Two Labour politicians asked questions about Keira Bell case today

[howonearthdidwegethere]

Jenny Marra MSP asked Nicola Sturgeon whether she would take on board the ruling.

Lord Young asked UK Govt Minister in Lords about use of puberty blockers.

And then of course, there was Johann Lamont changing the wording of a 2014 Act from 'gender' to 'sex' when talking about medical examiners for rape victims.

Good.

This is hopefully that start of the turning of the tide, all these institutions that will start backing off quickly and looking the other way, I hope will instead apologise and make plans to support the young people who have been really damaged by all of this.

Jenny Marra MSP asked Nicola Sturgeon whether she would take on board the ruling.

To which she waffled and said it was a matter for clinicians....

Not sure about Lord Young but Jenny Marta and Johann Lamont are long-time supporters of women's rights, so not a switch in position for them.

Jenny Marra looked very annoyed while Sturgeon replied. Not surprising as she completely dodged it. Marra asked for her legal opinion on how the judgement should be considered in Scotland and she waffled for a bit and said she had no clinical or medical knowledge. 🙄 That wisnae the question though.
