Thanks to Lucy B for the following. In the midst of current discussion about evidence re GRA reform, the internal memo on left must be one of lowest of low points ever in @scotgov’s history of evidence analysis. Alerted to some relevant serious academic research, a civil servant turns as their top citation to... a blog that mis-reads the findings, by an anonymous person with this sort of public history on social media.
A barely literate civil servant who does not realize that 'medium' is basically equivalent to wordpress. As long as it suits their agenda they don't care. I also live in Scotland and am also not surprised in the slightest. The Scottish government is an unmitigated disaster.

Shame on you Nicola Sturgeon. This will be the worst thing you will ever do, if your proposal goes through.
- Allowing 16 year olds to legally change genders ENCOURAGES the unnecessary medicalisation of children.
- Letting any man be seen as a woman in law after 3 months of performing a sexist stereotype ENDANGERS women.
How dare you.
Women who say "they wouldn't really mind" [sharing an intimate space with a man]. If you really don't get what the problem is, do OTHER WOMEN a favour and SAY--NO--ANYWAY!
Can someone please explain to a US citizen why Nicola Sturgeon is so hell-bent on passing through self-ID. Who is pulling her strings? Does anybody know?
Am I susprised? Sadly not. Many women know the feeling of preparing a report or presentation for work, having all your evidence and checking it twice only to be quizzed on it all as if you cannot be right and then have some guy speak up, no evidence, no prep and either scupper it all or take the credit. What is happening in Scotland are the actions of people that have already made up their mind and are going through the motions so it has the appearance of due diligence. It's completely reprehensible. Wikipedia applies more due diligence to it's sources.

No to self ID.
Colm O' Gorman appears to be in full support as he retweeted this.

Nicola Sturgeon - destroyer of women’s rights. I detest her. 💚🤍💜
That little prick literally makes me gag.
You can't use Medium as a reliable source on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, but for Scottish government policy matters, okey dokey.

Death threats and intimidation is unacceptable, but is there not a point to be made about the unnecessary medicalisation of children?

I suggest tweeting the hell out to the world: You can, will do and are able to reconnect mind and body. Try:

I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, I am crestfallen this snowdropper is still around. And levelled up in the meantime somehow?
Scottish government can sink no lower
O wait there’s always tomorrow …
Nine so blind as those that will not see.
