"If [feminists] are right, then women’s sex-based rights and the safeguarding of vulnerable children hang in the balance. If we are wrong, then our concerns deserve to be refuted with evidence. Either way... the public deserve an open and sensible debate."

"Why on earth would you wish to make it easier for men to ‘abuse a system to attack women’? At some point even a first minister as stubborn and intellectually incurious as Nicola Sturgeon will have to answer."

Scenes. In spite of all careful precautions, the First Minister has been accidentally exposed to some freedom of speech. Heads will surely roll.

I've got that written down somewhere but I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll see whether I can dig it out (might be in the attic). https://t.co/vPKI3faE4l

Incredible. The Harry Potter audiobooks have now been listened to for over one billion hours on Audible - the equivalent of going through Hogwarts 14,000 times. Thank you, Stephen Fry and Jim Dale, for being the voice of so many childhoods 🪄

I'd say this is unbelievable, but of course it isn't. When our First Minister attends an event about male violence towards women and girls, the last thing she wants is some uppity woman mentioning the importance of female-only refuges or crisis centres.

RT @omid9: One for the history books:  
Six women escort a woman out of a stadium at #WorldcupQatar2022 simply for wearing a T-shirt that stands for the freedom of women. Remember this moment girls. One of the most ironic and iconic images of #IranRevolution #MahsaAmini #OpIran  https://t.co/aXM3IpsZ4f

RT @Rachael2Win: I have written to Nicola Sturgeon urging her to suspend the GRR Bill.

Parliament must take evidence from the United Nations expert on violence against women and girls, @UNSRVAW.

Women's rights and safety are at risk. The Scottish Government must listen. https://t.co/HhgqmeaJ9W

RT @lnmackenzie1: One of the UK's leading campaigners on violence against women and girls is barred from joining the Labour party. Yes, you read that right. https://t.co/OVJev3LooL

Meanwhile @ScottishLabour continues to ignore public opinion, criticism from both the UN and the EHRC and widespread opposition from women in its own ranks and supports Sturgeon, meaning that the Tories have been handed an open goal on safeguarding ‍♀️ 3/3

The UN special rapporteur on violence against women, Reem Alsalem, has written to Sturgeon to voice serious concerns about the proposed bill, yet the woman who considers herself 'feminist to my fingertips' has treated the criticism as an impertinence. 2/3

Scathing (and rightly so) piece from @soniasodha on @NicolaSturgeon's controversial proposed gender recognition bill. 1/3

RT @AlinejadMasih: Tonight, in #Mashhad, girls and boys are marching shoulder to shoulder chanting « Khamenei’s regime will be gone this year ».

No matter what the regime does, people aren’t scared. They’re putting their lives in danger for #IranRevolution.
