Gaslighting Scottish Rape Victims in the Name of ‘Trans Inclusion’

It's a long article, but it's a very clear account of the lunacy that has taken over Scotland and it's political class.

It doesn't mention, what's happening to Mridul Wadhwa and whether he's under investigation now that he's been 'put on leave'.

Gaslighting Scottish Rape Victims in the Name of ‘Trans Inclusion’

For three years, Edinburgh’s rape-crisis centre was run by a male CEO who lectured sex-assault victims and staff about their ‘prejudice’ against the male body. How was this allowed to happen?

Thanks for sharing this excellent piece. I think the investigation promised by Rape Crisis Scotland is due at the end of this month. I’m guessing that key politicians and Sandy Brindley (Head of RCS) will be on holiday and “unable to comment”…

Excellent, comprehensive account by Joan Smith. I do hope that that Roz Adams is recovering from this ordeal.

Thank you for sharing this OP. A sobering and also horrifying article. I really really want to send this to my friend in Edinburgh who believes in all the gender ideology stuff and told me off during a conversation with her for referring to the pink leggings rapist "Isla" as a man.

I was so enraged that day that she would put the feelings of a predatory rapist male first over not only his victims (most especially) but over those of us who understand the importance of reality and words. I felt like I'd been dunked in ice cold water that day it was such a shock she said that.

This article reveals how truly awful the ideology is for women and girls, particularly those who have been sexually assaulted or raped.

As pointed out on another thread by the time MW applied to ERCC his trans status was publicly known.

And, ironically the recent EHRC statement re women only posts have indicated that it can be lawful to advertise as women only but be trans inclusive (athough I understand that to be in reference to gender re-assignment not gender identity).

Scottish Women's Aid are advertising women only posts as:

Please note, applications will be accepted from women only under Schedule 9, part 1 of the Equality Act 2010. Scottish Women’s Aid is an equal opportunities employer, all women, including women with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, may apply for women-only roles.
