Cannot quite believe that the Scottish justice system has just put a violent man convicted today of raping two women in women’s prison Cornton Vale housing some of the most vulnerable women in our country. Ministers need to explain why and take responsibility.

Disagree with @LynnesnpR here. Why are mixed sex toilets inclusive? All evidence shows that girls are better protected when they have female private facilities. Mixed sex toilets in schools is also against @scotgov guidelines. So why do it in Dundee schools?

’What are gender-free toilets, do we need them and should our schools have them?’ - my argument against them in today’s Sunday Post.

@ShonaRobison in @ScotParl you asked everyone to be respectful. Is this respectful from a Minister? Will you ask her to withdraw these remarks?

@DundeeCouncil ⁩ Can you confirm that our schools are not introducing gender neutral toilets? They contravene govt policy and international standards. Councils’ ‘gender neutral’ school toilets ignore Children & Young People’s Commissioner

I hope you get a full answer @joannaccherry When I asked @NicolaSturgeon about English court ruling on puberty blockers and Sandyford in @scotparl I got a patronising reply that English law is not binding in Scotland… I’m hoping @scotgovhealth is now taking this seriously.

Come on @Feorlean ! Just because @BrianWilson1967 doesn’t agree with you? There are plenty of Scots who want change but don’t think nationalism offers it. That is still a valid position believe it or not

Brian is a tragedy. Once a skilled writer & campaigner his bitterness arising from thwarted entitlement has reduced him to writing the same column over & over again - a scream of #SNPbad rage which is really an attack on every Scottish voter who aspires to a better life.

There are huge cross border issues with this bill that @ShonaRobison needs to address. We can’t put women and girls at risk in the rest of the UK as well as Scotland.

EXC: UK govt may not recognise a proposed new system in Scotland to allow people to legally change their gender. They're also not ruling out a legal challenge. This could could hugely complicate matters for anyone changing gender in Scotland and then moving elsewhere in UK (1/5)

A review of Sandyford and children being given puberty blocking drugs is long overdue in Scotland. @NicolaSturgeon and @ShonaRobison should order an independent review. This is about children’s safety and safeguarding.

This is wrong. @NicolaSturgeon must order a review of Sandyford and “gender identity” treatment of children. Lives are being destroyed in the name of “progress”.

Hi @GlasgowPam Wondering if you and I can have a public conversation on here about self ID, trans, women and everyone’s rights. Think it might help bring some light. Let me know if you want to do this. Jenny

For the avoidance of doubt. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. For as long as I’m an MSP, equality means equality, for everyone, without exception.

This is just not credible ⁦ @NicolaSturgeon ⁩ I watch you read your big file of briefings in Parl all the time. Every politician needs the facts coherently organised on paper to digest and reflect on in your own time. Why wouldn’t you ask for this?

It would be really helpful to hear @ShonaRobison or @NicolaSturgeon on @BBCr4today to explain these proposals. Or maybe @BBCWomansHour Odd the ministers declined to speak.

Segment just now on @BBCr4today about yesterday's intervention by EHRC on plans to reform the GRA in Scotland. The Scottish Government declined to be interviewed, which is odd. Why not defend your position, if you are confident of it?

The most intelligent and robust analysis of the Hate Crime Bill and its impact on women’s rights came from MBM. I am donating to this vital work. Well worth consideration.
