Thank the Lord about time.

Hoisted by her own insistence on supporting a minority and throwing women under the bus.

A good day for women everywhere but especially Scotland

Who will replace her?

Gosh, ‘supporting a minority’- how awful 🙄

Prioritising a minority to the actual damage/danger snd trauma to women.

Supporting a minority and the actual expense of the majority is stupid snd wrong

And she has paid the price for calling anyone who had concerns a bigot and a transphobic snd when properly questioned she had no answer.

Karma

I think she's a good politician. The trans stuff has been blown up out of proportion. I dont agree with everything the snp has done at all but i think she's been the best politician here for a long while.

The tories will be partying now.

She might have survived if she had accepted the Amendment to Gender Recognition excluding sex offenders from its provisions. That was a no brainer so I'm afraid it is self inflicted.

I hope she hasn't besmirched the cause of Independence.

As a lesbian woman who was unsafe in England, and as an nhs worker who was burnt out in England, Scotland under NS offered me a home and is my home away from home. The quality of life is far worse in England, OP you seem to prioritise one issue above all else. This is good day for Tories and for the right wing, and that is all. As a lesbian woman my rights are more at risk from the Tories than they ever were by NS.

ssd · 15/02/2023 18:41

Everyone who hates the thought of independence prioritises one issue above all. The tories must thank god every day that the trans issue happened. Ive even seen posts on here from people saying 'at least the tories know what a woman is', as if any tory cares about women or anyone else....unless you are a Michelle Mone type....

Quite. Knew this site would be full of transphobic crowing. Scottish independence? Rather big subject, but no.

Sense at last. A lot of posters don't care about women's rights so much as they hate and fear trans people.

Really? Why? Why are lesbians in danger in the UK?

Show quote history

Fear men not trans people. There, fixed that for you.

And if some of those men happen to be trans identifying, so what? Doesn't stop them being men does it?

This in spades.
Tories will be rubbing their hands with glee that this vitorol and doom mongering has clouded everyone's judgement. Wave goodbye to free prescriptions, uni, good public services and eventually a free NHS. Hope it's all worth it.

@Hdkatznahtw125sgh , I couldn't agree more, well said.

@Happylittlechicken do you really not know? Was the case of the two women on public transport who were attacked by some thugs too long ago for you to Recall?

She prioritised a tiny minority over the safety, dignity and comfort of over half the population. She put the most vulnerable women in society at physical risk by putting violent males in female prisons.

It's about safeguarding women and girls. I can't help you if you don't think we deserve that.

Bloody hell. How many threads. It's like a stuck record on MN these days.

The attack could have easily happened in Scotland.

I’m definitely partying!! 🥂

Isn’t there also some investigation into SNP finances related to her husband? Maybe it’s that which made her walk away?

MissMarplesbag · 15/02/2023 19:15

Completely self inflicted by her tunnel vision over two issues and nowt else.
