Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 (@patrickharvie) Tweeted:
An MSP just tried to effectively ban the word cisgender from Parliament. I know & respect that some people don't accept it or identify with it, and I used it yesterday in a way which positively reflected that. But many do identify with it, and that should be respected too. t.co/l8V6wNK4Uo twitter.com/patrickharvie/status/1235263009108480000?s=20

Can you repeat the link please, OP, it isn’t live.

I think he's getting his arse skelpt as we say up here.

I liked “vaginas brought you into this world & vaginas will vote you out”

Thank you Elaine Smith MSP

If Harvie wants to refer to himself in terms of being c*sgender, he can do that and sound like an eejit if he likes. What he arrogantly did yesterday was mansplain about women, feminism etc. & used a term many have repeatedly objected to, having been asked privately not to use such a term, & did all this in a discussion/debate about women. That is as brazen a display of misogyny as it's possible to get.

TRA's: "We don't like labels. Don't label us."

Everyone else : "Great nor do we. Don't call us C*s it's insulting."

TRA's: "Uh no. You are either Trans or Cis so that is what I will describe you as."

EE: ". No, just no."

Cis, another made up word, just like ‘trans child’ are made up words.

Unfortunately he is a list MP so to get him out we need pretty much no one to vote for green and a lot of people still think Green Party = environmental protection or as a protest vote. It is one of my biggest aversions to the PR system and that of list MPs; reprehensible individuals that no one voted for can still get in at the top of the party list. And with a minority government they can exert considerable power.

Patrick Harvie really dislikes uppity women.

It’s past time that guy gave up on any pretence of doing anything green.

And it’s past time that he gave up on telling women what Patrick Harvie decides what they can be called

It is cheeky fuckiry from Harvie
I don’t need to be defined as not being trans.
It is offensive for some power happy privileged guy to tell women what they are to be called

Patrick Harvie an example of why the first past the post system isn’t allbad. He is only an MSP because of the list system and holds a disproportionate amount of power due to this.
He’s a misogynist who now no longer bothers to hide it

I’m pleased by the responses! People aren’t having this shit!

The rails is almost as good as the ‘Womxn’s Brunch’ advert...

I wonder if any English or Welsh Labour MPs will eventually have the courage to stand for us, some of the Scottish female MPs are brilliant.

Stand up for us, that was meant to say, Elaine Smith, Johann Lamont and Joanna Cherry have been great in Scotland.

Joan MacAlpine too

FPTP doesn't prevent misogynists from being elected, unfortunately.

I was so proud when Scotland had political leaders who were all gay and/or female. Then I realised that PH was a right wee dickhead.

If we have to be cis-women, can we have an International Cis-Women's Day? And a Cis-Women's Day of Remembrance (sadly, a long list of names to read out) and a Cis-Women's History Month?

I know the answer. From the perspective of a Trans-Woman, or their supporters, it seems that what's mine is mine, and what's yours, is mine as well.

Just watched the video. Has no one in the Scottish Parliament ever studied Latin? This particle is pronounced "chees", not "sis".

PH is absolutely vile. The loathing he has for women drips off him. Good for Elain Smith for challenging him. Clip here:

That's Elaine obviously!

Also, to cheer everyone up, here are speeches from Joan M and Johann L in the debate. Outstanding use of parliamentary privilege by Joan to be unequivocal about sex of Julie B's attacker.

It is depressing that it was so sparsely attended (and one there was PH using opportunity to undermine day and promote gender nonsense). Still, these speeches are good!

Have you heard a Who?
