Good. Reading their manifesto represents this as a disgusting waste of money. Don’t feel sorry for all Scottish women. I’m proud to stand with equality for all, not just for me.
It's not for all though is it? It's just for people of the male sex.

"This would not require the person to dress, look or behave in any particular way. However, it would be expected that there would be evidence that the person was continuously living as a woman, such as – always using female pronouns; using a female name on official documents such as a driving licence or passport, or on utility bills or bank accounts; using female titles; updating the gender marker to female on official documents such as a driving licence or passport; describing themselves and being described by others in written or other communication as a woman."

It's such nonsense because you aren't even allowed to ask for evidence of this.

The Act does not require an appointing person to ask a candidate to prove that they meet the definition of woman in the Act.

🙄🙄🙄

This is unbelievable. The Judge has upheld a definition of 'woman' that includes males, and asserted the right of the Scottish Government to decide that words mean whatever they want them to.

Evidence of ones womanly status in Scotland is as follows:

"This would not require the person to dress, look or behave in any particular way. However, it would be expected that there would be evidence that the person was continuously living as a woman, such as – always using female pronouns; using a female name on official documents such as a driving licence or passport, or on utility bills or bank accounts; using female titles; updating the gender marker to female on official documents such as a driving licence or passport; describing themselves and being described by others in written or other communication as a woman."

This is off the chart madness. You can change your sex by using a girly name on your gas bill.

So sorry For Women Scot. Hope you are able to appeal this appalling and dangerous judgment. I'll dig my way to Oz if that helps.

I'm so sorry Scottish Women. It sucks. We all knew how far Scotland had gone down this route thanks to Sturgeon and her shallow will to power. I feel sick but I'm not suprised. FWS will keep fighting I'm sure. It's not over.

Disgraceful.

I hope there will be grounds for appeal.

It’s a raging pile of shite. I’m so upset.

HermioneWeasley · 23/03/2021 12:37

Fuck.

AnaofBroceliande · 23/03/2021 12:35

Sick of this country. Nannied to fuck, except when it comes to women's rights.

Igmum · 23/03/2021 12:34

Gutted.

PearPickingPorky · 23/03/2021 12:32

Women in Scotland are fucked. We have no rights or protections left, they've removed them all by stealth.

We have the Forensic Medical Services Bill saying we can request (but not have) a female examiner after a rape. But that is it. That's it! And that had to be fought to the death for.
