"Gender expression, of course, is simply how a person presents themselves in terms of dress and general appearance. So under this law, if your 13-year-old son is meeting some friends for a movie and comes down the stairs wearing only a nappy, a ball gag and an adult bib with “CUM SLUT” printed on it, and you say “You’re not bloody going out dressed like that!”, you’ll be committing a crime for which he can have you arrested as long as he claims it’s part of his gender expression."

There's more, so much more.

It is absolutely frightening what js going on in Scottish Government. Parents could be prosecuted for simply praying for their child.

Link to Scottish Legal article.

Or even just chatting about gender with their child.

I can't believe I'm typing this.

Who is the "expert group" referred to in that article? Stonewall?

Yes, if my 13yo dgs were to approach his dad and say, "I think I feel like a girl", dad can say nothing but, "Hello daughter" or face a criminal trial and removal of parental rights and responsibilities.

They're named in the Wings story. Not Stonewall.

What is going on in Scotland. I feel some huge scandal is on the way. It is ridiculous.

I feel like I'm in the handmaids tale. Need to move away from Scotland.

Iluvfriends · 04/01/2023 23:29

What the hell is happening here in Scotland......there's something sinister going on here.....it's frightening.

I feel the same. I've always wanted an independent Scotland and believed in the snp to get us there. But now I'm done, I'm so done. I can't back a government that doesn't protect its own women. I'm moving away this year. Fuck hanging about in this dystopian nightmare.

Every bit as nasty an sinister as the named person scheme which was deemed illegal by the UN if I remember correctly.

Eroding Parents rights as well as Womens rights.

And described as totalitarian by a judge...

ArtfullyCrumpled · 04/01/2023 23:35

I also keep saying we are moving away from Scotland. Need to stay and fight though.

The thing is, I don't think many of my people are worth fighting along side anymore. So many are brainwashed. I even saw a local woman get flamed on reddit the other day for saying she felt uncomfortable in a mixed sex bathroom. The majority of replies were completely unsympathetic. As if she didn't even have the right to her the discomfort.

And sexism appears to be vastly on the rise too if my own experiences are anything to go by. Not to say that couldn't be uk wide of course.

I don't think its going to get better guys. Not before it gets a hell of a lot worse. So I think I'm out here at the first opportunity.

Why are they so adamant about targeting children? It's really sinister.

I would answer but it'd probably be deleted.

Could post some good PIE recipes though.

The whole think is unworkable and will end up as another court case at the tax payers expense.

Agree @Pinkbonbon it's getting harder to speak out. I'm seeing so much misogyny and male rage on social media. I've just removed myself from FB - to many people who are sitting there ready to flame.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 05/01/2023 00:09

Children are the foot soldiers of this movement. Look at that the thread about that vile young man indulging in bullying his mother into submission. Without children and young people at the forefront demanding the removal of facts, science and women from society, the sheer number of dodgy adults would be immediately visible. Instead they can hide behind the young people naively pushing this regressive Victorian aged movement

beastlyslumber · 05/01/2023 00:12

Terrifying. I left Scotland last year. I didn't feel safe there - was just waiting to be sacked and arrested for wrongthink.

Comprehensive list of dubious folks

dropthevipers · 05/01/2023 00:14

I've been following this gender bollocks for about 5 years now. I thought I was past being surprised by each fresh idiocy these nutters come up with. Turns out I was wrong, again.

I really wish the media would dig into the people involved in this group.

Given the backstory of at least one of them is horrendous I’d bet there are more stories there that show just how unsuitable they are for making any suggestions or decisions on anything relating to children.

BlackForestCake · 05/01/2023 00:28

When did policy start being made by consulting a panel of nutters and asking them what they want?

Rainbowshit · 05/01/2023 00:33

Why is it that the lived experiences of certain people classifies them as an expert but that of others (Women) are totally dismissed?
