Educated when “reading comprehension” meant something. Opinions my own. Depressingly annoyed that the limp Parly of McGhilead are avoiding implementing the law.

Can you imagine, 10-15 years ago, someone standing up and saying men can be women and should be allowed in women’s toilets, sports, and prisons? They wouldn’t have been anywhere near that podium. And now, 4 out of the 6 main party leaders in Scotland - the people who could realistically become First Minister and lead the country - are either going along with it, or have done so at some point. How did we get here - and how did it happen so fast?

@kelvmackenzie @nats_tired The min wage has risen. I work in administration, I don’t get any freebies or perks. I earn slightly above minimum wage and I don’t see why I should hand over 20% in a service charge to take waiting staff or a pot washer over what I earn per hr for 15 mins of their time.

Gordon Ramsey has started adding a UK record 20% service charge to the bill for customers at his Lucky Cat pan Asian restaurant at 22 Bishopsgate in the City. My tip; Avoid this racket.

“I would love to work a 9 to 5, but my health won't let me” This is Kayleigh Unitt. She is running for election to the Welsh Parliament (and will likely win). Kayleigh wants to be paid £80K per year for a job she claims to be ‘too sick’ to do. Do not let this woman into power.

Parliament may be in purdah but I presume @scottishprisons is still doing the day job. Although the member of staff who gave evidence for @scotgov in the FWS prisons judicial review seems to have since been promoted to Chief Executive of SPS. 🤨 So she's unlikely to make changes

Consider this before you vote in the Holyrood elections: SNP ministers read this headline, realised a woman had been sexually assaulted by a man they had put in a women's prison, and thought: "No, nothing needs to change."

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans. 'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex. If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services. Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men. Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.

I put a 2kg brisket into the oven at 6.30 (I became distracted) & so here I am at 10.20 pm, still waiting & with several disgruntled people, who were promised a grand dinner but will now be fed nothing before 10.45, now resorting to baked beans on toast. A day of shame all round.

@Fyrishsunset She didn’t get someone’s vote yesterday. It seems passing on how awful she is to those who don’t use social media can achieve a good result. 😂

Never hear much about Karen Adam and when we do it’s invariably bad. High time the good folk of Banff & Buchan gave this awful woman her jotters … ‘SNP candidate sparks fury by throwing fishermen under the bus and refusing to sign wind farm ban’ scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

I was written to recently by a horrified mum who took her 10yr old daughter & friend swimming at the Queen mother sport centre, both girls were in a woman’s open changing room getting dressed after their swim. Two men came in & stripped off right next to them. This is NOT ok.

A year ago the Supreme Court settled what most people already knew: Sex means biological sex. It should have ended there. The question now is whether Keir Starmer has the backbone to act. So far the answer is no. Conservative councils aren’t waiting, we are applying the law.

I make no apologies for reposting this on the anniversary of For Women Scotland’s historic achievement, securing a landmark ruling in the Supreme Court. For twelve months, this government has dithered, delayed, and — we now learn — tried to temper the “tone” of the EHRC’s updated Code of Practice. It will NOT change the law, a law broken on almost a daily basis. #NoMoreExcuses #SupremeCourtRuling #WomenWontWheesht

This is not the Woman of the Day post. No one meets the criteria. This is the Woman of the Year post because three women do - For Women Scotland’s Trina Budge, Marion Calder, and Susan Smith who said in 2019: "If we cannot see sex, then we cannot see sexism, we cannot define sexuality, and it is the most vulnerable women who will suffer from this." They first met online in 2018 via that hotbed of radicalism, Mumsnet, and then in real life, little knowing that the next seven years would be dedicated to setting up For Women Scotland, spending countless hours learning the complexities of the law, mastering the skill of writing policy documents, lobbying politicians and the United Nations. They were labelled bigots, transphobes, fascists, Nazis, anti-abortionists, far right, Holocaust-deniers - all because they held the view that there are only two sexes and that human beings cannot change sex. It took For Women Scotland six years and the legal equivalent of Snakes and Ladders in which it lost a judicial review but won on appeal, and lost a second judicial review and a second appeal, to reach the Supreme Court on 26 November 2024 for a two-day hearing with unbelievably high stakes for every woman and every girl in Great Britain. I do not underestimate for one moment the pressure this placed on Trina, Marion and Susan: the cost to them financially and personally, the worry, the sleepless nights, the huge chunk it took out of their lives and the lives of their families, but I will be forever grateful that they never hesitated, never quailed, that they stood firm. One day when historians examine this period of history and write of countries captured by the frankly absurd belief that men could become women, could even be lesbians, and that there are 93 genders, the day when academics theorise on why madness arrives in crowds but sanity returns one person at a time, they will speak of the three women who took on the Scottish government and legal system, restored sanity to the UK and won. On 16 April 2025, Trina Budge, Marion Calder, and Susan Smith secured this glorious legal victory for For Women Scotland and for all of us: "The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.” Lord Hodge, Supreme Court Brava, For Women Scotland! 💚🤍💜 Photo credit: @Anna_Moffat
