@AndriaDont99498 Yes, femininity does come from within. You are a woman not because of what can be seen on the outside but what you know to be true about yourself on the inside. The same as trans people. We are all human.

Tomboy, not trans. When I moved from the style on the left to the style on the right, nothing about my personality or gender changed. I didn't do it because Im a lesbian. I did it because I find it easier to style men's clothing and I like the ability to change my hair often. I simply became comfortable styling myself. Still a woman. Still love pink and things that sparkle. I go feral for Target runs and Starbs. I hate yard work and I would love to be a home maker. Changing my clothing and hair did not change my gender. If anything, it affirmed to me that femininity comes from inside, and it's a beautiful thing.

@DailyMail Great idea. Unfortunately defence is reserved to Westminster so we'd need either full devolution of defence or independence to make that happen. Which is Stephen promoting?

STEPHEN DAISLEY: Defence is a serious business... and it's time the SNP ditched the student politics and made it a priority trib.al/h6UO2Jk

@JasonMcdon91742 @IreneWilson_ SNP unlikely to win all Fife seats - Willie Rennie will be v hard to topple. We've had SNP on the list there previously as well. I'd call it an indy insurance vote because if it's not needed then great but if SNP loses out in constituency even by a couple of votes it will matter.

@IreneWilson_ Yep im giving green 2nd vote in fife. Interrogated a few ai models and this was calculated as best bet for most indy msps. SNP 1 Green 2. It is different for different areas though, so worth checking. Itd still be snp 1 and 2 in south Scotland for example

I’m still confused about my Regional vote in May ! I’ve always put SNP for both in the past but folk are saying give an Indy candidate your regional vote. Anyone? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@AlexMacLeod9 @HMarnoch @IreneWilson_ Aye, South Scotland for example includes Hamilton which currently has a Labour MSP and the Borders which has a Tory, so saying SNP are sure to win every constituency is clearly nonsense. A drop in SNP list votes could easily lose pro-indy seats.

@HMarnoch @IreneWilson_ And that is crystal ball territory. Even within a region there are pockets who can support any party. In my opinion there are also too many seats that have historically been very very close.

@IreneWilson_ What indy candidate? Some claiming to be indy candidates have links to ultra-unionists so simply slapping a Saltire on someone doesn't mean they can be trusted to act in Scotland's interests. Look at the parties and the candidates and decide who deserves your vote.

@FatEcks8633 @BronwynChat @jackiebmsp Who's defending a sex offender?

@BronwynChat @jackiebmsp So you are defending a serial sex offender, that shouldn't surprise anyone who sees the pish you put on here.

Carragher’s decision to defend Linden was a serious error of judgement. If she doesn’t stand down voluntarily, the SNP should sack her as a candidate - Scots deserve better.

@jackiebmsp She told a court what she saw BEFORE he was convicted. What do you have to say about your pal Pam who remained friends with a convicted paedophile, even after he was convicted for a second time?!

@John2Win @ScotTories What a great photo - people of all ages coming together with broad smiles and hope for a better future! Thanks for sharing.

Just like across the country, the SNP in the Borders couldn’t give a damn about local people’s priorities. Obsessed with independence, and distracted from the day job. The only way to stop an SNP majority is to use both your votes for the @ScotTories on 7 May.

@SUTRScotland @uaf @AntiRacismDay Oh, I didn't even see them, was too busy having a joyous time.

Eight far-right transphobes humiliated at the 450 strong Trans Pride Edinburgh today as they are massively outnumbered. This is the second Sat running where the far-right were outnumbered by anti racists, LGBT+, Palestine solidarity, TU’s & faith groups. Unity is our strength!

@angijones So, get the 14yr old to ring for results. Or if they're not capable you could have them with you and able to consent to info being shared.

15 year old son had a blood test. Doctor asked me to ring on Friday for the results. Receptionist said “we can’t give you his results because he is over 14 and hasn’t given explicit consent.” This isn’t to empower or protect kids, this is the State incrementally removing parents as the primary guardian of children while children are still naive and suggestible.

@cllrcameron @poloandsons @BjCruickshank @JimSpenceDundee @theSNP It's the same when you hear SNP branded anti-English - my local SNP Cllr is English, the SNP Cllr in the next ward along is English, and my SNP MSP was born in England.

@BjCruickshank @JimSpenceDundee @theSNP Same. I am Roman Catholic. In my several decades as an SNP member I have never once been asked what my religion is, and in my 27 yrs as an elected member, I’ve NEVER heard any colleagues discussing the removal of catholic schools.

Many in John’s party would close Catholic schools tomorrow if they could. I can still recall a serving MSP saying to me apropos of nothing ‘That’s the trouble with you catholics’

@DeirdreBoleyn @jane_mclenachan @glasgowcathcart I'm not avoiding statistics, I'm saying there could be multiple drivers for them. Should male coaches train female athletes given the statistics on male crime and the many examples of abuse happening? Should men be allowed to be teachers or carers of girls and women?

@EnbyScot @jane_mclenachan @glasgowcathcart You're avoiding the statistics. What do you make of them? Given that trans women are men, should they have access to women's spaces, esp when these statistics are known? Prevention is the best starting point. Third spaces (NOT disabled people's spaces) are another option.

Females being attacked and sometimes murdered by their partners or someone they know every day yet this is seen as a priority. We’ve been conned folks, trans people are not the danger, heterosexual males, often those you know, are. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@DeirdreBoleyn @jane_mclenachan @glasgowcathcart There's also data showing higher rates of crime in black men compared to white but we ended segregation decades ago and recognise institutional racism within the police and judiciary has played a part in those stats. Just saying...

@EnbyScot @jane_mclenachan @glasgowcathcart That could be the case. Research would show whether it is or is not. However, the figures on trans people in gaol for sexual offenses, as well as for other serious crimes is not hard to find, and shows trans people disproportionately gaoled for sexual crimes.

@jane_mclenachan @glasgowcathcart Could be that juries are less lenient, police are biased when it comes to how they treat trans accused, or could be related to sex work rather than sexual violence. Until you have the full details you can't know if they are actually a greater risk or disproportionately caught.

@glasgowcathcart Males are the danger. How they identity is irrelevant to the risk they present. In fact, if MoJ stats are anything to go by, trans identifying males present a greater risk to females, given that they're disproportionately in prison for sexual offences.
