@bornofwoman @scottishgreens @RealStephenKerr Apparently. And seemingly she thinks these women are dangerous in female prisons.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

Lorna Slater talking about the Prison Ruling. She thinks it a gotcha that "transmen" will be in the female estate. Um, they always were. At least research this @scottishgreens!

She tells @RealStephenKerr it's about "human rights" - women have those too!

So glad these women have been able to tell this story. Alison and Cynthia are more than vindicated.

@scottishgreens @RealStephenKerr .@DavidGreen4CSR is a newby, but we were sad to see this cop out. "Toxic debate" won't wash on a day trans activists have declared they want to dox us in "revenge" for winning a case for vulnerable women.

@LucyHunterB @SpainInTheArse @alexmassie There would be much patient, exasperated sighing...

@AbrazoHouse FM for the week?

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

@SamBarber1910 @alexmassie Oh yes, we'll take that!

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

@alexmassie Or maybe that should be a weasel...

@alexmassie As pets? TBH I'd rather have a pet alligator.

Can we choose which ones we keep?

[alexmassie @alexmassie]

For Women Scotland have beaten the Scottish government so often they should be allowed to keep them.

Spot on from @angusmacdlibdem: "We have an overriding moral responsibility to protect those who are most vulnerable in society especially children." He says MPs have a duty to speak out when something is wrong & calls this trial inhumane & uncivilised.

[Cllr Mike Sammon @Mike_Sammon]

“We were told we had a duty to speak out when things were wrong.”

“Many of us feel uncomfortable about using Beagles for medical research. How on earth can it be right to use children for irreversible and life changing medical research?”

@angusmacdlibdem on puberty blockers. 👍

1/ This is extraordinary. The tribunal here is giving every appearance of bias by preventing both Counsel and (very surprisingly) a witness from using pronouns consistent with their legally protected gender critical beliefs. This is a significant fetter on the use of language.

[Matt Forde @mattforde]

Woah… there’s only room for one English person doing dodgy Scottish accents in the political arena.

This is an attack on my business model.

1. 🚨BREAKING: County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has paid £187,000 in damages, apologised, and committed to separate changing facilities for male and female staff following the Darlington nurses’ legal case.

In January, the Employment Tribunal had found the nurses suffered harassment and indirect sex discrimination over workplace changing-room arrangement.

The case, brought by seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller, was supported by the Christian Legal Centre, which has provided the nurses with legal, media and pastoral support from the beginning of their ordeal.

The case has become one of the most significant legal challenges in recent years concerning the freedom of female staff to access single-sex spaces in the workplace, with the nurses being compared to the Ford Dagenham workers and being dubbed ‘The Angels of the North.’

In January, Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney, ruled that the policy, which had been in place at the Trust for years allowing men who identify as women to access the female staff changing room, had amounted to unlawful discrimination.

Following extensive and at times deeply protracted negotiations, the Trust has now paid out £187,000 in damages to the nurses, which does not include legal costs, which are still to be decided at a further hearing.

This figure also does not include the Trust’s own legal costs of £603,000, and counting, spent on defending its position of allowing men into female changing rooms.

@DalgetySusan No, that definitely counts!
