Susan Dalgety in the Scotsman

'what started as a controversial position in a few liberal American universities is now mainstream thinking in the Scottish government. And no dissent, it seems, is allowed.

Women who argue that biology is real and that our sex is the basis of inequality are dismissed as bigots'

@setthecontrols

And look what's coming up soonWink
I actually called my mum the other day and told her to take down my suffragette ribbons I’d left in the window of my room from when I lived there, lest she get arrested. She indignantly asked “what, for Wimbledon colours?!” Grin

@NiceGerbil

It's seriously about a ribbon?!

I mean there's been been so much stuff that is ???

Don't the police realise how bad this looks when women are threatened left right and centre all the time on Twitter? Twitter FFS! My guess is there's plenty of real life crime going on, how do they imagine this looks to the public?

Have they lost their senses???

I mean not to mention all the hooha with the new law, women saying it could target us, and why isn't hate against us on the table...

It's not even in law yet is it.

I mean what the actual fuck do these coppers think they're doing? How can they possibly think that

A. It won't be widely reported after all the controversy
And
B. It won't make them look totally worryingly ridiculous
And
C. That they are in the pocket of someone somewhere somehow

It starts to make sense when you realise that our government institutions (and private companies) have been captured/possessed by Stonewall ideology. These institutions now examine our assertion that biological women are women through a distorted Stonewall lens. This is why it has become hate speech for women to pronouce "woman: noun - adult human female" or post photo of the 'wrong sort' of ribbon and get dragged through the court system.

Post a pic of your feminist plant arrangements! (or should this be in 'gardening'?Grin

Set - your garden looks lovely! Coincidently, my DP bought some petunias earlier today to put in hanging baskets. He said he chose them for their pretty colours, which happened to be violet and white. Together with their dark green leaves, I think they will make a very satisfactory statement indeed.

setthecontrols · 06/06/2021 16:37

Thank you bothSmile

WouldBeGood · 06/06/2021 14:45

Love the garden @setthecontrols. I’m inspired!

I have some from Posie - www.adulthumanfemale.store/stickers-pdfs?page=2

And I like printing my own Grin (That book/map protector sticky plastic stuff is excellent to protect them from rain)

Not in Scotland, but was at a Covid vaccination centre this morning. We were given coloured stickers to show whether we were to be funnelled into the AZ queue or the Pfizer queue.

The colours of the stickers: purple or green Grin

setthecontrols · 06/06/2021 12:29

I have badges and a more subtle way of supporting the cause...

Thanks @Igneococcus. That’s a great and reasonable article and I’m glad to see it in the mainstream press.
