No it just shows that snp supporters don’t care about women but I think we all knew that already.

Violent boys are even more of a problem if they are in girls toilets as well as their classrooms.

and who said anything about Reform who will not deliver anything that they headline!
instead of telling us not to think about this tell your politicians to stop pushing it if it is so unimportant

Is there a thread that anti trans people won’t try to take over?

Their majority has been slashed to the point where they have very little power.

Yes, they'll win. Just. But they need to address the reasons why they've failed to remain so popular.

The last election had the highest turn out in the history of the Scottish Parliament . SNP won.

Reform will come second according to polls and a good chance of winning at Westminster in a couple of years

All you care about is toilets it is really depressing. Meanwhile the world burns.

The party you blame for these things are set to win a majority in May which does suggest it’s a minority issue does it not?

Actually some of the worst affected women are those who are worst off. Female prisoners for example being housed with men who claim to be women. Women who lose their jobs because of speaking out on this issue will also suffer difficulties. If this issue is so luxury and unimportant you would think that your favourite parties would just drop their attempts to remove single sex spaces and force us to accept that people can change sex. Why don’t you suggest that to them instead ?

Scotland is in the UK. How can it subsidise itself. Honestly if you don't understand that you shouldn't vote.

What argument do you think you're responding to?

CurdinHenry · 12/04/2026 20:51

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 12/04/2026 20:42

Get a grip you luxury issue loons!

The erosion of women's rights is not a "luxury issue" FFS.

It's very much a luxury issue if your family is hungry, unemployed and unprotected from sickness and crime.

YellingAway · 12/04/2026 20:48

@Differentforgirls As I suspected, the only part of my post picked up in my post was that in relation to Trans. There are huge issues in Scotland including how close we were to allowing trans people to have unmitigated access to womens spaces. They need spaces and support as they will have their own issues but my post considers many other areas for my concern.

The Tories want to cut taxes to the point where there won't be a functioning state

Who cares if men can go in women's public spaces if there are no public spaces?

Get a grip you luxury issue loons!

Hardly a persuasive argument!

I can hardly believe I’m writing this but for the first time in my life I am contemplating voting for my current Conservative MP. I’m another politically homeless (former Labour). I spoilt my ballot at the last GE. My local MP does a good enough job so my vote is purely on that basis. And yes, the “woman” issue and single sex spaces are a factor for me too.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 12/04/2026 20:28

@GaiaGarden I've also vaguely thought of possibly voting for the Conservative at the election but I just can't!

Right, I've checked out the two Independents. One is more right-wing than the actual Tory, so he's a no-no.

I've sent a message to the other, to discover what his policies are.

I know … I feel the same. Spoiling my ballot last time felt wrong as I’ve voted all my life and women fought and died for the right to vote I have. I do think there’s something to be said for choosing on the basis of local performance.
