woman in Australia lost access to a women only service because of one man insistent on forcing himself into that space. It only takes one man to ruin things for all women. That's irrational.
As the Scottish government call for a Conversion therapy bill it is time for the Scottish public to wake up to the fact that ‘gender ideology’ is in itself conversion therapy. Please share this blog by @ScotPAG Scotland’s Trans S.H.A.M.E.

The more clinical psychologists we have the crazier society gets...I find therapy is a net negative...maybe if we didn't have it people would go back to supporting each other and talking to each other directly and community would become a priority again instead of endorsing people to fall through the cracks...maybe then kids could go back to being kids instead of being diagnosed as depressed, anxious, ADD and so on before their even in high school...pathalogizing reality it turns out hasn't worked out great
"Gibson said he had addressed the issue with Green MSPs in a meeting before his election."
Looks very much like the Green votes that secured his position were bought and paid for with his colleagues rights to legal and accurate speech.

This week i taught my 1st English class for Afghan women. Was so lovely to make a connection with these young women. They were extremely enthusiastic & very kind about my mangled pronunciation of their names. No teaching experience is req. Apply via email. DM me with any queries
@WomenReadWomen Even post puberty persons should not do this to themselves. They are also lied to, misinformed, and suffer symptoms for the rest of their potentially now-shortened lives. These atrocities are more egregious re: children, but they are atrocities at any age.
@ShahrarAli Privately educated & daddy funded PhD I guess by the background & accent yet we are to believe he represents diversity & belongs to a marginalised group. Identity trumps class privilege as well as male privilege for the greens. Free bus travel will make us all equal I'm sure🙄
We will not give up the fight to allow children to have a sound education in an environment that does not pressure them prematurely into adulthood and adult concerns https://t.co/oTINYKeiYV
