@DrAllyCat
So transwomen shouldn’t have to share with males… but females should?
That’s your argument?
Fight all you want, the general public are not behind you 🤷🏻♂️
The point of subscription TV is that the programming is funded by subscriptions, not ads.
Ad free with subscription, or free with ads… but subscription AND ads? That is not the model for me

@DerecThompson
I don’t think you understand the actual debate 🤷🏻♂️
It is not about being arrested, it is about having incidents, which are not criminal, logged against people which they have not been informed about which can appear on a disclosure check and be used against them in recruitment

He and his label are entitled to milk as much as they can, while they can, but we all know it will come to an end at some point and he will just be a rich gay man 🤷🏻♂️

David Tennat is an excellent actor, but very poor clinician
I suspect he believes in the affirmation model, the question is… what does he do when a large study conducted by experts in the area is published which shows it not only to ‘not be good’, but is actively harmful?
@perisceris
Friendly tip: in order to dismantle an opponents argument, you first must understand their argument
Your post shows that you don’t understand you opponents (‘terfs’) arguments.
And so everything thereafter is flawed.
Well done for trying, but maybe try thinking a bit harder 🤷🏻♂️

One of the biggest flaws in instructor led training is the assumption from attendees that the trainer is an expert in the subject.
It is rarely the case.
@JamesEsses
If he had confidence that the stances Stonewall have taken were reasonable, the interview would have been a breeze for him, he could have answered each question directly
The fact he couldn’t, and that even his skirting round the issues took mental gymnastics speaks wonders
@zarahsultana
Passing this bill, in its current form, is not a good thing for either women, or the trans community.
It is a poor bill, pushed through against the wishes of the electorate, and should rightly be stopped.

@MhairiHunter
So your argument is that the ferries and schedules are good enough for the general population, but not good enough for MSPs?
Hmmm… not a great argument, is it?
@sharper76
The Cass review argues for more care for troubled kids
It does not support the affirmation model however.
If this child was receiving affirmation for their confusion, it may have been a factor in their ultimate decision.
People who affirmed her have a lot to answer for

Why are the SNP only interested in independence when elections are upcoming?
It is always ‘if you don’t vote for us you won’t get indy’
Then they are voted in, and do nothing

So perhaps now we can concede that either some trans people are sex pests…. Or some sex pests will use trans as cover…. Or both statements are true.
This is a statement of fact.
I wonder how that argument for reducing safeguards is holding up 🤷🏻♂️
@KatyMontgomerie
Noone should be assaulted
But ‘War’
‘Fighting for trans rights’
‘Decapitate terfs’
‘No debate’
Perhaps it’s is the narrative set by trans rights activists which is the problem, Many behave like aggressive, misogynistic, immature males
Male on male violence is a problem

I am fortunate enough to be a higher rate taxpayer.
I am happy to pay tax when I know it is well spent.
Under the SNP I pay increasingly more tax, and get increasingly poorer services.
If people like me move over the border… Scotland is broke.
It’s getting close

Are you in a flag for woman’s day, or disability awareness week?
How about the LGB flag?
Mostly, straight white men are already visible.
In Scotland, just this week, disabled children were removed from school photos.
How about supporting the most vulnerable in society?

@The_Waterfront
I would love to do a blackface story hour
It would involve me ‘blacking up’ to parody people of colour, and I would then perform a series of regressive stereotypical behaviours whilst reading Huckleberry Finn
Can you confirm whether you have any dates available for this?

Hopefully you have learned that

Well done for correcting the record, even though you still dont see which side has tried to politicise the report (look to trans activists)
@JayneOzanne
The UK is extremely pro LGB.
We have a noisy bunch of trans activists who say society is awful because we believe in safeguarding women and children, but acceptance and inclusion of LGB is pretty much world leading 🤷🏻♂️
@ArtemisRising81
Staff/partners didn’t get a bonus because JL underperformed but spent money on driving customers away

If they are the best person, then they should get the vote

@iain_w_anderson
As far as I can see, very few people wish to remove the rights of trans people.
But many people do not believe that safeguarding should be lowered to make a small minority feel better.
Looking forward to seeing stonewall start to respect single sex relationships and spaces.
@Wommando
@UKLabour
The electorate: “do you support single sex services?”
Eddie Izzard: “the electorate are transphobic”
That, in a nutshell (sic.) is why he was not shortlisted in Sheffield or Brighton.
He is arrogant and did not engage with legitimate concerns.
Who’d want him as MP?!?
@kayla_denker_02
Yep, it came from the president himself, you really are that important 🙄
Or… Perhaps… don’t passively aggressively threaten people on social media with guns. If you do, you may, correctly, be held to account

No one cares what he wears.. in fact, a guy in a dress is progressive.
It is offensive that he says because he wears lipstick and a dress, he is a woman.
It is akin to me putting on boot polish and saying I am black.

By ‘live as a woman’ do you mean eating chocolate, watching Bridget Jones, and carrying a handbag?

I am pleased that the word ‘intolerance’ was used.
After all, those opposing the screening were displaying bigotry (in the literal sense)

Her disingenuous reframing of the actual question shows that she simply couldn’t answer the substance.

Good riddance to Mhari
A toxic, divisive, ineffective, hypocritical, horror of a politician
@Humanistforindy
Perhaps you would feel differently if someone reported you for this post.
Not because there is anything wrong with ‘cis’, but because they see it as a slur and have taken offence.
They then report you, and a hate incident is recorded against you, but the police don’t tell you
@crystalwillseeu
Statistically significant as it doubled on the previous year
And for all 83 of those children, they will experience irreversible harm
Perhaps you don’t care, but others do.
You don’t have the moral high ground here

A systematic, multi year review, carried out by clinical experts says that many children have been harmed, and outcomes for others are unknown.. your response is to attack anyone who wants to now review policy?

Interestingly, the next three callers.. all gay men, stated their lived experience is that (thankfully) homophobia is dropping, and two suggested that gender ideology is dangerous.
@Pollik
Because some kids going onto puberty blockers are actually just confused LGB kids who will grow up to be healthy and happy without PB’s and conversion therapy
@leah_stalker
Inclusivity would be wearing lanyards to show support for disabled people. People of colour, victims of domestic violence etc.
Wearing only rainbow lanyards/laces is, by definition, exclusionary 👍🏼

That is not what gender critical people say though.
If you have to make stuff up to make your point, perhaps your point is not that strong

Looking at this objectively, I am not seeing Jews marching in the streets asking for Muslims to be killed

If his response is that evidence is being gathered, he should be asked why Scottish kids are being experimented on.
It is not the place of

to put any cohort of the population at harm, let alone kids, as a political game
@naoarte1
The worst thing trans done was conflate transsexuals with transvestites
Hence increase in governments stepping back from affirmation models and an increasing proportion of population showing less acceptance of trans people in polls
Perhaps you have evidence of your bold claim?
@GraemetsmithT
@theSNP
‘A withdrawal agreement drawn up’ is very different to ‘ a withdrawal will be initiated’
Sadly, a vote for the SNP will not deliver independence, but it will allow Humza to say there is support for his hate crime bill and the erosion of women’s rights.
No thank you.
@TheFamousArtBR
Ah, but I read a meme which says that they ignored the evidence. I don’t understand what it meant, but it fits my beliefs.
So therefore the 4 year independent systematic review by a leading paediatrician is clearly wrong.
@sullivansa1
@RishiSunak
Transitioning for some is not conversion therapy.
But, for many it is.
Literally converting kids from gay to ‘straight’ via medication and regressive gender stereotyping.
You should do a bit more reading on this topic (and not just the stuff pushed by mermaids/stonewall) 🤷🏻♂️
@runthinkwrite

@HelenWebberley
The ‘study’ (conducted by those who sell the procedures) only counts regret as those who requested surgery reversal.

Having a diagnosis prevents bad actors from simply self IDing and then causing bad press and less acceptance for genuine trans people.
