This ideology has exposed the true nature of so many people, and even once it's defeated I just don't know how as a society we can move on.

I understand the SNP has probably received a large donation from a drug company that makes puberty blockers, like the LibDems did. The SNP is not professional, it’s acting like a party filled with childish thugs, which is exactly what it is, headed by a woman who is advocating for men’s rights.

I'm no sure about that. Trying to find out, as I had the same thought. What I do know is that many hundreds of former far Left joined the SNP after the referendum in 2014, and they have, literally, hi-jacked the party. There is nothing accidental about this: it was all planned; and every public institution and most private ones have been take over by these what can only be described as parasites. They are parasites on women, but also on Scotland and on independence - the last of which they have no intention of delivering ever. That might suit Unionists, but stop and think: if Scotland falls to this stuff, they will not stop at the border. If you understand Nicola Sturgeon's mindset, you will have little difficulty in understanding why she is up to her armpits in gender ideology.

Disagree. They couldn't have hijacked it without Nicola being complicit. SHE is driving it.

Alex would never have let this happen, and she knows he's a better FM than she can ever hope to be. Maybe it's why she tried to destroy him.

Many Labour people left them under Bliar, yes. I did. I joined the SNP in 2014 because Alex had all the policies that Labour used to have. I joined for an indy Scotland, but we won't get that by removing women's rights.

The TRAs *aren't* left wing. Socialists believe in equal rights for EVERYONE. TRAs don't.

TRAs burn books, stop free speech, deplatform those who disagree with them, threaten the opposition and deny biology and evolution. We know *exactly* which European party had those policies in the 30s/40s. TRAs are oppressive fascists who merely self id as left to hide their true selves.

I'm a double sinner, I'm English born and ex Labour, but I can assure you I support both women's rights and indy and know many others are just the same.

We have no hope of indy under Nicola, she couldn't debate her way out of a paper bag. We need to be rid of her and get Alex or Joanna. They know what needs to be done. If she holds indyref we WILL lose. She hasn't increased the number of YESsers since 2014. She has no charisma to attract people to the cause. She doesn't want indy. She wants a cushy UN job with her French fancy and our £666k.. She doesn't care about us.

We need to get Alex in to head the SNP or abandon them and vote Alba.

Oh yes, she is definitely complicit, but many FAR Left (not socialist) people joined after 2014, and came rapidly to the fore in 2015. The FAR Left is the other side of the coin from the Hard Right. Both are ultimately totalitarian, and it was the FAR Left that allowed the Hard Right to gain traction. I also agree that the 'trans' lobby is not left-wing: it is nihilistic and out to deconstruct every aspect of our civilisation - not that they have a clue about how to put it back together again. Tantruming bairns kicking over the lego house. Your Englishness and your Labour origins have nothing to do with this. I have left leanings myself and a good part of my family is English, both in England and up here. This mess is ours, not an English one or a Labour one - wholly ours for letting it happen. The aim of the 'trans' movement is to be the means of destroying every worthwhile thing we have, every advance we have made over hundreds of years in the West. Behind them are money men in Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big Porn, et al. They are pulling the strings. Always follow the money. The foot soldiers are to be rewarded by having every restriction on their behaviour removed, protective laws pulled down so that they may indulge every perversion known to man and quite a few that they haven't thought of yet, but will get around to. The present and follow-up medical bills alone in every Western country that has fallen to this will be colossal and force our NHS into the hands of the capital predators, most of who are sociopaths, psychopaths and/or narcissists on a scale that we have never seen before. The same infants are not trying to destroy Western art culture, language or tearing down statues of intellectuals, accusing them of racism and misogyny, etc., for nothing. It is all the same infection of nihilism. There is no middle ground. Either it will play out or the backlash, when it comes, will be terrible to behold and none of us will be safe.

Calling them *far* left clarifies it, thanks. Yes. With the horseshoe model of politics the extremist left IS very close to the extremist right. It's why they use so many of the same tactics, book burning, compelled speech, deplatforming and many even claim they are superior, like a master race.

I agree the 'trans' lobby is nihilistic and out to deconstruct every aspect of our civilisation, but I don't think they actually want to put it together again - they want it to be broken. It's classic 'divide and conquer' of ordinary people by those with power. Splitting society into the sane and the science deniers is just one part of it. The hate from TRAs will keep society split, they are just too thick to see it.

Queer Theory is about breaking down all societal barriers, including those between men and women and adults and children. It's being pushed by dangerous people. I suspect the TRA mob are just pawns for the capitalist patriarchy that is pushing that ideology within an ideology. Their campaign for 'trans rights' is just a tool for the powers that be to destroy society with Queer Theory.

EDIJester did a good piece about it on YouTube. Scary stuff. Check it out.

We need indy so much, but getting rid of Sturgeon needs to be our priority.

She’ll never get independence - she’s losing the trust of ordinary women - by the thousands - this isn’t some fight conjured up to be nasty to trans women - I don’t give a monkeys about trans women - live n let live. But this stance by Sturgeon to ignore the EHRC, in fact she criticised their report! and the Cass report - think she’s gone stark raving mad!

I’d say huge red flags 🚩- it is remiss of her. I’m surprised and completely deflated by her comments - as I used to have loads of respect for her and I voted for her. I absolutely wanted Independence - not any more.

I think they’ll completely mess it up. 🤣

Under qualified for government never mind the statesmanship needed to transfer our precious country to a successful independent one. V sad.

I still want independence, TiredBarton, as I believe it is the only way forward now, especially since Brexit, but I still feel huge empathy for my sisters in all other parts of the UK. You are right, though. She has lost the trust of many, many independence-minded women. I could never vote for that party while she is FM or while her cohort of 'trans' activists rule the roost. I know there are many women who feel the same. I don't think she cares two hoots about women or children affected by this insanity, only about her own legacy - which won't be up to much if she carries on in this vein. I, and many, many other Scottish women feel she has betrayed us and our young people. For what? Autogynephilic men in frocks? They won't bother with a Gender Recognition Certificate, and they are the majority; they are lready breaching our boundaries illegally. I really do not know, but it cannot be for 'trans' rights because they have them all, the same as the rest of us, but she is willing to allow female rights and spaces to be removed. It makes no sense to a critically-thinking person. None.

It’s not just women she has lost the trust of Lorna, I would love to see the numbers who have left the SNP since 2017/18, and will await my broom closet video, I am sure it is coming, it must be since she did a speshull one for some teenagers throwing a tantrum

Yes, the cult ideologues really do want to spread their gospel and lock down their delusion into law via elected office. But if the politicians had stood firm in the public acknowledgement of biological reality, the ideology could never had gotten this far.

Yes, Fraserreal, that has always been the intention. They want every restriction on their behaviour torn down, and everything queered. Even if none of these men was likely to be a predator, and that is a big 'if', men with fetishes are still pretty much abhorrent to female sensibilities, and we should remember that rape and paedophilia are on the higher echelons of a descending order of fetishistic behaviours which usually come in clusters, according to the works of sexologists and psychologists.

These parasites have latched on to female rights and MAPs (Minor Attracted People) have latched on, parasitically, to them, under Stonewall's ever-expanding umbrella. If things go on like this, they will be demanding next that sadism should be classed as a sexual orientation instead of a perversion, and that random members of the public of both sexes can routinely be whisked off the streets with impunity to participate as the unwilling masochistic element in their twisted, sexual games. If the 'uniforms' at Pride rallies are anything to go by, that's not too far off the mark.

I've just realised this might be the Met, if he is based in London, although all this trolling everywhere all the time it's hard to keep up as they're working cross-border. Maybe all the police areas could talk and not just to target women.

Expand full comment

Communication and cooperation must be possible between all police authorities. In fact, it's very possible but unfortunately the will doesn't exist when it comes to protecting women's rights and freedoms. Besides, there probably isn't the time, not with police officers having to trawl social media looking for hate speech, or questioning women who don't want to surrender their spaces and boundaries.

Which is why I want this formally designated and publicly spoken about as terrorism. I'm very serious about that. Suddenly doors will open and 'it can't be done' suddenly finds a way and it can be. Suddenly diaries are cleared across the UK and people are in the same room and all talking. More resourcing would be nice, but even without that, the intention and acknowledgment is what's needed.

Zero tolerance. This current iteration of a governing group of muppets don't like some useful targets and chose to abandon them. It's very hard to work out progress towards a goal when you've no clue what your base level is, no one works towards the same goal, then data coming in are false or misleading.

Hmmm... Not sure, Matt, but you have nailed something in the Scottish male psyche (not all men, obviously, but too many). I think they are keeping quiet because they desperately want independence, many of them, while others are Unionist but like the SNP policies in other areas. We can't forget the Vichy women either. They are as collaborationist as it is possible to be, and I think they are going to discover the hardest way possible - by being sidelined out of their jobs, by being attacked sexually and by being pushed off all-women lists and many other things - before they get to understand what older women learned years ago. They think we are all jealous, old hags who want to spoil their moment in the sun. They really have no idea, and the 'trans' lobby is ensuring that all instinctive self-protections, honed over millennia, for both women and children, are removed.

I think when the neanderthal subset of Scots males realise they are expected to include 'women' with penises in their dating pool they may start to fight back. But it may be too late by then.

Stonewall played a very canny game. They went after lesbians first, the easiest minority target to abuse, then all women, almost as easy. Now they are targeting gay men with their venom.

But they are leaving heterosexual men alone for now because heterosexual men have the numbers and the power to stop this, so Stonewall ca's canny.

I don't think I've ever seen a TRA attack heterosexual men for not dating TW in the same way they attack lesbians, other women and gay men. I think that is their deliberate strategy.

Stonewall is tiptoeing round the heterosexual neanderthal men so we women and our enlightened male allies need make a huge noise and tell the neanderthals what's in store. Think I'll make some lady dick memes for them with pictures!!

The line "tainted by apparent bias" in the judgement of Alex Salmond's case against the Scottish Government a couple of years ago, should be ringing loudly in the ears of the Committee, if not the Parliament. The Committee clearly decided on the result it wanted and set out to find evidence to support its conclusion. This is horrendously poor governance and a shocking indictment of the state of capture of all of the main political parties in Scotland, with the exception of the Tories.

I'm a member of Alba, and we are very strong on women's rights, but we don't have enough popular support yet. I'm just about to catch up with Denise Finlay's speech to conference on the subject of Mermaids and the Sandyford clinic. This gives me hope, but I fear that we may be too late if we Scots don't rise up against Sturgeon's genderist nightmare.

Ah...hating women and wanting to punch them. It all really comes down to that for these people, doesn't it? Threaten violence to women, then drape yourself in a pride flag and cry that they just make you want to SCREAM. Poor lambs, it's all so unfair that these nasty women want you, your beards, pink hair and flags out of their spaces.

These really are a vile bunch of aggressive and spoilt man-babies. Shame on Sturgeon, enabling these people.

Me neither. It's been very clever to tie this to the obverse being the reverse side - if you hate the continually imploding self-serving Westminster gov, you must support Nicola. Well who doesn't want change (apart from odd talking heads who keep saying 'oh they haven't had a fair run, give them a chance'). But it's all mishmashed up to be confusing. We've had twelve years of this and everything that matters being unpicked. That's being blanket pushed in most of the press and 'anything but them' point. I'm worried that Labour, Lib Dems, Greens will do more 'power sharing' with SNP versus 'the Tories' thing as they've been successful with that deflected voting so far.

I'm unsure who I can vote for now. If I support Miriam Cates MP and Rosie Duffield MP I am assumed to be Tory scum. Many of us based in England (whatever our heritage) despair at what's happening and the inability to work together, whether that's cross-party, region, or all countries in the 'Union' and close by. The Westminster body politic doesn't represent a town 40 miles away from it. We've more in common with other parts of these Isles.

So Beardy can't understand why women wouldn't want him in their toilet, based on a poll of 4 women he met on a night out? A recent YouGov poll found that 88% want separate male and female toilets, while 6% want gender neutral toilets only, but this knob thinks a photo of him twatting around in the women's toilet, is some sort of valid argument? And he's Head of Office and Public Affairs for an elected politician?

If a prominent figure in any other mainstream party (especially one who'd been photographed with the leader) fantasised about "beating the shit" out of feminists (or anyone) they'd move fast to get rid of him. The SNP are capitalising on the media's fear of upsetting Gender Identity Ideologues but there's no guarantee that will last, particularly with the upcoming Tavistock trial and the Mermaids investigation. For their indulgence of ****s like Downing and Mennie, the SNP deserve to crash-and-burn.

Someone is going to die - a woman or a child - or be severely assaulted before this thing implodes. If one woman, girl or child of either sex is attacked in Scotland as a result of this s**t, if it passes (all the Scottish mainstream parties except the Tories are in favour, and ALBA is utterly opposed), I will shout it from the rooftops that it is Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP who must be held to account.

Expand full comment

It has already happened. I suspect that if you look at death investigations there may be many already, just without the 'threshold' required to state it more clearly or collate. There have been enough assaults, abuse and harm, and I would sadly not be surprised if a few years later they were tracked to suicides or other harm. Looking at 'detransitioners' alone there may be a few there &/or children in care.

It's seeing this as the connected mess it is, the wider determinants and the dire impact it's having on us as societies and as it targets those with underlying vulnerabilities and trauma which is likely to compound them.
