I don't think many people on here realise just how deeply corrupt Scottish politics is right now. The GRA reform was pushed through with a whipped vote, despite the majority of the population being against it. They tried to make out the changes were popular/needed because major NGOs were in support of it. NGOs on the government payroll, which effectively makes them no longer NGOs.

Meanwhile despite claims that the GRA reform would be merely administrative, a recent court decision ruled that the definition of sex as pertains to the Equality Act was legal sex, which means people with a GRA would effectively be treated as women under all circumstances. So that whole bit about being merely admin was a fucking lie. The judge that made this ruling, Justice Haldane got her position on the recommendation of Nicola Sturgeon.

Fuck the SNP will gloom onto anything they think will help them, couple of years ago it was feminists they caved to when it came to a hate crime bill when (as per general UK law writing its a characteristic that is protected for example "race" in general rather than a specific race) when they added sex being the motivator for a sentencing multiplier, as first written it was sex neutral meaning it did not matter male or female.

Feminist orgs went fucking mental and wanted it changed so it only applied when a offence was committed by men against women rather than applying both directions (in theory, in practice it would have most likely very rarely applied to womens sentencing if at all).

Oh aye and devolution was fucking corrupt from day one, just look at the building of the parliament building and how pretty much one of the first thing the shower of fuckwits passed was a bastarding pay rise for their corrupt arses...

that's why my tear ducts stay dry for the rads--around 2012 they really were on top of the world, they'd gotten every demand: legal exemption from rape, mixed shelters shut down, even men's centers with 1% of the budget as theirs kiboshed

and then Yaniv came warbling over the hill

Don't forget the entire "no bio differences" started with them as well.

But yup pretty much the same from me as well.

tbf they had about as many "everyone evolves female unless the Y chromosome makes them orcs" loonies, while the other half was threatening colleagues for making fMRIs that might show a difference that wasn't "socialized"

but if your department is just you and another radfem and you throw half the students out of your 10-person class every semester, nobody's gonna come up and point out that you're just a glorified op-ed writer grabbing on to anything to justify yourself
