Nicola Sturgeon says she is 'feminist to her fingertips'

[ArabellaScott]

Chris Deerin (New Statesman) 'asked Nicola Sturgeon about the Gender Reform Act and whether, given all the controversy that has followed, she wishes she had handled the issue differently.'

Sturgeon's answer includes:

...'one of the other misconceptions at the heart of this is that simplifying the process of gender recognition takes away the protections and the safeguards women have under the equalities act- for example, access to single sex spaces. That is not the case.'

Same here, Tommy. Never thought I'd see the day.

I've emailed my local SNP candidate to see if he can tell me

1. What a woman is
2. How many sexes there
3. What he's going to do about the HCB and the lack of protection for women.

And copied Sturgeon in. Interested to see the response. Although not really because it'll be a load of waffle. But still.

Enough said

@terryleather

I'll say it again, those who govern us continue to piss down our backs and tell us it's raining.

Get tae fuck Nicola with yer pish, women will not submit.

Exactly

He should just double down on this as it's true...

Indeed.

Yes!

Lost my vote too
How can any women vote for independence now and roll back women's rights?

I can only read the first couple of paragraphs but his quote sounds about right....

Yep - I'm so sick of the most victimised & defenceless in society line.
NS "a Scotland where everybody feels safe and respected.” Unless you're a woman who wants single sex spaces for safety & dignity

Mr Spence was discussing his belief that a “civil war” in the independence movement now “seems certain”

Oh I do hope that's true and the bloodier the better- a pox on both their houses.
