Yes, can confirm the rally is now cancelled. Or at least delayed. It will happen but the replacement date, as you can imagine, needs to be discussed with speakers and find out when Holyrood returns to normal.

Do you think the Queen dying will have an impact on this protest next week? I’m reading that ‘Operation Unicorn’ is going to have a massive impact on Edinburgh next week

And the next speaker to be announced is Isabelle Kerr, speaking about VAWG, with a long history of working in rape crisis support.

"Never expected Sturgeon to have turned out to be such a man pleasing, destroyer of women's rights!"

Never expected to agree with Sturgeon on anything but she is doing a great jobs standing up for trans people and against transphobia - go, Nic!

Naw you bampot, Elsie McSelfie, wee paddy & Maggie the loon etc are not going to get any further with destroying the rights of women and children.
Maybe you should start think when you support a parcel ‘o rogues who want to sterilize & disfigure young people and children.

Just a quick heads up that network rail are on strike on the 15th again so anyone planning on going by train will most likely need to make other arrangements

Suffragette tartan is back in stock if anyone would like to get hold of a lovely scarf or wrap ahead of the protest. I'll be wearing mine if it's not too warm.

I'm going to try and come up from Dawn Saff for this as being a Scottish wummin, my heart is breaking for what is going on for women and girls in my home country. Never expected Sturgeon to have turned out to be such a man pleasing, destroyer of women's rights! Absolutely horrendous!

And the next in the line-up is Catherine Heseltine, who has been fighting the Let Our Sisters Swim campaign, to keep a female only open swimming pond remain female only.
Still a couple more to be announced.

Can I get back to you later on this week about a meeting place?

Agreed.

The eejit has no other posts or comments other than to derail this type of conversation. See you there! And yes to pub.

My point is they already have more rights than anyone else.

No other group of privileged people can choose to wear the costume of an oppressed class and demand recognition for it.

I can disagree with it in concept but understand that in a democratic society compromises need to be made.

Allowing males into women's spaces with no safeguarding at all makes a mockery of single sex spaces and all the women who need them for personal safety, dignity, privacy, religious, and cultural reasons.

Where's the compromise in that? Why are the personal needs of a bloke to have his fantasies validated above prevention of harm to women? In many cases, a white bloke over the needs of ethnic and religious minority women?

A compromise needs to be made and single sex spaces need to have the right to exist.
