However it says everything. It's all down there. They've recorded all the relevant points, they can't say they weren't told or didn't know, and they have clear evidence of what the concerns are and that women are ready to act if they take action that is damaging to women's rights.
Totally agree with this.
Yes, the aim was to get the consultation done on the QT (we know this was a deliberate tactic from the report from the “Still Here” conference).
And this tactic worked. We know from several opinion polls that the Scottish (or rUK) public is not in favour of self id, therefore this consultation is not representative.
But it doesn’t really matter because the salient points have all been raised.
I think it is extremely important to draw attention to just how out of step the supposed “women’s” organisations in Scotland are with women’s concerns.
Engender should be on the front line, representing these concerns from women, instead they are firmly in the pocket of the trans orgs. They are not fit for purpose. They had one job and have failed, dismally, to consult and properly represent the views of women.
