Usual crap from Rape Crisis Scotland, still permitting blokes in frocks to have the upper hand. When will these people start standing up for women - and no I don’t need to define what a woman is because it’s obvious to anyone with a brain.
Cut off their gravy train by fronting up to politicians and asking them why they are breaching the public service act by promoting misinformation and anti scientific, fringe faith- based ideology. It’s a government impartiality issue because it’s seriously undermined our democracy and freedom of speech, and thousands of families will be voting soon. Labor will lose the election on this issue and the liberals will take many of their votes, because they are starting to see it for what it is- a serious public concern, and an easy way to appeal to families.
In light of the data I collect on trans widows and the rate of sexual assaults by a suddenly female identifying husband, this is disheartening. Ever since I had 27 or so women responding to my survey, 20 Questions to Ask a Trans Widow, the rate of husband sexually assaulting is just above 1/3. I mentioned this in the live chat on the most recent Genspect video on the impossibility of an "ethical" study on puberty blockers, noting that these adults are influencing the kids, a Simone someone dissed my information as "a collection of anecdotes." She's apparently a "gender doctor," watching and dissing the Cass Report. I'd like to know who this is, if anyone has an idea. Meanwhile, the survey answers from trans widow #65:
JL, your writing is sublime. I could only manage half of the article because I was so very angry. Keep doing your sterling work, though. Spitting feathers here!!!
Brilliant work JL, thank you, but oh how utterly depressing that women are still being treated as beneath consideration, unimportant, the bottom of the heap, just as long as the men are happy.
Thanks, TT! And, yes, Sandy Brindley's dogged adherence to gender woo is unbelievable. I can't decide if it's incredible narcissism or breath-taking stupidity. Probably both. How she stays in a job I just do not know.
I will never understand how any woman can support self identified MEN against female rape victims but in a Rape Crisis Centre it's appalling. How Sandy Brindley can bear to look at herself in the mirror is beyond all understanding !! The ONLY definition of woman is Adult Human Female and nobody is " "assigned" a sex at birth ,full stop !! Some people just never learn !!Thanks ,JL
Thank you JL for chronicling this on-going situation so comprehensively and readably. This political criminality needs to be documented for future generations.
I just don't even know what to say. The Scottish Greens and SNP members who enable this must be mentally ill. What other explanation is there for any woman to berate a rape survivor by prioritising men's feelings over raped women. The West is doomed.
That’s depressing. I don’t understand why Sandy Brindley is still in post after the whadwa fiasco, that she was complicit in, or why she is still there 🤷♀️
A brilliant summary JL, thank you. One can only hope a time of reckoning is inching forward for those who have acted so callously #BrindleyMustGo - but I suspect most of those involved need to be removed from posts. A ‘following orders’ plea will not wash!
So how many women have been very badly let down in their time of need? They deserve some kind of recompense. People like Brindley should be disqualified from public service, as they clearly have agendas that relegate public service to also-ran.
Because lord knows what traumatised women from sexual violence really need is a good bit of gaslighting from a man in a frock [sarcasm]. Aren't people supposed to lose their job for lying on their application? The fact he is still there shows some deep rooted cowardise, stupidity and arrogance by the people enabling him. Thanks JL, that must have been hard to write.
It is almost most shocking that they commission a report, get a very clear report from Vicky Ling ( why did they need a report...but anyway...), throw the report in the bin and double down!! What are the funders doing?Oh, hold on, it's the SNP Government! https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202400420335/
Exceptional writing again: a neat summary of the failings at RCS, thank you JL. Shame on those who continue to fund Brindley’s tenure; surely they can see the damage being done? Was she like this before or was she groomed by Wadhwa, to have such little respect for women and girls that his needs took precedence? Her friend Sharon is equally deranged in her treatment of survivors. Thank goodness for JKR and Beira’s Place.

They don't even have to wear frocks to be considered as women. RCS is beyond help and it needs to be closed down and started again.
Our excuse for a government certainly needs to stop giving them our hard-earned cash now.
