I am certain that this is exactly the reason the fingertip feminist chose this hill to die on.

She doesn't give a monkey's for women, children or even trans people. The only ideology she believes in is Scottish independence at all cost.

I have to disagree with you about independence all she cares about is making a name for herself as a progressive to get that lucrative un job

Thank Fuck!! Is there a weeping an gnashing of teeth yet?!

Stonewall:

We’re disappointed that the Court of Session in Scotland has found in favour of the UK Government’s unprecedented decision to use Section 35 to block the Gender Recognition Reform Bill from Royal Assent. This Bill was one of the most debated in the Scottish Parliament’s history and was passed by a resounding majority of MSPs drawn from all major Scottish parties.

This unfortunately means more uncertainty for trans people in Scotland, who will now be waiting once again, to see whether they will be able to have their gender legally recognised through a process that is in line with leading nations like Ireland, Canada and New Zealand.

Whatever happens next in discussions with the UK and Scottish Governments on this matter, Stonewall will continue to press all administrations to make progress on LGBTQ+ rights in line with leading international practice.

To repeat what was said in a recent session of parliament, 'Stonewall do not make the law in the UK', my paraphrasing. I would even go so far as to say that their track record recently has shown that they have tried their hardest to make people believe the law says what Stonewall wants the law to say. And when you look at who advises them on law, who even fucking wrote the book about trans law in the UK, you begin to understand that the members of Stonewall have been very poorly served by their legal advisory team.

I take anything that Stonewall says now about law and government process with a truckload of salt.

Thank fuck. I had such a sick feeling this morning. So relieved.

GoatsareGOAT · 08/12/2023 12:22

Oh thank fuck I've been feeling sick about this all morning.

Loads more bloody money wasted by the idiotic SNP

pickledandpuzzled · 08/12/2023 12:23

Stonewall aren’t very good at the law.

Rainbowshit · 08/12/2023 12:25

What a relief. Hopefully this will kill it off in Scotland.

Kucinghitam · 08/12/2023 12:25

Oh phew!

Can you nearly puke in relief?

pickledandpuzzled · 08/12/2023 12:28

Moira and Steph? Oh dear. They need more time with the bundles clearly.

EasternStandard · 08/12/2023 12:35

Great news

Beowulfa · 08/12/2023 12:39

Sad day for all those SMPs who voted to prioritise the rights of convicted rapists over women and girls.

Hoardasurass · 08/12/2023 12:39

They must have put that up as I was typing 🤣
Thanks @ArthurbellaScott

All those legal minds and all those MSPs who voted the bill through - how could they not grasp that Scotland changing a law that affects the rest of the UK was going to be problematic for Westminster?

Exactly. Section 35 was used in this case in exactly the way it was intended

Why lawmakers didn't grasp that is baffling

AnneShirleysNewDress · 08/12/2023 12:45

What a relief! Another waste of time and money by the SNP.

nauticant · 08/12/2023 12:45

I'm sure they were very well aware of the conflict and with this in mind they were going for a win-win outcome. Either Scotland gets a bonkers new gender law or an adverse outcome would provide years of opportunity for grievance mongering.

IcakethereforeIam · 08/12/2023 12:48

Any news on if they plan to appeal?

But, for now, thank fuck!

Sexnotgender · 08/12/2023 12:49

Fucking EXCELLENT news. So bloody delighted.
