I thought posters may like to read this. Sturgeon and Davidson both declined to comment(!):

Sturgeon challenged to trans debate

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/df755c50-cd8d-11ec-b225-ba85b2bd8624?shareToken=6f322fc7585c5b6586b162cab7661247

"Cherry said: “There is in fact nothing transphobic about defining what a woman is. The Equality Act defines a woman as a female of any age. Is that transphobic?”

She said politicians could not defend women’s rights or legislate for trans rights if they could not define the people protected by those rights.

Cherry added: “It is not trans people we fear, but men, and many of us have the experience of working with survivors of male violence and sexual abuse to know that we are right to be fearful . . . it is a pity that no SNP conference has ever properly debated these issues.

“It would have been useful to have had a debate of the calibre of the famous Nato membership debate back in 2012 . . . so, here’s my challenge to Sturgeon and Davidson. I’ll debate these issues with you in public. Name the date and the place and I will be there.

“As the For Women Scotland group has said: ‘Asserting you are right and refusing to hear opponents is not an argument’.” Sturgeon and Davidson declined to comment."

What's the betting they'd pull a Grace Lavery and change their minds even if they did initially agree to it?

Good for her.

I'd love to watch it, but Sturgeon and Davidson won't be foolish enough to accept the challenge.

Sturgeon is at least bright enough to know she would be utter toast debating Cherry-never going to happen. Not sure about Davidson-is she full on TWAW?

Not in a million blue moons would either of those two even consider for a millisecond. They know they would lose spectacurlarly.
