The assumption that everyone who is gc is just a meanie who doesn’t know any of the “nice trans people” is ludicrous. I grow so tired of people assuming you must be ignorant just because you hold a different view to them.

"transphobia" is the only type of phobia/ism that needs to mention what it's like every time to strengthen it up. You never here people have to explain what Racism or homophpbia is "like" it's enough to just say it on it's own. I wonder why that is? .............

Off her trolley. And bloody abusive.

Also, I'd love to know where all these $$$$ from right-wing Americans are going. Not my bank account, that's for sure.

Most frustrating of all is that the trans issue is one where there clearly are multiple sides and multiple view points. We need to talk about women's spaces, and about how society should handle trans kids. There is obviously nuance here.

I don't expect the media to always have a 100% GC person on every time, but it's clearly not false balance to have on a normal person who thinks "Well, they can please themselves in their own lives but lets not transition 4 year olds". And yet they cant have such dangerous ideas being voiced.

Censored? She wants women who say human beings cannot change sex to be censored?

If she publicly equates stating biological facts with bigoted ideology then is also going to publicly apologise when forced to see the end product if her idiocy?

The balance is about those transwomen, as linked to, who give the lie to gentle etc. Just like any other violent man!

I really don't think these sorts of arguments make the Scot Greens look good. It makes them look nuts.

Lorna Slater’s rant helping to take the heat out of the debate! Are the Scottish Greens so terrified of women asking questions and talking about scientific facts that they need them to be silenced? She sounds dangerous and not fit to be an MSP.

‘She has called for feminists who oppose the legal changes to be censored after claims that false balance is being introduced to the argument.

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

I’m disgusted at the level of intolerance in the Scottish Greens.

Gentle and hardworking? Like this lovely lady, for example?

“These gentle, hardworking women are being portrayed as if they are inherently dangerous. It couldn’t be further from the truth,”

Well they are not women so that bit is not true

As for "inherently dangerous" they are just being portrayed as being the same danger as any other males so occasionally a bit of sensible safeguarding is applied.

If the Conservatives lose the next General Election, one likely outcome is a Labour-SNP coalition government. If we get that, then both parts will feel that after years to employing trans activism they'll have massive debts to pay to trans activists. My blood runs cold when I think about the kinds of new laws we might get.

Well yes. Those who have no arguments do tend to use lazy slurs.

Gosh, she really hates women doesn’t she?
