Lot of things as you'd expect ...
"We will consult on the detail of a draft Gender
Recognition Bill by the end of this year, setting
out our proposals to reform the current process of
obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate and how
we will bring Scotland into line with international
best practice."

and

In the year ahead we will take forward the
recommendations of the National Advisory Council
on Women and Girls. We will:
â– â–  create a What Works? Institute to identify, test
and promote best practice in changing public
attitudes to and challenging stereotypes about
women’s and girls’ equality and rights – we will
work with partners to develop a framework for
the Institute and its work by summer next year
â– â–  establish a Gender Beacon Collaborative
to promote gender equality across Scottish
public life – membership and ambitions for the
collaborative will be announced later this year
â– â–  continue to lobby the UK Government to improve
parental leave
â– â–  support work to encourage 50/50 representation
at elections

It er... can't actually be mentioned, but it might be worth looking at the current pinned tweet from MurrayBlackburnMackenzie - @mbmpolicy.

Quite frankly that second part is a pile of virtue signalling meaningless wankpiffle if the SG is determind to continue down the glitter-rainbow path to full-on misogyny that they currently seem to be on.

I mean how do you Create a What Works? Institute to identify, test and promote best practice in changing public attitudes to and challenging stereotypes about women’s and girls’ equality and rights when you don't appear to know that women are adult human females and not also adult human males with special trans feelings.

And "50/50 representation at elections" - would 50 male/50 ma'am be ok?

I am so so sick of the SG and their progressive bs - they can bite my fat one!

'Work with partners'
I wonder which ones.
I work for a women's org and I will be surprised if we're asked as we're not Engender.
Swa and rcs don't poll their membership before making pronouncements either.

But also if I see 'international best practice ' one more time I will possibly vomit
