Judy Murray, Scotland's most eminent Women's Tennis Coach, posted a link to an article on Twitter from Scottish newspaper, The National, about the importance of learning the lessons about the impact of transgenderism on women in Canada, with a particular emphasis on the Meghan Murphy saga and Rose McGowan's apology.
In response, Glasgow SNP councillor and Glasgow University law student Rhiannon Spear immediately scolded her for sharing an article that was "transphobic and 14 years out of date with Scottish Law and Society" and proceeded to ask her if she'd read the article in its entirety or just the headline.
She was met with an onslaught of criticism for the sanctimonious and patronising tone of her tweet (for implying Murray shared something she hadn't read) and the implicit ageism (suggesting she was out of touch with modern Scottish atitudes) and misogyny (assuming she didn't fully understand what she had tweeted because, if she did, then presumably she wouldn't identify with it because of the fact she's a woman) in her tweets. She was also admonished for being out-of-touch with, and completely failing to comprehend, the relevant legislation she accused Murray of being out of step with. The responses to her have restored my faith in normal Scots and UK people, but her response to those criticisms terrifies me.
In her response from various GC feminists asking her the usual comebacks, she has taken to using Kardashian speak in her rebuttals (e.g., saying that GC feminism is wack because it reduces womanhood to genitalia and reproductive ability (wrong of course, but still). Then when a Scottish journalist replied that reducing womanhood to genitalia was already happening as a direct result of transactivism, not GC feminism, she accused the journo of whipping up a mob, using the term 'wild' to describe the response of the journo. Yet another instance of Kardashian speak. And on her own Twitter feed, after a pitiful attempt to garner sympathy for herself and smear GC women, she finished with "Thank you, next" - the title of Ariana Grande's new song.
So this is where we're currently at in Scottish politics: using the wisdom of the Kardashians and Ariana Grande to bat off any legitemate public scrutiny.
Worst still, this is simply curtain climbing as this woman is part of the TIE campaign in Scotland, which seeks to promote gender ideology in our schools. The thought of this woman having any influence on our kids makes me either want to cry or scream. She is not a malign figure in Scottish legislation and policymaking.
