What Would Granny Weatherwax Do?

Women's rights and trans rights are not in conflict. All legitimate concerns have been addressed in the Equality Act 2010, statutory guidance, and case law.

So I gave a speech yesterday defending women against "women's sex-based rights", and spoke to the national news. And I bet many objectors to that tried to attack me on eX-twitter. But I don't see any of that! Terf-blocker works! tell your friends and all the decent people

Many thanks to @WaterstonesGla for having me! & if you’re in Glasgow & want a signed-by-me copy, both Sauchiehall & @WStonesArgyleSt have got you covered. (Though you need Sauchiehall for the DIY tweet-sleeves courtesy of @D_Libris)

This isn't a resignation statement; it's a temper tantrum.

And its central claim is untrue.

Johnson says he was "forced out anti-democratically" by a "kangaroo court".

So let's remind ourselves of the process from which he has chosen to run away... 🧵

it's always "low cost housing ruins the country's aesthetic" and "not concrete tower blocks!!!" when the real destruction of british architecture is property developers and landlords gutting character houses, building cheap extensions and parcelling off gardens for maximum profit

@CamJohnston WooHoo!

@Michael_Mooney @sistersinead ... or why do you think every elected representative holds face to face surgeries?

[What Would Granny Weatherwax Do? @ms_chatelaine]

@Michael_Mooney @sistersinead So put money into paying people for reliable services. "Digital" is shorthand for laying people off in favour of chatbots and impenetrable websites. At best it reinforces the directors' and designers' prejudices and at worst it discriminates.

famously, the demographics that most frequently use the NHS are extremely tech-savvy and all have reliable access to the Internet on many devices

OP had to delete this for his sanity, but for the sake of all twitterkind I’m falling on the sword

@Ameer_Kotecha Nonsense. Every country can gather crowds and let a few planes with coloured streams fly overhead.

Those are NOT achievements.

Feeding your hungry; healing your sick, educating your youth; caring for your vulnerable: those are achievements to be proud of.

We have nurses & junior doctors on strike & consultants potentially joining them very soon. Lets talk about inflation & pay. How to fix this car crash (& perhaps more importantly, how NOT to). Please read full 🧵 to end and share / RT

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

We welcome the announcement that the Scottish Government seeks to challenge the Section 35 order in court.

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill simply seeks to make the process for legally recognising a trans man or trans women’s gender more respectful and straightforward.

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

Last year the Scottish Parliament voted overwhelmingly for Gender Recognition Reform - a small but significant step for trans rights.

The UK's attempt to block it is an attack on equality and Scottish democracy.

“Orlando had become a woman… Their change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity… but in future we must, for convention’s sake, say ‘her’ for ‘his’ and ‘she’ for ‘he’.”
