Leaflets opposing the GRA are being reported to the police as a hate crime.

I take this hate crime and raise you this.

Trans men are men and have always felt like men inside.

Trans women are women and have always felt like women inside.

Tells you all you need to know. (But will never, ever tell you what that actually means).

I wonder if that delightful twitter poster will be reported to police for inciting violence?? Actual proper violence as opposed to the ‘literal violence’ of misgendering

Always the incitement to violence which is a crime (as per the picture posted by abuse) and yet reporting that will lead to tumbleweed from the Police.

Can you archive/save that shot abuse? It would be useful as further evidence of the bile and hatred directed at anyone questioning this rabid ideology.

Hurrah for forwomenscotland !

Where are these people coming from? They are likely to be youngish - and I’m old enough to be their mother. How the hell were they brought up? By wolves?

These have been popping up in Edinburgh too.

Warning - don’t facebook looksyup the person who tweeted the throatpunch comment.

I’m sleeping with the lights on tonight.

RedDogsBeg Hi, yes, it is saved. This person has had their account subsequently deleted, it appears. Looks like Twitter will ban people for threatening violence, but not for using 'cis' or 'terf', so slurs and misgendering are 'literal violence' only when directed at trans people and not women, it would seem.

I’m sure they will pop up again. You cant keep you-know-what from floating.

Here’s a q - is Dr Wobbly still a Dr? I saw their name on twitter today and it mentioned Dr wobbly and some others doing a web chat

I saw he retweeted this but doesn't mention his name. "If your child says they are transgender, they probably are". Jesus wept.

Ah I thought you meant Dr H! Wobbly suits him.

Dr wobbly is the pez dispenser MD. The other one is a Mr these days isn’t he/she/they/it?

Thanks abuse and BetsyM00, they should also be having their collar felt by the Police but that is a somewhat vain hope.

The article linked to in the OP is an absolute travesty.

I couldn't find the twitter thug... got the page no longer there message.

I was amused to find potentially the same person in Facebook. Looked like an angry teenage girl (identifying as queer asexual obvs).

I think they'd struggle to raise an arm to punch to be honest. Bless

Do these kids never stop to think?

This comment from a Unison person makes me ashamed to be a trade unionist (in a different union, but still):

These sort of incidents, where anti-trans material is distributed to staff, damage the true feminist movement and endanger trans and other gender non-confirming individuals, which is completely unacceptable.

Oh please do tell us, Mr Unison Rep, what the 'true feminist movement' is. I was hoping a man would be along to explain. And while you're at it, how exactly do the stickers endanger trans and other gender 'non-confirming' individuals? On the other hand, you could get back to fighting for decent pay and working conditions for your members.

That in 2019 a leaflet saying 'help us fight for women's and children's protections' should provoke a public call for violence against women. And the police will do nothing. - not envy.

The twitter name also has an insta account.

Where are these people coming from? They are likely to be youngish - and I’m old enough to be their mother. This person looks like they are at least in their thirties to me.

The person encouraging others to throatpunch women leafleting about womens' rights is also in a video interview here:

Agh, so being a woman is being hair-less, wearing full make-up, and wanting to be a model. FFS. Why can't they just be gender non-conforming and stop fucking up women's rights, and forcing their way into female only spaces.

Peyton is going to relentlessly educate people until they learn, apparently. Sounds fun.

Almost as much fun as the channel the video is on, which provides a safe space to discuss veganism, sobriety and straight edge culture. Enough to drive anyone to drink, drugs and dairy...

Lighten up, kids!

I take this hate crime and raise you this @abuseofpowercomesasnosurprise-so clever
Sadly, this is the reality of women's lives. The Leader of Edinburgh City Council & SNP Councillor for Leith is obviously not up to speed with the actual Government in his own Capital who had representative/s from this unfunded, grassroots women's group (FWS) give excellent evidence at the Census Bill. Perhaps he should have a look at whether there is a possible conflict in his Tweet as public bodies need to ensure that they are fulfilling their public sector equality duty with regard specifically to the protected characteristic of “sex” as represented in the Equality Act 2010 (If anyone is writing to him give him Homework: 10/1/19 SP Debate questions asked by Joan McAlpine MSP -S5O-02754).
Another man from Unison-mansplaining what "true feminism" is.
So there we have it-three men (including one who published article) telling Scottish women what they can & cannot do (e.g. share information about their legal rights potentially being eroded due to GRA consultation). Misleading people a leaflet about ANY man getting access to women's places is "transphobic" when it is not about removing anyone's existing rights but about upholding a Law-which does NOT affect them as men.
