Not sure what the deal is with individual responses. None published. Maybe the SG don't publish them as a matter of course or everyone opted not to have them in the public domain.

So sorry socio. So so sorry that a man did that vile man

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/08/2018 13:29

It'll be interesting to see the summary of individual responses.

Im thankful for the few churches and christian orgs, plus Critical Sisters, who have put their neck on the line and publically said "No"

Spikypants · 22/08/2018 13:27

The Govt need to listen to the voices of ACTUAL WOMEN who have taken the time to respond, not the responses of organisations who are under financial duress to say they support self ID.

Take Engender for example. Virtually all of their funding is from the govt. They and all the other organisations saying yes to these harmful proposals know that money can be easily taken away which would lead to slashing services, job losses and even potential closure.

It’s awful. And the Government will use these organisations replies as proof that self id is a great idea because look at all these womens organisations who agree. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE BUT TO AGREE!!!

I think I'd rather have NO rape crisis centres than one where I am forced to share my "safe" space with someone who bears the exact same genitalia that forcibly ripped my vagina apart and tore my anal passage.

Theinconstantgardener · 22/08/2018 13:20

I had to stop reading . Just too depressing. And frankly losing funding should not be a reason to support such garbage

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/08/2018 13:14

Terrifying isn't it, seeing all of these organisations merrily chucking women under the bus with apparently no critical thought whatsoever...

Spikypants · 22/08/2018 13:14

I’m willing to bet that behind closed doors none of these organisations, with the exception perhaps of the witless career feminist handmaidens who work there, support self id. But they will lose vital funding if they are seen to speak out.

sociopathsunited · 22/08/2018 13:09

Amnesty International.

Amnesty Fucking International believe it's okay to have a woman sharing a cell in prison with a person who retains their male genitalia.

Jeezuswept.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/08/2018 13:09

Scottish Women's Aid supports self ID

AFAIK a lot of Scottish charities need to be "inclusive" to receive funding

littlbrowndog · 22/08/2018 13:09

Cowards cowards cowards

Don’t give 2 flying fucks about women and girls

SorryAuntLydia · 22/08/2018 13:09

Critical Sisters I salute you.

sociopathsunited · 22/08/2018 13:08

Women's Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre supports self ID

Come and get it boys, traumatised women lined up and waiting, just for you!

Christonabike. Beam me up Scotty, this planet is fucked.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 22/08/2018 13:08

A fucking rape crisis centre has agreed

I think Rape Crisis Scotland has a transwoman involved in the organisation somewhere

sociopathsunited · 22/08/2018 13:04

Scottish Women's Aid supports self ID.

Shoot me now. Seriously, what is the fucking point????

sociopathsunited · 22/08/2018 13:00

and Leap Sports Scotland. Kiss goodbye to any hope of sporting success for your girls, folks. The "woke" are here to make sure only boys and men win.

sociopathsunited · 22/08/2018 12:57

Fuck's sake. A fucking rape crisis centre has agreed. What a load of sexist, pathetic, grovelling twaddle.

MountainWitch · 22/08/2018 12:56

The Lesbian Rights Alliance is firmly GC. Which cheered me up a bit after reading by local council's response and that of the Edinburgh Rape Crisis centre, both very accepting of changes to the GRA Sad

I filled this out at length, so I hope it's published.

Wanderabout · 22/08/2018 12:52

Other than for removing personal details such as an address, I was told swear words, incitement of violence, or defamation would be redacted.

Hmmm well if they are GC groups we will find out if there's been inappropriate censorship because they'll be able to tell us themselves.

That combined with the mystery of the disappearing FOI would be a bit of a scandal, if it has happened.

I do wonder if it's requests for anonymity or individuals' details in examples though.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 22/08/2018 12:52

defamation would be redacted.

I wonder what counts as defamation in this context.

littlbrowndog · 22/08/2018 12:48

I fecking hate my government. HATE THEM

BetsyM00 · 22/08/2018 12:47

Other than for removing personal details such as an address, I was told swear words, incitement of violence, or defamation would be redacted.

But it looks to me to be more than that.

littlbrowndog · 22/08/2018 12:47

Glasgow feminists. Just for ffs.

Nicola Williams fair play for women. Excellent

So far that is all I have read.

Glasgow feminists blah blah blah blah. Ffs

Wanderabout · 22/08/2018 12:41

Why would GC responses be redacted? Anonymity?
