I've lurked about on this board for a few months now getting my eyes well and truly opened to what is going on but haven't actually done anything -wasn't sure quite what to do, or if I was an activist type Grin! Email from For Women Scotland yesterday about this has pushed me over the line and I emailed my MSPs. No idea if they will take any notice. Very worried about the way things are going in Scotland.

Today, Johann Lamont's amendment to replace the word gender with sex has been passed.

I've just seen it talked about on Twitter including Jo Cherry thanking Johann and others. It was 113/9 in the end - so not remotely close!!!

@SophocIestheFox

I’d missed this last month, I’m horrified.

This is saying that when it comes to the intimate vaginal examination of rape victims, their feelings matter less than the feelings of any males who want to intimately examine those rape victims, just as long as those males assert a woman's gender identity.

You'd have to be a complete sociopath to be male, and determined to work with women rape victims who have specified that they only want female provision. Precisely the sort of person, in fact, who has no place in any such role

What wellbehavedwomen says sums it up. Grim.

Fantastic news. Especially when you consider the chilling but clear phasing here.

That’s wonderful news. I wonder who the 9 who voted against were. I hope their constituents know.

Urgent action for those in Scotland http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4098732-Urgent-action-for-those-in-Scotlandd^

Also being discussed here. Wings Over Scotland has published the names of the no voters.

Such wonderful news.

Great news. Just watched the debate, Johann Lamont was so good, gives me unusual faith in the integrity of (some) politicians

PotholeParadies · 10/12/2020 22:35

Direct link on the 9.

Great tweet from Emma Hilton:

Six words.

Six words that perfectly encapsulate a movement.

#SixWords #SexMatters #SexNotGender

A poster called OWAW shared them in bold...
