"Sturgeon should hit pause on gender reform"

Kenny Farquharson's comment in the Times today:

No, she should hit STOP. But pause would be a start.

I fully agree teawamutu
There are loads of articles about Scotland's drug crisis in the Scotland section of the Times today, maybe the SG could concentrate on that instead, that would be good.

Look at that, more debate! 😊

I obviously have no idea if this is true, but Twitter rumour says a Tory MP is going to be in a newspaper tomorrow coming out against self ID and for women’s rights. Dam starting to break?

It says Jackie Doyle Price MP for Thurrock. Tory

She has also been retweeting gender critical stuff

Surely we’re approaching critical mass now?

But then I remember how the SNP just kept plugging at Named Pearson regardless & I am frightened

For the SG to deal (as they should) with the mounting drugs problem would be really hard. It would take money - for treatment centres, support, education outreach. And time. The results - if the programme succeeded - probably wouldn’t show up quickly enough to give them an electoral advantage.

Whereas gender reform, from SG’s point of view, is quick and easy (you just put words on a page to change the law) and the results will show up quickly.

Which is why SG like the idea.

Of course, the results in fact will be women and girls losing privacy, dignity and safety. What will show up will be men, when we’re trying to get changed. This might have electoral consequences....

Actually she should hit REVERSE as hard as she can. Won't though.
