They cannot demand that the Code of Practice is unrepresentative of the law and they cannot demand organisations ignore the law if they dislike it.

Oh dear, as well as straying into murky copyright waters, GLP's little pals may get them into trouble when they start vandalising books. Really stupid for a "law" organisation!

📢#Election Guide! 📢 We have been through the manifestos of the 6 largest parties & have come up with our guide. Tldr: @scottories.bsky.social & @scottishlabour.bsky.social are way ahead of the pack! Also remember Ash, Fergus & Jeremy who are standing as independents. forwomen.scot/24/04/2026/s...

Correction needed @scotnational.bsky.social The definition of woman in the EA has NOT changed. The court clarified it means, and always did mean, sex. This is an embarrassingly lazy & inaccurate error which should have been picked up by a decent editor. Less activism and more news, perhaps?

Well, that escalated quickly!

We replied to posts like this to set the record straight but they don't want the truth - that prevents them stirring up a mob against us - so they block.

Unsurprisingly, TRAs on here & reddit are dishonestly, selectively editing this to make it sound like we want to defund rape crisis services. We want an audit of publicly funded orgs to ensure they provide value for money & that it is reaching frontline services. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Susan Smith @forwomen.scot says so many people tried to write them off because they were middle aged women and they were dismissed as ‘hags’ and ‘unfanciable’. Victoria Smith's excellent book, Hags, explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today.

'A militant transgender activist group has issued a “direct action” guide to members, urging them to arm themselves and carry out repeated illegal attacks on MPs and organisations.' And they wonder why women don't want them in our spaces! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Well, no, because while they may have supported it, none of them pursued it with single-minded obsession, pushing it in unprecedented late night sittings. May was PM, but she backed off (despite still believing in it) & Lab has done a 180°. Only C-H & Sturgeon refuse to say a rapist is a man.

Yep, just to confirm it’s my whole account, not just that post. I think it’s because I posted sex is real l, binary and immutable but not sure!

Sad to hear of Jenni Murray's passing. She was delighted to take part in #FiLiA2021 in Portsmouth. It took a little while before she felt able for us to share the recording, but when she did her words were 'much satisfaction!' #RiPJenni youtu.be/wr6MxOi03Rg?...

Sad to see the despicable replies to this. @theguardian.com left X because it was "toxic". Presumably they don't find the vile, aggressive sexism on this site unacceptable. Please fill it with nice replies in memory of a wonderful journalist.

4/4 I believe that very many people of both sexes will remember Jenni fondly and with admiration. At the end of her last Woman's Hour she played this recording, which is one of my favourites too. Bye-bye Jenni. I'd rate you above Chuck Norris any day.

Jenni's last words on WH were: ‘you have to consistently remind yourself that women are a vast range. There are many different stereotypes that fit our gender, so there's no one stereotypical woman…but our sex we share.' www.thetimes.com/uk/obituarie...

Thankfully, many Rape Crisis Centres hold true to the legacy of women like Rosemary Whyte. The new alliance & Beira's Place centre women. Unsurprisingly, this seems to have upset a lot of men on this site. www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

This is great news for Scottish women who can be assured of female-led rape crisis services in the West of Scotland. tfn.scot/news/rape-cr...

GLP’s “indemnity” is nonsense. The ultimate legal risk for charities/trustees who are breaching their charitable objects is the removal of charitable status by the Charity Commission. It’s impossible for GLP to indemnify that risk, because it’s not a financial risk. bsky.app/profile/good...

We have written to the committee considering the SSI for adding sex to the Hate Crime Act in response to a bizarre letter from the Equality Network. Both can be found here: www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-...

The reading by GLP is egregiously false. Scottish Trans should not be encouraging followers to potentially fall foul of the law. This is irresponsible and dangerous. www.thetimes.com/uk/law/artic...

[email protected] remained silent during the Prostitution Bill, even though they supposedly believe prostitution is VAW & they have uttered not a squeak about the situation in women's prisons, but they did manage to sign this.

You’ve tried romantic and maybe even tantric but have you ever thought about semantic sex? Wonderland, dusty bluebells and life as told by idiots. It could only be Day 3 of FWS v the Scottish government. genderblog.net/fws-day-3-se...

“The law is clear” “The Supreme Court is clear — the Equality Act must be respected. That means defending single-sex spaces for biological women in services, in sport and in everyday life. That is what I will deliver in government." Good. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Excellent response from @forwomen.scot Show compassion? Do us a favour.

No one involved in this campaign has approached us. That is not our fault!

Despite claiming to accept the SC ruling, Swinney wants the court to issue a “declaration of incompatibility”, stating that removing men from women's prison breaches their human rights. Scot Gov hold both the truth & the public in complete disdain - they can’t even tell right from wrong any more.
