@Angry_Skeptic Please can you explain why it hurts nobody to identify as a woman but it does to identify as another race?
As a woman, I completely disagree with you.
@rachel__julia @leftist_rage Is there research showing that discrimination happens on the basis of actual sex rather than perceived sex or gender? Because otherwise it seems that a lot of energy is being poured into arguing about solving a problem that doesn’t exist, at the expense of solving one that does.

Despite hard work, results & a strong reputation I’ve been sacked today from @theSNP front bench. My constituents & fellow party members who gave me a resounding mandate in recent NEC elections should rest assured that I will continue to work hard for them.
1/ Thanks to @BBCr4today for having me on to discuss data collection on sex and why it matters. This follows the extraordinary claim by Scotland's Chief Statistician, Roger Halliday, that sex should typically not be asked unless there is a medical reason.
"Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is not an identity. "Woman" is NOT an IDENTITY.
At Women’s Running we support all people who identify as women to run. We are an inclusive community of runners, and we do not tolerate abusive language. We will not respond to hateful messages to us or to those who we support. Encourage each other: running is hard enough as is.
@Womensrunninguk@eddieizzard I wonder if when Eddie goes running, they feel the need to avoid running at night, to always run with a friend, to share their location, to avoid isolated locations, to avoid wearing headphones, to carry a personal alarm, to regularly change route, to carry keys between fingers?
@liznangel3 @suzanne_moore@eddieizzard A white heterosexual male appropriating the language of two oppressed classes to which he does not materially belong is rather against the ideal of #Diversity
.@Critic_Speak asked me to contribute to a podcast discussion around the subject of race in the Welsh Arts scene.
They wanted me to talk about how I might have suffered, as a Black artist, from the gatekeeping White hierarchy that has dominated Welsh culture forever.
Instead/
We have a client who wants to admit to dozens and dozens of SERIOUS SEX OFFENCES up and down the country.
We have tried and tried, but no police force will take responsibility & investigate ‘because it crosses police forces.’
What about the victims? What else can we do?!
Delighted to be re-elected to @theSNP#NEC along with my sisters @CallieMac88 as Womens Convenor & @EnnylNosredna as Equalities Convenor, @DougChapmanSNP as Treasurer @SovereignWill as Policy Development Convenor @RogMull@CatrionaSNP @DrDeBold also there!
