Sturgeon has dropped pronouns

[daisychainsspring]

Very odd. Something afoot?

I don't support Brexit, just to clarify!

Perhaps she’s finally engaged her brain on the issue?

How intriguing. I wonder if there's been some internal polling carried out?

I went looking at her twitter account captured in archive and looking at a number of captures over the past year or so couldn't find one in which pronouns are present:

There will probably be a hope that wave a few gestures at women and they'll forget the past few years and everything else that's happened.

Good luck with that Nicola. Best of bloody British with that one.

Council elections are coming up so it's a purely cosmetic decision. Nothing's changed, still misogynistic. I will be voting Alba.

We should remember that wee Nippy did that speech where she said her pronouns were She/Her and the infamous cupboard plea.

She might have said so on the video but she never did have that on her Twitter bio.

@DomesticatedZombie

I am absolutely delighted to hear this. I have been wondering how long it would take for Sturgeon to realise how much of a poisoned chalice gender ideology is and drop it. She's a populist above all.

Oh ha ha.

There's no way she has dropped this.

Here's a tweet from possibly the SNP politician I dislike most.

Couple tweets doing numbers saying I’ve taken my pronouns out my Twitter bio. It’s a lie. They were never there in the first place. Thanks for the reminder though, added them now. 👍 twitter.com/MhairiBlack/status/1503848974456958976?s=20&t=VTlZwBlQSbyJi5Y6lKn_Bg

What !! She's given up on separatism. Now that really would be engaging critical thinking.

So there's no proof of this?

What made you think this was true OP? I'm fascinated to know where this came from.

No, in fact if you go looking through the best proof, the Wayback machine which is used to archive webpages, you'll see that in Mhairi Black's archived tweets, none of her 2021 tweets had pronouns in the bio:

The same appears to be the case for Nicola Sturgeon.

This story is a good example of truthiness: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

I think people assumed - because they are so right I’m in this topic. Same is (not) happening in the US apparently. Only a matter of time before people are asked ‘why DONT you have them???’ And they will meekly add them.

It does demonstrate how this is just a ludicrous fashion.

Ah. So, Nicola. Where are your pronouns, eh?

Yes something afoot.

Who else spotted this yesterday?

Liberal Voice for women @libvoice4womem
Lib Dem conference has just overwhelmingly passed a Constitutional Amendment motion to add the word 'sex' as a Protected Characteristic back into the party's Constitution.

There has never been a better time for liberal-minded people who believe sex is real and sex matters to join the @LibDems. We still have some way to go to restoring open debate and women-friendly policies, but this is an important first step on the journey

I also think the fact that these parties are not reflecting public opinion nor the law is starting to catch up.

I suggest to keep watching...

That’s intriguing. The LibDems were the first party I heard really trumpeting TRA slogans.

Mind, surely, given that Sex is one of the protected characteristics in the Equality Act, they are only correcting a false statement in their constitution? And about time too.
