There needs to be far greater scrutiny of Mr Murrell, sadly I don’t think the largely impotent Scottish media will do it.

oh look, when hard questions are asked certain posters make a run for it.

I was hoping @CatherinaJTV would explain to us why it's OK to lock women up with rapists. I (and y'all) will have to wait until another day for an explanation

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 08/09/2021 21:12

Sturgeon is such an inspiration!

crikey, you're inspired by politicians who refuse to listen to reasonable debate? I should raise my standards if I were you

@pheebumbalatti

Sturgeon is such an inspiration! A modern political hero. Great to see she won't hold back progress because of a few desperate fascists and their need to constantly create new things to be offended by. Looking forward to independence and hopefully a path towards a republic too. :) Also F the tories, just in general.
Isn't she just.

Hopefully soon women and girls in Scotland can enjoy male sex offenders in women's spa facilities too - just like the progressive utopia of California.

Yay Nicola. You go gurl!

You have very low standards

She is, to MRA's.

Violetparis · 08/09/2021 21:19

I used to rate Sturgeon and wished we had a party leader like her in England, now I am just disillusioned and exasperated with them all.

I'm always pleased when posters decide to simply ignore questions which don't fit their narrative. It's very informational for lurkers. When it plays out over many different questions, over many different threads, it makes people start to ponder why exactly TRA's.don't engage with the discussion apart from to shout sound bites.
Selkiesarereal · 08/09/2021 21:24

I would like an explanation as to why I am one of the fascists here.

But I suspect there will be no reasoned explanation just the playground name calling.

Mantlemoose · 08/09/2021 21:28

Nothing surprises me from NS. She's desperately clutching at straws now and its embarrassing to say the least. Why don't people quit with their dignity intact?

Thelnebriati · 08/09/2021 21:30

Isn't it strange that at the precise moment in time women started to gain some economic independence and equality, they suddenly become the oppressor class, reactionary, fascists.

tbh there's not many to pick from, but in this day and age she does stand out as a progressive leader.
UmpteenthTime · 08/09/2021 21:32

Progressive, how?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 08/09/2021 21:36

Oh come now umpteenth! It’s the ultimate in progress to allow any man to self ID as a woman and have immediate access to any and all women only spaces. We’ve clearly been womaning wrong and need men to show us how to do it properly

Selkiesarereal · 08/09/2021 21:37

I just had a look at my old school dictionary and then Wikipedia just in case the definition had changed but fascism, first institutionalised in Italy in 1922 is a form of far right dictatorship, forceable suppression of opposition. So tell me why is it TRA’s keep stating no debate, is that not a suppression system of opposition?

Artichokeleaves · 08/09/2021 21:38

@CatherinaJTV

I’ve heard all the rumours about her marriage, Peter Murrell’s preferences etc etc but to dismiss women like this ?

Seriously? What's wrong with you? I cannot wait for the GRA reform to be passed, so this hate can stop.

Of course what you perceive as 'hate' which is actually women standing up for what they need and their right to inclusion and safety and sex based needs won't 'stop'.

If the GRA reform is passed in this extremely silly, discriminatory and anti woman way, you had better prepare yourself for the anger, the tension, the conflict of needs and women having to make themselves heard get a lot worse.

It really isn't a game in which once the activists wins everyone goes home. This is the equality of half the population of Scotland ffs.

Here's another SNP scandal.

I bet any one of us who is/was on twitter has witnessed a Janey Godley led pile-on and her disgusting, vitriolic tweets. A

Hate-fest?

Honestly, having English as your second language is no excuse at all for throwing around baseless, emotional accusations like this. The very, very real concerns and worries of women are being tossed aside by a female leader of a major political party and our shock, opposition and confusion is hate?

There is real hate in this whole sorry shit-show but it's being done to women. Not by women.

Oh and Janey Godley was active in the Scottish Conservative party in the wake of the miners' strike.

What do you think about that, @CatherinaJTV ? She's one of yours now Wink

@ScreamingMeMe you won't get an answer to that - far too inconvenient!

CatherinaJTV

Seriously? What's wrong with you? I cannot wait for the GRA reform to be passed, so this hate can stop.

May I ask, do you not have any trans people in your life that you give a flying flamingo about?

If the GRA reform passes, this shitshow is just beginning. Once awareness of the new legislation percolate across all levels of the nation, not just the ones who have twitter, there will be a huge backlash against anyone openly trans or gay. You seem to like smearing women on mumsnet as right-wing bigots. Michty me, the "right-wing bigots" haven't actually found out yet. When they do, we'll all know about it, and it won't be good for anyone.

The jeering from NS just says it all really doesn’t it. She actually thinks women campaigning to protect their rights are shameful.

She’s the bigot here.

MiladyBerserko · 08/09/2021 22:33

Oh that Janey Godley article is quite marvellous.

One like that for scaredy beard please
