Some push back in (or maybe not) the Scottish Greens on their unscientific undemocratic approach to the trabs issue and their misogyny.

'Trans women who hurt females to go to male prisons' or rather some men who have hurt and raped women might get sent to women's prisons if it's 'long enough' ago and they say they will be nice, and other men will get sent to women's prisons no matter how upsetting it might be for the women prisoners, many of who will have had deeply traumatising experiences at the hands of men.

Good points here from Lisa Mackenzie about how working class women are disproportionately affected by the removal of women only spaces due to gender ideology.

I suspect Pete Wishart is going to be attacked for being transphobic.

Scottish Govt to drop challenge on Article 35 on their gender reform bill. Sensible even if late

A trans person, talks about it and come out.

Transphobic bullying is rife’: a 15-year-old trans boy’s view of coming out at school
... The politicians behind this guidance don’t know what it is to be trans, they’ve never listened to a trans voice so they don’t know what damage it will cause.

Unfortunately,  Brianna won't  be able to speak  up about it either.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/20/brianna-ghey-found-guilty-murder
Quote
The boy referred to Brianna as “prey” and “it” in his messages, saying she would be “easier” to kill “and I want to see if it will scream like a man or a girl”.
"Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all" - D Adams

It's very sad that children are bullied for perceived differences. I don't think the article makes any substantive arguments against the govt guidance though. It does raise the issue of toilets but doesn't show any acknowledgement of why single sex toilets and changing rooms are seen as important.

As for 'needing permission to experiment with what you are called or clothing', that's not what the guidelines do.

The murder of Brianna Ghey is an utterly tagic case which seems to have nothing to do with them being trans. There may be no lessons that can be learned from it but we should be wondering why two 15 year old kids were so severely disturbed as to see murder as essentially a game.

Using it as some 'argument' against a set of guidelines that weren't in place seems to me utterly disrespectful.

Janice Turner 'This was the year women fought back and won' - I think it's a headline that is a bit gilded but interrsting summary of the year. I had missed Bridget Phillipson's giving Labour support to the recent school guidelines on trans.

An article with a good summary of the case. The ridiculous and dangerous attempts to shut down discussion are ignored by most mainstream parties, and that makes it difficult for me to consider voting for them.

The proposed ban on 'conversion therapy' in Scotland looks like being a badly conceived mess that restricts free speech in support of an ideology.

Report from Fairplay for Woman on men who say they are women competing in women's sport

As ever, I'm bemused that so many people seem to have no problem supporting these delusions, and a view that requires some sort of concept of a soul.
