Mermaid's takeaway from day 2 of their appeal against LGB Alliance. I guess when you don't have anything else to celebrate

We're onto day three an today we start off with John Nicolson MSP on the witness stand. He's committed to early mistakes, in trying to blur the boundary between adult and child and in using "born in the wrong body" which isn't even Mermaids' stance anymore.

Edit: And he's just said a lesbian is anyone who chooses to identify as one. Not really making a great case as to why LGB Alliance aren't needed

I just want to state that John Nicolson is an arrogant prick and total charlatan. May his next shite be a hedgehog.

The man's an arsehole of the highest order. Happy to talk about what a great ally he is now, but his own voting record on gay rights back when he was in the closet was atrocious. His testimony yesterday was nothing short of laughable, just answering questions that weren't asked, throwing out wild accusations. I think he genuinely thought he could just act how he does on Twitter. At one point he claimed one of the supporters of the LGBA impersonated an MP (him). He was referring to James Dreyfus having uploaded a video where he was playing an obvious parody of him.
