Interested to watch @SP_EHRiC meeting yesterday, esp @AConstanceSNP, who perhaps missed the evidence in @ForwomenScot's submission that all applicants to the Equally Safe Fund *must* have a transwomen inclusive policy. youtube.com/watch?v=SZK-FU… 1:33:45

@BerylPeril2 @amoozeboosh @ForwomenScot @AngelaCrawley30 In fact it's compulsory - no TW, no funding. This image is from the application form for the Equally Safe gov fund. Not sure what happens to the women who do not identify as women as they seem to have been cut out from accessing Women's Aid, etc

No offence, gang, but how much 'funding' does it take to do a webpage these days? Or to hold a meeting with ticket money taken in advance, @ForwomenScot? Shoestrings, as always. It's like @AngelaCrawley30 hasn't a clue how to organise without lashings of public funds to waste.

@amoozeboosh @ForwomenScot @AngelaCrawley30 Although due to threats and harassment security costs for meetings can be horrendous. Perhaps @AngelaCrawley30 would do better to look into why women are not easily able to exercise their rights to expression and assembly.

@tempie321 @amoozeboosh @WG_Scotland @EngenderScot Plus Engender had nothing to say on their GRA consultation submission about the proposals affecting children as they solely concern themselves with women's policy issues. What made them think they were a relevant stakeholder for children?

@AnmreS @CaptainDextar @calico_storms @FloraFay17 @PinkNews I'm confused - the post you're referring to was about a suspected male paedophile. I don't dispute anything you say.

@CaptainDextar @calico_storms @FloraFay17 @PinkNews You know that most pedophiles are male, right? That most targets are female, right? That most who are abused do not go on to abuse, right? That pedophiles lie to gain access to victims? That survivors dont want pedophiles around? twitter.com/caithness_pf/s…

@annmariestacey Unsurprisingly, no super powers required. But then I can navigate my way around the internet better than some politicians who seem to have difficulties finding the reply button on their email account. Sunlight is needed on this whole grubby mess.

@caithness_pf Quite shocking that you have discovered all this Betsy. Do you have super powers? You must have because so many main stream politicians, and their "wonderful" advisers haven't. I'm disgusted by this and, in a weird way enjoying, getting this out to my family in Fife.

@Lyno45 @LGBTIScotland @LGBTIScotland is a lobbying group who use their @scotgov funding to try and remove women's rights under the Equality Act. Why on earth would any woman support them?

Scottish MP doesn’t support declaration for women’s rights because it’s from a grassroots unfunded organisation. Women are doing work for free because politicians aren’t upholding our existing rights but now even that’s a reason to discredit us....

@ucuedinburgh There's a big long thread of people asking reasonable questions here. Can I ask (rhetorical question obv!) why you bother posting on Twitter if you are not going to engage with anyone?

The UoE UCU Branch is aware of a teach-out scheduled for Wednesday morning discussing gender and sex. While the branch supports academic freedom, this event will not be held under the UCU banner as it contravenes national and local equality and inclusion policy.

@TracyTimpkin @syringegun Ha! there's another one. Lovely sticker. 😀

@syringegun @caithness_pf Was it this one? 🙂

Since when has a rainbow sticker been transphobic?

@Jamie4North @LibDems 'Gender' is not a protected characteristic. Please use 'sex' when discussing the pay gap otherwise you are just comparing one mixed sex group of people with another, and that's pretty meaningless for gathering data on pay and employment levels for women.

This is shameful. All employers must do more to ensure they are inclusive. @LibDems will extend the Equality Act to all large companies, requiring them to monitor and publish data on gender, BAME, disability, and LGBT+ employment levels and pay gaps. theguardian.com/society/2019/d…

@Jamie4North Disappointed too. I have been searching for info on hustings in Caithness and this is the first I've heard of it!

Deeply disappointed that tomorrow's Thurso hustings has been cancelled due to a "lack of attendees". I was very much looking forward to meeting constituents and businesses and answering their questions.

.@brexitparty_uk I'm trying to contact my local candidate Sandra Skinner. Can't find an email address or an account on Twitter - can you please dm her contact details?

@Somerled12 @redmagzz @theSNP And the consultation is likely to be contained to the details of the bill. eg. should a person live in role for 3 months before applying for a GRC, or should it be 6 months. Or, should there even be a reflection period. They're steaming ahead, just quibbling about minor details.

what happened to the consultation we were promised?

@Just_Cat1 Yes, and Tim Hopkins is in there as a director too. But that's the company address. This says Dunn lived at a flat at 52 Broughton St: spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/gay… Also says Peter Tatchell wrote Dunn's obituary, so that's nice.

@grassynoel5 Quite possibly.

@Just_Cat1 I came across this and other similar reports, but a couple said Dunn's flat was 52 Broughton Street. The deeds that I posted earlier for 58a don't show Dunn's name anywhere, although Scottish Minorities Group is listed.

@Just_Cat1 Bookmarked to come back to in a bit. Thank you!

@Just_Cat1 Was this you? Well done on your work!

@campervanwoman @HairyLeggdHarpy Why thank you, very kind and fab people yourselves. ❤️

@HairyLeggdHarpy @caithness_pf She’s fab!
