Meghan Murphy in the Scottish Parliament

It was a fabulous meeting. Meghan and Bec spoke powerfully and articulately and there was amazing feeling of solidarity in the room, with women from different parties speaking up for women and feminist principles.

Great comments from the women's sector too about the concerns they and service users have.

Seven Hex and Helen Steel were there as well!

Saddened that Mridul has chosen to misrepresent event in this way rather than contributing and trying to have a conversation. Even more disturbed that women who were not there would choose to believe this because it confirms their prejudices, especially Sandy Brindley as this will not reassure women who want to raise concerns with her. Thoroughly inappropriate for the head of Rape Crisis Scotland.

No mention of self ID anywhere:

She works for Rape Crisis Scotland’s and is a trustee of YWCA Scotland. Surely some of Meghan Murphy’s description of Canadian experience would have been of interest, even if she disagreed with it.

I find the idea of a male running a rape crisis centre and making their children call them mother chilling and totally inappropriate. The trans lobby say they don't harm women yet some of them behave like this.
Some jobs should be female only

Her twitter claims she manages a rape crisis centre. Surly that means she is used to listening to others in a non judgemental way, and not centring her feelings.

I understand it must be uncomfortable to hear the perspective of women.

Must be absolutely awful to have failed
in silencing us

Wadwha typically making it all about meeeeee! Looks like this is a preemptive attempt to justify all the eye rolling and sniggering other posters have pointed out MW was doing while concerns about women and children were raised!

Yep you'll find tweets from the speeches under the #MeghanSP hashtag

Sounds like it went well, and there was cross party attendance too from what I can work out. Last I saw Meghan was in the pub enjoying Edinburgh's fine hospitality. Good lass.
