Well at least the EHRC is alert to it so the bits that challenge FWS shouldn’t make it onto the statute but if I were a Scottish taxpayer I’d be absolutely fuming at these repeated attempts to subvert women’s rights. Doesn’t the Scottish government have anything better to do?

Not to mention with a winter coming where tax payers will be facing fuel rises and food costs increasing, you'd think they'd be considering 'is this kind of luxury hobby-horse lunacy good to be seen spaffing fucking millions of our collected taxpayers' money away on?'

I assume to a certain type of Onmicauser, putting practical stuff like does everyone have food and heating ahead of principles like TWAW & TMAM is the same as "Say what you like about Mussolini, at least he made the trains run on time."

contains an “equality” clause that would require public bodies to consider “gender identity” when forming policies and delivering services.

And are they going to explain what gender identity might be and when it would be relevant?
