Lorna Slater called out in the Telegraph

What hate?

Seriously, what hate? There has not been a single trans or NB person murdered in Scotland since devolution and records began.

3 women a week, though...apparently not hate.

What is WRONG with her?

embarrassingly

"Trans rights and women’s rights are not in conflict, as all humans have the same human rights. The human rights of minority groups should not be open to debate and interpretation, they should be accepted."

Says a Scottish Minister who is legally illiterate. Its just embarrassing poor the lack of knowledge as to how human and equality rights work in practice

This from slater to me

Good afternoon,

Thank you for writing to me about your concerns.

Myself, and the Scottish Green Party, wholeheartedly support the rights of trans people including that of self-identification. Trans rights and women’s rights are not in conflict, as all humans have the same human rights. The human rights of minority groups should not be open to debate and interpretation, they should be accepted.

The Scottish Greens stand firmly for inclusive, intersectional feminism which recognises the intersectional nature of power which creates additional barriers for women facing multiple discriminations. You can read more about this here: greens.scot/womens-pledge.

In the recent cooperation agreement between the Scottish Greens and the Scottish Government we agreed to reform the Gender Recognition act to establish a more straightforward system for obtaining legal gender recognition for trans people. I believe that trans people should not have to go through a degrading, traumatic and intrusive process to be legally recognised in their gender.

I hope that you agree that we must do more to improve the lives of the trans community who have been the target of a hate campaign for the past few years.

Regards,

Lorna Slater MSP

I thought it was just me Domesticated

What a cheeky wee tube she is. Never even got voted in got in on list

Earns 98 grand as biodiversities minister

She can fuck right off.

What about to ordinary women in Scotland. Are we not gentle and hardworking

She is so elitist. Knows nowt about the day to day life from her ivory tower telling us women what to do and what to say and think

She is a priggish virtuous waste of our money.

And where my far right money. Am waiting

the beavers will be dancing in the streets of Cumbernauld tonight.

“Gentle hard working women” why do TWAW politicians always talk about TW like they’re some startled anxious woodland creature? They’re always gentle, kind, shy, quiet - obviously so much better at womaning than the boring old cunty type of women who get sweary & angry 🙄

herds of beavers, ROAMING across the plains ...

She really doesn’t want a bunch of wild beavers.

I mean, we already have wild beavers in several sites in Scotland, so I don't know why she thinks this is a new thing.

People with beavers say no, Lorna

Also 'She is “very excited” about beavers returning to the wild.'

People with beavers say no, Lorna.

Here's the section from that Yahoo aritcle:

'Trans rights

ALONGSIDE the environment, Greens have championed trans rights. Slater sees a difference between the Scottish Government and SNP on the issue. “The Scottish Government is in the right place, absolutely. It’s openly supportive of trans rights,” she says. The Gender Reform Act will pass, she promises. Referring to the backlash against the trans community, Slater adds: “It’s been absolutely heartbreaking. Awful. Hideous.” Greens are standing some trans candidates for local election and Slater says she’s “genuinely afraid for their safety”, adding: “These gentle, hardworking women are being portrayed as if they’re inherently dangerous. It couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Today’s atmosphere, she says, is reminiscent of 1990s America and “ridiculous bathroom laws”. She says: “Just let people get on with their lives. My understanding is that there’s money in this from certain right-wing American groups that’s been flooding into organisations in the UK.”

False balance is being introduced, Slater believes, adding that the BBC “only recently stopped putting on climate deniers because they required balance. We wouldn’t put balance on the question of racism or anti-Semitism, but we allow this fictional notion of balance when it comes to anti-trans [views]. The whole thing is disgusting.”

Polls show a large majority of the public, and women specifically, support trans rights. Slater doesn’t care what “Daily Mail” readers think.'

What was that question once very popular on MN? As I recall, it involved an adhesive substance.

Something? Aye she definitely is.
