STURGEON IS QUITTING

[Clymene]

Just seen on BBC headlines

I thought posters were sounding quite happy on this thread tbh

And two women are murdered each week by their violent male partners. Men are violent to a much much greater level and frequency than women and this is one of the reasons why we want to keep them out of our spaces. Men being in women’s spaces is an inevitable consequence of trans ideology.

As for Brianna, the Police have said there is no evidence of this being a hate crime. Although it seems they have now been told to re investigate this possibility. But please don’t use the death of a child in your attempt at emotional blackmail- it’s sickening

Yes I think the number of teenagers killed in stabbing this year is shocking too.

I'm very vocal about this both online, in my job, and with my friends and family.
If you're not aware of the anger about this you're either not looking or assuming it's other people being angry. And of course, what makes the headlines is kind of arbitrary.

And again, it's not "trans people" that I believe are a threat to women. It's male people. I wouldn't even know how to tell if someone is trans now, especially after Sturgeon indicates their gender is in question based on their actions.

I'm seeing very few sad messages that aren't from SNP MPs or MSPs. the overall mood is jubilation.

I can't see Kate standing for FM. She's on maternity leave, plus isn't she a christian? How would that work with the trans rights agenda? I don't think Humza is popular. Swinney has already tried and failed. Mairi Black is a possibility but could she do both Holyrood and Westminster? She'd just further the trans agenda which has been evidenced as a vote loser. So who then??

Kier Starmer will be doing absolute cartwheels as this has handed him the election (although I'm not too happy with Labour's stance on trans either).

I've not read the whole thread...

LOJ has declared that "history will be kind" to NS.

He's so obsessed with how people of the future will view us isn't he?

Is that what comes of being continually critical of what people were doing 10 / 20 / 30 / 100 years ago.

Just been browsing twitter

most people on MN don’t care about trans people they just believe they are mentally I’ll and call themselves feminists for it . I never quite understood how such bigotry can be so promoted

"Bigotry" again. So boring. It's always easier to fling insults than produce clear analysis.

Met Police are a disgrace

Will you be directing some of that ire at the Labour London Mayor, Sadie Khan, who has authority over the Met?

Sorry, mate, but you're being clueless.
I do care about the wellbeing of trans people, but I'm also concerned about:
women's sports
women's prisons (does the name Isla Bryson ring any bells?)
women's safety (given that transwomen offend much like men do, and women have single-sex spaces like changing rooms to protect them from men)

It's not bigotry to want to protects women's rights.

Who’s Sadie Khan ?

Sadiq Khan, overkeen autocorrection

I was thinking that! I must just be used to the cut and thrust of FWR.? Although the rest of MN is a fairly terrifying place to me!

I can't imagine the state of the MN collective blood pressure
It's like a tabloid comments section these days. Perhaps less daily mail reading and more haiku might help...

Well that's us told. Silly women talking politics, tut tut. Bad for the blood pressure, better get back to the small things our little lady brains can handle like changing nappies or sitting quietly in the corner looking pretty with our knitting.

I love this A LOT

I wonder if LOJ thinks history will be kind to Maggie Thatcher? She was the formidable female politician of the previous generation that he’s invoking with this tweet.
Although unlike Sturgeon, Thatcher didn’t pretend to be a feminist…

Posh prams and Pom Bears? The mother-hate is palpable.

Sadiq Khan has been outed as trans? On Mumsnet?

Wow. That’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming! congrats to London’s first ever Lady Mayoress, I guess…

It's come to something when my absolute baseline for a politician is 'an ability to recognise and acknowledge objective material reality' and so many of them can't even elevate themselves to that low standard.

Anyway, nobody likes a collaborator. Bye, Nic!

Sadie Khan.

🤣🤣🤣

I’m enormously happy that she’s gone.

I do think there is more to it than her indefensible and unforgivable betrayal of women and children with the GRR issue - pending financial scandals and the other issues many posters have already mentioned.

However the one thing I’m grateful to Sturgeon for is that her dogmatic fealty to Gender Ideology coupled with her arrogance put the cold hard reality of what GI politics and TWAW means when imposed in actual real life.

With massive media headlines, unforgiving, unfiltered visual evidence, the emperors clothes were shown to be missing. And the public saw, and didn’t like it.

Other politicians know this now. Of course the battle isn’t over yet. But I do think Sturgeons downfall, now forever linked to her position on GRR and GI, will help.

"It seems the only ones celebrating are ranger supporters in Glasgow , if you are like them you can join . I wouldn’t be very proud of it"

What has football got to do with it??

I'm on the east coast and don't support rangers. I don't base my political views on a football club. I am happy she is going. Although am also worried about who will replace her. I can't help think she went before she was pushed (or at least pushed publicly) and wonder what will be uncovered now.

Maybe scotland can now recover and be somewhere I am again proud to live.

Nicola Sturgeon
Said our concerns 'weren't valid'
Oh, how times have changed.

Excellent news 🥳
