Times podcast here with Alex Salmond

Alex Salmond says that Ash Reagan is going to write a letter to the Scottish Prime Minister demanding that-
He focuses on Independence
Protection in law for women and girls
More competence in the administration

..she is not just one of the most competent people in the room but also she is an adult human female….

This the second time that gender ideology has caused major Scottish political upheaval; first the constitutional crisis over self ID and now refusing to accept the Cass report has flung them all in the a spinning state.

Really quite bonkers - and those that had no idea before, again are forced to look at the whole thing and the farces that gender ideology creates around it.

On PM Alex Salmond listed 'protection of women and girls' as a key priority of Ash Regan's in her letter to Humza Youssuf. This is great stuff! If he wants her support he has to show support of women and girls.

I'd like a definition of woman that is based on sex to go with that statement. Call me cynical, I know, I know.

It is remarkable, isn't it? An issue that everyone thought was a fringe issue, or a distraction has turned into political dynamite. All those cynical politicians who thought there was no cost to spouting the TWAW mantra and who believed it would buy them the youth vote are now getting a very rude awakening.

Its almost like they are playing pass the hand grenade. When the music stops you pull the pin. Onlookers can't turn away.

I saw that interview! He was quite brilliant in it (even though I’m far from a fan)

An issue that everyone thought was a fringe issue, or a distraction has turned into political dynamite.

Truly explosive.

What other issues have caused such core mayhem so quickly?

I'm not sure gender did for Nicola tbh.

<cough> bezzlement <cough>

Completely!

I said on another thread that the real shadow party has always been stonewall; it really bloody has and has been a parasite across all parties.

The hosts are imploding and it's been truly exposed.

No, very true. Wonder what would have happened if that hadn't happened. The way she was going it would have got her.

Based on jawline, I'm not sure about that "she".

Regardless, that set of images is extremely tone-deaf when considering female readers.

Rapist gender gets everyone.

That young ginger green fella on The Nine show was not a happy chap. Ranting about bigots taking the SNP to the right. Didn't seem to be able to grasp the fact that if they vote against Humza next week, there's a good chance Kate Forbes will take them even further to the right.

Female - the switch to they/them pronouns is pretty recent, it was all she/her before that. Married to a man, but identifies as non-binary and queer.

BBC News at 10 reporting that, according to sources, one of Ash Regan’s key demands will be a guarantee that the recommendations in the Cass Report will be implemented in full.

Based on jawline, I'm not sure about that "she".

Nah, better photos indicate that @ArabellaScott called female correctly.

Which kind of shows how the non-binary delusion makes women think that a man breaking a door down with an axe whilst a terrified woman cowers is absolutely A-OK imagery to use because they/them thinks that they/them is exempt from that kind of male-on-female violence on account of having opted out of womanhood.

Interestingly, they/them complains in an older TwiX that they/them was knocked off they/them's bicycle by a young man. How does they/them know that they/them's assailant was a mn and not non-binary or transwoman?

Why do you think that? What policies has Kate Forbes espoused that are to the right of the Humza?

Excellent.

22.43 All over Newsnight on bbc2 now.

Does Posie's POW cover Scotland? Surely after all this, people will be crying out for some sensible women to vote for!

speaking of which, have the Scottish government said anything at all about Cass? I seem to have missed it if they have. curious, that.

They've summed it up in the Telegraph

Love it 'karma's a terf' 😁

It's so funny. Karma is a TERF indeed. Love Marion Calder's comments about science denying cranks.

"Their reaction to the ban on puberty blockers was far more vociferous than the scrapping of environmental targets, which tells you all you need to know about them.”
