This is a brilliant article. It would be very helpful if people could share it as widely as possible. The debate in Scotland is far from over and we need all the support we can find. Thanks.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

pandafunfactory · 11/07/2020 21:28

I've shared it too. I'm kind of hoping one of my friends will read it and see the light. We campaigned as feminists years ago but she's swallowed the trans kool aid more recently.

Fantastic article. I've come out of the shadows and shared it on my Facebook page, let's see how many people unfriend me! Unfortunately someone I value is deeply embroiled in the gay scene and is of the transwomen are women belief.

Bloody brilliant!

Great that sunlight is being let in.

The Scotsman, and JKR, have traditionally been in the unionist camp. I hope that doesn’t come into it, but just for context.

Great article. Susan Dalgety has written sense before.

PelicanDeuce · 11/07/2020 17:57

Magnificent

JKRisagryff · 11/07/2020 17:54

God, it is so straight to point I was wincing a little bit reading it! We’re so used to people not being allowed to say these types of things Grin

Two great articles. I had no idea that Bea Campbell had given up on the Greens. Their treatment of that 10 year old girl was shocking.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 11/07/2020 17:50

This is excellent Susan Dalgety has written on this issue very very clearly before too.
Only 8 comments but all positive I hope the bloody SNP is reading them.

dementedma · 11/07/2020 17:43

Love it. Clear, succinct and to the point. We need more like this

PuppyLove2000 · 11/07/2020 17:38

Great comments too. Please everyone put comments on for support.

GCGayDad · 11/07/2020 17:00

Thanks @Jeeeez and @SheWhoMustNotBeHeard for the Bea Campbell link. No wonder she left the party after valiantly trying to stick with them. Very sad state of affairs.

I have re-read it several times. It feels more and more like a rallying cry.

Anyone seen any response from MB?

This is a great article, it's factual and reasonable and proper journalism. It's what The Guardian would have printed once upon a time, before they became the trans ideology's Pravda

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 11/07/2020 14:22

Great article.

DuDuDuLangaLangaBingBong · 11/07/2020 14:18

Excellent.

highame · 11/07/2020 14:09

I almost cried. Brilliant.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 11/07/2020 13:43

Oops.

It's the very last sentence

That is a terrifically good article! I love that she is moving the debating points away from fucking toilets to issues like violence and education. It would be great to move the conversation there and just see what these activists have to say about actual feminist campaigns...

It's really important that this message gets across in Scotland as the government are still wanting to push through self-ID in all areas.

UncleShady · 11/07/2020 13:32

Well written.

classicspring · 11/07/2020 13:31

@Cismyfatarse

This is brilliant forwomen.scot/did-you-know/

It lays out all the arguments very clearly, with links.

Those photos alone sum up so much. But when you read through all those facts you would have to question the mentality of those that support this especially any political party.
