Rhiannon Spear is the new Women's Convenor for the SNP

Love by the sword. You can’t call a load of people c*s (on social media - where things never disappear) and expect it to lie do you?

She's now posted a big long thread about how she's always been respectful and everyone's being mean to her, wah wah wah.

So you didn't call women with concerns terfs, transphobes and "Jeremy Hunts" then?

She's definitely not very bright.

Wonder what Rhiannon thinks happened to those poor transmen raped for existing while in possession of female biology near a man who felt entitled to use it, and sobbed to their rapist that they identified as men? Their gender was male as far as they were concerned. It didn't make any difference. Because biological females cannot identify out of the oppression that comes with their biology.

You utter coward, Rhiannon.

If she's not oppressed by her sex but her gender, why doesn't she just identify her way out of her gender?

How can someone be that stupid?

Got to say, in terms of putting the kibosh on women's suffrage, engineering a situation where politically engaged women find themselves either unable to vote or on a ridiculous treadmill to uphold the very basis of their rights as a whole is quite a strategy. I don't think the fuckers planned it, because I think most bad situations come about through a combination of laziness, complacency and downright stupidity, but a planned disenfranchisement could hardly have been more effective.

I think we need to know what the definition of trans woman is from the SNP.

Someone with a GRA?

Someone non binary with a male body?

Phillip Bunce or Danielle Muscado? Gregor Murray?

This does not reflect the majority opinion of the SNP. Rhiannon got a grand total of 210 votes. Single Transferable Vote system means votes were transferred to candidates in stages from candidates with lowest votes. Rhiannon didn't 'win' until stage 5. Colette got the most votes, and would have been clear winner with FPTP.

This is a small clique within SNP driving things. Women (and men) in the SNP are starting to realise what's happened (finally) and are speaking out about it. The tide is turning on this. There's a Womens Pledge on the go, pledging to uphold women's rights as they stand in current law. It's got 2,500 signatures, and is now being widely circulated. I'm staying with the SNP, I think they generally do well for Scotland, and I was there before this woke crowd. I don't have a viable alternative to vote for, so I'd rather stay and help fix it.

Oh and the women on MN are the ones running to butter, and away from plastic spread!

Where are you seeing anti trans and anti Scottish here ?

What a fucking disappointment this news is

By the way this is a breathtaking amount of anti-Scottish hate going here. Not surprised that sponsors are running the other way from this

Not supporting the SNP or criticising the SNP is not being "anti-Scottish"

I'm Scottish. I detest the SNP- Like Babdoc I'm happy to see anything which spoils their chances, but I don't see anything anti-Scottish on here.

"Do it to Julia" shall be the whole of the law.

@Babyjakesmum
Someone has a vivid imagination don't they?
What do TRA always have to tell lies all the clucking time?
This isn't a game.

Fraggling, I can only conclude she is a woman who loves to hurt women. 😢 Just desperately treacherous.

'Does she have any explanation for why in some cultures XX babies are selectively aborted?'

Because they're too stupid to identify out of it.

Presumably ditto for all the other shit that's done to us around the world.

So she believes that girls and women are oppressed globally in a variety of ways because they are too stupid to identify out of it, or they like it.

When isis come and they take the girls and rape them and kill boys. How does she explain that. Are they choosing based on invisible thoughts on the head? Or by who is feminine and who is masculine?

It is enraging that women, women are saying these things. What is this idiots response to it all? It doesn't matter? What? I'd fucking love to know.

Between this and the latest stunt from Mhairi Black, I certainly won’t be voting SNP again.

Awful woman. Malicious or stupid or weak? I just can't decide. And that goes for her supporters too.

By the way why don’t you just report the transphobic and Scottish hate 🤦‍♀️

Women and girls are not oppressed due to their sex.

Does she have any explanation for why in some cultures XX babies are selectively aborted?

Women are oppressed by gender because of our sex.

If women were only oppressed because of our gender, transmen would be immune ... they aren't.

Excellent News. I voted her number 1, so pleased at the outcome. ... by the way...

By the way this is a breathtaking amount of anti-trans, (and anti-Scottish) hate going here. Not surprised that sponsors are running the other way from this.

It’s awful really awfu for her.

She would have been great and am not a snp voter but I follw her on twitter and I liked her a lot

littlbrowndog That is a rather damning indictment, innit?

So much for SNP's "diversity" agenda!

This from Collette walker who lost to the woman who doesn’t know what a woman is.
I hope she gets some money back. Inclusive diverse. Only for the well off people

As I had to take my sight guide with me 4 days/3 nights , paying per hour ( even when asleep ) hired a flat /travel/food/drink ... overall cost for me to go to conference £ 1300, no help from party at all , struggled to even give me an accessible seat near front !!

Women and girls are not oppressed due to their sex.

Well fuck you rhiannon.

Not just throwing women and girls all over the world under a bus but kicking them in the face while they're down.

It seems there is now a backlash building against the women who have resigned in view of these new appointments. SNP men are angry.

I find myself wondering whether they voted for men’s rights thinking that the men would make more fuss if they didn’t get their way, and now they are shocked that women are no longer capitulating as they expected.

Stand firm women. Keep pulling. All men, all politicians have to see that women are not going to bow down.

Rhiannon is magnificently dim.
If someone of that ilk had to get the post I'm partly glad it was Ms Spear. They'll run rings around her.
