“They don’t for example, have an image to show ‘Jack’ suffering the effects of sterility, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis, or any other consequences of a woman taking high doses of cross-sex hormones."

Scottish Government will not appeal Lady Ross's ruling on prisons.

A perfectly normal day over on this twitter as the Scottish government lose again to the courageous ladies of For Women Scotland. This time, the courts have agreed with FWS that there's no case for men to be in women's prisons. #SexMatters

Only call 999 in an emergency. Anything else is irresponsible & risks blocking attention from life-threatening situations. If it is an emergency, do not report to a website which does not pass the information to the police. If you are an MSP, you should be on top of this.

One interesting thing about FWS 3 is the firm position on bright line rules. For years as a lawyer working in the private and commercial law sphere the notion from some that everything needed to be treated case by case bemused me. That's just not how law works ordinarily.

You'll be pleased to learn that we have never received money or support of any kind from the Heritage Foundation. Any more lies you want to make up or do you have something concrete to attack us with?

It's shockingly disingenuous for @scottishtrans.bsky.social to use the case of Riley who was held in solitary because he was resisting moves to the female estate (he wanted to be in the general pop in Perth). STA didn't even attend his case conference. www.scottishtrans.org/statement-on...

Not irrational. Absolutely fundamental. Legislation is passed by a legislature and published. The published final text is what matters primarily rather than subjective views of the multiple people involved in the process. It is the public text that those affected by legislation rely on. They have no

Your starting point was that Melanie Field's view as a policy official was was of greater weight than the original FWS case (the article you referred to was not about fhe original case, but the second case). To pretend that is a factual argument but arguments based on the actual wording of the

In the face of much misinformation (on here) about the type of men who were held in women's prisons, it is helpful to remind ourselves of who they are and what their crimes were. www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/1589660...

They weren't complying with the law, 178] Sex segregation in prisons in Scotland is lawful. The statutory scheme, based on the EA 2010 and the 2011 Rules, requires separate prison accommodation for men and women. Following FWS 2, this means sex segregation in prisons according to biological sex.

A number of those with long experience, including the former governor of Cornton Vale were disregarded and warned about the policy and the adverse impact on the many women with trauma in the prison estate, whose interests were largely disregarded in developing the policy

FWS win on prisons guidance in Scotland. Prison accommodation to be required for men and women based on biological sex. ECHR arguments considered and confer no right to be housed in prisons of the opposite biological sex. Not a surprising decision.

The Scottish Government has lost the case brought by For Women Scotland www.holyrood.com/news/view,tr...

Another court victory for For Women Scotland: genderblog.net/men-in-scott...

A different way? Let's not be coy, what Scottish Trans want is to remove protections for women and LGB people in the Equality Act and allow straight men into our spaces and services. This is patriarchy in a frock.

"None of the clinicians whose care was considered in the investigation were professionally competent to initiate or assume responsibility for prescribing these medications without oversight or support from a specialist gender service." (from Key Findings) www.surreysussex.icb.nhs.uk/ipsi-wellbn-...

NEW: "WellBN GP practice was inappropriately prescribing medications to children and young people for the clinical indication of gender dysphoria.... potential harm has been caused to... 78 children and young people." www.surreysussex.icb.nhs.uk/ipsi-wellbn-...

Great piece by Susanna Rustin which is upsetting all the usual suspects!

Labour's new Health Secretary reverses his past claim that 'trans women are women' as he vows to protect single-sex spaces in NHS trib.al/ULa6Xjc

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/...

'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...

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-...
