My local msp, I know her personally & supported her over the years, has voted for sexual predators to self-id & boy will she know about it when I next see her! To say I am RAGING is an understatement 😤

Further to this...Gillian Martin ms peee has made clear on the GRB that trans folk will not be asked to declare any sexual convictions when applying for a GRC! Thereby addressing the 'harmful conflation' of trans people & sex offenders, sometimes heard in public discourse. 😤

It's unbelievable. Yep and the term "trans" can extend to absolutely everyone. Sex offenders must be having an absolute field day!

I'm with you Damn Rebel B*tch! I'm beyond raging too!

If Sturgeon thinks it’s ok for this act...she should be prepared to go to a dressing room/ gym and undress in front of a heterosexual male!

If Sturgeon believes this is ok she should be prepared to strip in front of a man in her local gymnasium

I've put this on the FB page of Mhairi Black, a woman I once had so much respect for, but whom I now loathe, for she has fought hard to remove ALL the rights and single sex spaces of women and girls in Scotland. ALL who have done this must be held accountable when the crimes against women and girls start to happen. And to think Sturgeon and Black have both declared they stand for an end to VAWG when they've just unleashed one of the biggest VAWG crimes of my lifetime, in my view. SEETHINGLY ANGRY!

Oh Mhairi Black was so promising, wasn't she!? She seemed so confident and decent. But nope, she is pushing hard for this middle-class, homophobic, dangerous trans BS. Can't believe it.

Thank you JL for keeping this list updated JL and for sharing it Glinner. There should be NO men on this list who are able to use womanface to abuse women adn children, yet here we are. Not only did they pass this horrendous piece of legislation, but they voted down the amendment to bar sexual predators from self IDing. Why? What the hell was going through their heads? Sexual predators now have a right to access victims? FFS.

Sexual predators have always had the right to access victims under patriarchal civilization. Oh, yeah, little gestures to appease the public so the elite sexual predators can do whatever they please.

A Labour councillor spoke at todays rally against this bill and as part of her speech she read out the names we are familiar with. Thank you Alison.

To my surprise Alison Dowling was on the train to Glasgow and it turns out she’s a Glinner follower too. Good woman

Poor Scotland. Once known for its Age of Enlightenment, it's so-called 'progressive' government has truly sunk into the deepest depths of darkness. The Dark Age of Gender. Complete giving over of a reasoned view of the world.

Canada too has sunk in the deepest depths of 'gender' darkness. Rats nailed onto Women's shelter doors. Men demanding to have their balls waxed by threatened women . Ginormous fake 'breasts' worn in the classroom by a male teacher. Men-pretending-to-be-women invited to speak at sacred memorials to the Montreal Massacre of female students. The list of travesties is near endless. And now Skate Canada refuses to use the male and female categories any longer. Suddenly the movie 'Blades of Glory' isn't so funny any more.

What a mess, Fraserreal :(

Trudeau is FRIGHTFUL!

Trudeau needs to take a hard look at himself in the mirror- and not immediately reach for his d&£k

I‘ll be sharing the shit out of this, thank you👏

JL's list is such an indictment. Should be played hourly on every bloody network, across every bloody platform, in every news feed available. It would completely end this 'gender' nonsense, and the pathological 'kindness' so many people are willing to give to it.

Each county in the States should start a list. Womenarehuman.com and Reduxx have a good start.

Indeed.

Would we put foxes in the hen hutch because some foxes are nice and some won't be hungry? NOPE.

Women are human but they are being treated like animals.

There you go! More obedient readers of the webpage, "Trans Journalists Association Style Guide" (in other words, "we matter, women don't")

‘The diamond grass of Cathkin Park is glinting in the winter sun as Ellie Gomersall reflects on something intensely personal - her identity.’

This is the bbc’s answer to balance… not the women who have been assaulted by men pretending to be women, no just a male student talking about himself. Deeply personal my arse.

voting on thursday. As a life long labour supporter looks like i owe another debt of gratitude to the tories in this. Shows how important it is not to be a nation of nodding dogs.

can this be sent to all the MSPs who voted for the bill?

Horrific. Simply horrific. But, Dana Rivers, the trans-identifying male who was just convicted of brutally murdering a lesbian couple and their teenage son in Oakland, CA, is not on the list. Nor was Darren Merager, the Los Angeles Wi Spa flasher suspect who had "female" listed on his driver's license, must have at least suggested he was female upon entering Wi Spa, but, during a recent interview, said that he knew that he was a man.

Before the Wi Spa incident, Merager had already been convicted of exposing his male genitalia in other inappropriate venues.

Perhaps Rivers is not on the list because his 1st degree murder convictions were so recent? And, perhaps Merager is not on the list because both his previous convictions were associated with penile exposure/ public indecency AND his current Wi Spa charges are not nearly so heinous as the crimes of some of the other men on this list?

If all US trans sex offenders were included, the list wd be five times longer, probably.

so in scotland with the bill passing we can look forwards to a massive state led grooming program aimed at educating 14-15 year olds about whether they want to change their sex in preparation for their 16th birthday. I think i might have to go and live in a cave.

On topic - I came across this article this morning, I now more or less ignore The Guardian but up until the last few sentences this is actually fairly neutrally written (well, no, it still centres how trans community feels over that other lot... what they called... you know those people with eggs and ovaries etc...)

BUT... For the GUARDIAN... perhaps an improvement, and a sign that women's rights groups might be having an impact big enough that media can no longer dismiss them as some sort of fringe movement.

You are worthy of laudation my friend! ;) so sad about Tim's passing.

Hopefully, Alister Jack is on the side of sanity today. He can issue an s.35 to prevent the PO from submitting the bill for Royal assent!
