The planned Scottish Misogyny Act will include TW - this has been confirmed by Helena Kennedy and Humza Yousaf - and its terms of reference were drawn up when Sturgeon was First Minister. Therefore I assume that she includes TW as targets of misogyny when she made these comments.

Val McDermid, also mentioned in the article, has also expressed the view that “womanhood is a tent big enough to accommodate trans women”.

I remember that interview. NS has marketed herself for years as an honest straight talker and that illusion was blown to pieces in that interview as she desperately evaded speaking the truth absolutely everyone knew. He was moved to the male estate as he's a man. It completely exposed the lie that TWAW.

It was such a brilliant interview. Well done that interviewer.

Just fuck off Nicola Sturgeon - how bloody dare you - you caused a lot of this utter shite we are having to deal with now.

I particularly liked “There are so many women that have been mischaracterised and distorted in history. I think it’s important to try to redress that and set the record straight”

How on earth did she keep her face straight when she said that? She doesn’t seem to have the slightest problem with male men mischaracterising and distorting women by claiming womanhood for themselves.

Awa and boil yer heid Nicola.

Sooooo, is this a reverse ferret, have the chickens come home to roost or is there another animal simile afoot?

What a prat.

Thanks @RealFeminist . Absolutely brilliant.
Rapist-gender must never be forgotten.

Womanhood is a tent big enough to accommodate Kim Kardashian and trans women, according to Val McDermid, the crime writer, who claims that concern about transge

She still "helping the police with their enquiries" ?

ComfyButFrumpy · 03/05/2024 15:16

I'm voting yabu for mentioning her. I thought she was long gone!

I think we all have a right to rehabilitation, but normally the first step is to admit you've fucked up.

But she has always presented herself as a feminist. And she has actually practically supported this by giving mentoring support in her own time, even whilst FM, to young women.

To NS, there never was a conflict between GI and being a feminist.

There are other women who think similarly. I genuinely can't understand it. Its one of the most nonsensical and contradictory positions I can imagine.

DoreenonTill8 · 03/05/2024 15:10

@RealFeminist come and enlighten us with your pearls of wisdom....😆
