Women, by definition, no longer exist in Scotland - What can we do?

Some links below for those not yet in the know.

This has been so upsetting and particularly as it now seems that the gender critical debate is gaining a little traction in England, I want to know what can be done in Scotland.

This is a devolved issue so we have to fight our own fight and I feel like nothing is happening, no discussion is taking place, nobody knows we have been legally redefined to include men. Women no longer exist in Scotland.

Please tell me there is something going on behind the scenes in Scotland to get the conversation under way and fix this?

Can anyone give me hope? I don't know a single person in real life who knew what was going on or who agrees with what the government is doing, I feel like I am in a bad novel.

The SNP really do have a hive mind on so many issues. It's even more dangerous as the lack of an upper house or meaningful committee process means bad legislation doesn't get proper scrutiny.

I noted that the Herald referred to potential named person (another badly planned and implemented policy) involvement. This is even more disturbing. On the other hand, it's gone rather quiet on NP front of late: in the wake of the judicial review, I'm not sure they want to acknowledge its still an ongoing scheme. I know there was a lot of opposition to it at last election so perhaps raising the issue of parents being forced to see children of 12 or younger being potentially sterilized through the intervention of state agents will sharpen minds?

Here's another group of women who will suffer if this idiocy is allowed to continue.

Waddle your MP ignored you because it is a devolved issue.

You can contact all your regional MSPs with one email via www.theyworkforyou.com and also your constituency MSP, via them too.
If your regional MSPs try to tell you that only one of them will respond to you, they are wrong. That is only the case if you are contacting them on a personal or local matter, which this isn't.
