My ex is now threatening to sue me for libel because I have continued to discuss the 2013 incident publicly and in the press.
He was charged, he dragged the case out, he pled guilty, he has a conviction for it.
But I want you to understand that he feels emboldened now.
For all the TRA mob who don’t understand: Brodie’s is a support group for women who’ve lost babies through domestic violence or forced termination. Run by women for women. I refer you all to the last paragraph of my pinned statement. Nothing transphobic about safeguarding!
If anything happens to me, if I go missing or my body turns up I want the world to know that Stuart McKinnon Hunter is my killer. Don’t let the police cover up their failures, they are just as culpable in this! Keeping people safe aye? Pull the other one lads it plays a tune
I don’t care if you have a GRC I’m still not letting you attend my support group to pretend you’ve miscarried due to domestic abuse. As I said in my speech at the women’s rights picnic even if I’ve to hold the meetings in my front room to avoid being forced that’s what I’ll do!
My daughter was accosted in the school toilets by an 18yr old male who wanted to know if she was a boy or girl! He punched her in the face when she tried to get past him. She punched him right back. Guess who got suspended? Oh boy did the teachers get schooled at the meeting!
The forbidden planet store in Glasgow has announced on Facebook that it’s a “safe space” and smeared the let women speak event as an anti trans protest. I’ve shopped in that store for years and the Edinburgh one. They’ve just lost the custom of my family forever.
Proudman demanding that mothercare change its name to parentcare despite all the stores closing in November 2019 is just what I’ve come to expect from she/her 🙄
So our Quality Polis couldn’t find him apparently, not only did I recognise my blue haired ex pal, but it took me less than a couple of hours work with just my iPhone to find him. So what exactly are the polis busy doing? Because it’s no solving crime.
Women are 70 times more likely to be killed in the weeks after leaving their abusive partner than at any other time during the relationship.
Think about that next time you believe “why didn’t you just leave?” is a valid question.
@MForstater
I run a support group group for women who’ve lost babies through domestic abuse. No men allowed. Currently legal for that exclusion. Regularly get abuse though because apparently it’s cruel to Tw. Nope it’s actually cruel to expect traumatised women to be props in a fetish.
A very important case: A male demands access to a female only app/space when told no he throws a fit claims he’s a woman and demands access, compensation and a grovelling apology. Another entitled male who can’t take no for an answer!

Update: I’ve just had a phone call and full apology from
@PoliceScotland
regarding the conduct of the officers on Saturday. The gentleman dealing with the complaint could not have been more polite or apologetic. The officer concerned will be dealt with appropriately.
I held it together for three days after I lost my son Brodie. I was raped and left bleeding on my living room floor by his father. I cleaned up and pretended everything was ok. Because it was my daughters graduation and I didn’t want it ruined. The reason COPFS let him walk free
Dear
@PerthandKinross
, in 2017 we fled our abuser via womens aid for the first time in years we felt safe. Your staff stole that peace and safety by revealing our whereabouts to our abuser (documented in family court bundle) you tried to cover this up. We moved again. Another /1
Had to call the police last night over an individual filming and making sexual comments to my neighbours and I’s children- police response? They’ll make a diary appointment sometime! This is an ongoing daily thing and frankly
@PoliceScotland
your response is a disgrace!!
@Belstaffie
Including sending two officers from Edinburgh to speak to me regarding the Brodie’s Trust statement - both officers, who were detectives, agreed nothing transphobic was said and they agreed with my stance. This character shouldn’t be anywhere near Rape crisis.
@PeterTatchell
A mere 80! Oh well we can do away with trans day of remembrance here then since a mere 0 have been murdered in the UK whilst 3+ women a week are killed by men… since we’re playing that game. And stonewalls trans suicide stats were based on a “mere”40…
To every single MP who is proudly spouting how they voted down an erasure of parental rights & responsibility. Let me say: People who encourage children to keep secrets from their parents shouldn’t be anywhere near children at all ever! It’s a grooming tactic. Shame on you all!
So
@PoliceScotland
I’ve just had 2 of your finest round as one of the lads mums attempted to gain entry to my home in order to smash my phone up & made threats. Your officers were rude, engaging in victim blaming and refused to look at my evidence out calling me a “stupid bitch”
Just to clarify: nowhere in this tweet do I mention Depp. I don’t know why the Deppford wives have shown up.
He’s using threats of repeated litigation as a tool of manipulation. It’s not libel because he pled guilty thus admitting the offence. There are no “allegations”
#TheMurrayQuestion
Should I send traumatised women to a service where I’m reliably informed service users have been further traumatised and the ceo makes disturbing comments regarding rape victims?
Anyone from our current Scottish Government care to answer?
I told them straight that the ideology they push in school reinforces rigid gender stereotypes that wouldn’t be out of place in the 1950’s. That there’s nothing wrong with my daughter being a tom boy, but that she’s female and proud of it. She didn’t owe this boy anything
Still never going to let a man into or near our support group. GRC won’t magically make him capable of losing a baby through domestic abuse. He’ll still be a ghoul trying to play pretend. I will safeguard the women attending with my last breath.
@JeanHatchet
@judgejules75
I’ve had my support group and my campaign targeted in this way as ‘trans exclusionary’ - I run a support group for women who’ve lost babies through domestic abuse. The insanity of attacking essential survivor support is getting ridiculously common.
Make it make sense: women flee for their lives and safety and you’ll just house the abuser they’ve fled from near them putting them in the same position they fled from?! Are you insane? I mean you must be absolutely nuts to think this is acceptable? Or that I’ll wheesht! /3
When we made this statement it was because we were disturbed and horrified by the way MW was speaking about victims of sexual violence. We felt it wasn’t right to direct already vulnerable and traumatised women to a service that would further harm their recovery.
It has now been confirmed that the 31 year old victim was formerly in a relationship with Abdul Edazi. I called it as soon as I heard it and was blasted on line and off! (You can’t say that you don’t know…) The most dangerous time for a woman is in the months post separation.
In 2002 my ex tried to have me sectioned - he claimed I had severe mental health “issues” and was an alcoholic. Neither was true. But there’s still friends of his who repeated it like gospel. Not everything we hear about others is true or accurate. Consider the source….
Want to know how saturated in porn and entitlement today’s young boys are - I’ve had to report 4 last night for sending hardcore porn gifs to my daughters along with covertly taken video and photos taken of the girls in school. Police Scotland suggested “it’s just banter” - 🤬
No I’m not airing my dirty laundry in public. It’s not my dirty laundry. It’s not my secret. I’m still astounded that society deems it more shameful to be raped than to be a rapist. The shame is not mine to bear.
Going to have a toasted hot cross bun and a cup of tea.. I will be in the company of two other females. Is this permitted? I wouldn’t want to offend anyone or make them have a mad angry cry.
In 2013 my ex hit me with his car, deliberately, I was dragged along the road in front of my daughters and I miscarried due to my injuries. He pled guilty. In 2014 a sheriff sentenced him to pay me £300 compensation “for my loss”
@Aja02537920
I’m ready- I’ll be straight on the phone at 8.30am - Then I’ll be emailing the council (our local councils run schools in Scotland) I’m not standing for this. x
of your staff members was giving telephone updates to our abuser against the court recommendation of no contact. Again you attempted to cover this up and gaslight me. I now learn my ex is applying for housing here and that you see no valid reason why you should decline? /2
I have gained a lot of new followers over the last couple of days. I thought it was a good time to tell my story of why I do what I do. In 2013 my ex partner deliberately hit me with his car, was dragged 5-6ft along the road embedding grit into my skin and shredding my clothes
@GBNEWS
The fact is women and children had complained about his behaviour and presence… that should be enough there’s obviously way more to this incident than is in the public domain.
@KirstieMAllsopp
Honestly Kirstie - read the room!
The WI gave a membership to man who has a kill list of women he wants to murder! Given that 2/3 women a week are killed by men in the UK (yes a week!) not great optics! You support his violent intent?
I went to reply but the tweet was deleted…. “You have no idea what it’s like to be a young girl having your privacy and boundaries invaded by an adult male- therefore your opinion doesn’t count. You think it does but it doesn’t.”
Posted up about Adrian Harrop on my Facebook - another friend unfriended me, then proceeded to post elsewhere that I hold “dangerous” views and I’m “disappointingly” a terf!
Wow! Well being a biological realist really does sort the wheat from the chaff friend wise huh?
@MhairiHunter
@PuppyMonsterBo1
@holyroodmandy
@EHRC
Should I allow men in dresses along to my support group to pretend to have miscarried and use my group as a validation prop? Because I got piled on and threatened when I told one he couldn’t come. I’d love to know your thoughts on this.
God I really wish journalists would back off! I’m a mother and I have women to support - bombardment of my personal social media 24/7 is NOT okay. Sending me friends requests on my personal Facebook- big nope too! Boundaries people!!
As a mother of 5 let me just stress that 16 year olds can be absolute eejits who do incredibly stupid things on whim sometimes. Their brain is not fully developed yet. Our job is to guide them and, as far as possible, help them avoid pitfalls. Not to usher them into disaster
I’m actually so tired of men equating womanhood with the performance of feminine stereotypes. Lipstick and a dress doesn’t make you a woman anymore than putting on a Batman suit would make you Adam West!
Just been called a liar, stupid, not very bright, and accused of harassment of TiF by Frances Coppola. She may wish to apologise for these allegations or she may not. But I think I’ve been clear, and any further tweets count as harassment in scots law.
@Forbes
Credit where credit is due:
@PoliceScotland
the two officers who attended this morning were brilliant. Totally understanding, and taking matters very seriously. The explained to us everything that they were going to do (and it’s a lot) Now that’s how it’s done! Take notes!
Why do I do what I do?
In 2013 my ex partner Stuart McKinnon Hunter deliberately drove his car at me dragging me along the road. I was 6 weeks pregnant and lost my baby as a result. His punishment was an order to pay me £300 for my loss! This left him free to carry on abusing me
I’ve just asked her two questions, since apparently Mhairi Hunter believes I’m transphobic, I’m expecting either being blocked or another visit from the quality polis.
The only way to live as a woman is to actually be a woman! It’s not how girly your name is, it’s not daft pronouns, a hairstyle or how you dress. It’s just biological fact.
And there you go, I’m in no way breaking the law by excluding all men (no matter how they identify) from my support group I do so to prevent further trauma & respect the privacy and dignity of the women I support
Aaannd my gut instinct was correct again! Sheesh!
And what part of our “for women who have experienced pregnancy loss through domestic abuse or forced termination” does this dude believe he fits into?
I love how all the papers I declined interviews to just went ahead and did a story anyway getting my age wrong by 3 years and telling my perpetrator exactly where I live… brilliant -well done!
I’m not supposed to tweet about this because my ex finds it deeply distressing. So: In 2013 Stuart McKinnon Hunter deliberately hit me with his car in front of my children causing me to miscarry. He pled guilty at court in 2014 and his sentence was to pay me £300 ‘for my loss’!
@janeyjstarling
Hi Janey- is it moral panic for me to have to put measures in place to protect my support group (for women who have lost babies through DV or forced termination) like needing to change venue frequently and keep it secret because men with a fetish want to come and play pretend?
A 🧵 on Police Scotland:
I support women who’ve experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or forced termination due to that abuse. Much of my evenings are spent chasing up cases where Police Scotland officers have 1/
This isn’t libel or allegations it’s fact.
So if you want to dance let’s dance. But understand you will not silence me you will not control me and you will not dictate to me what I can and can’t do. I am not your victim anymore!
@MhairiHunter
@PuppyMonsterBo1
@holyroodmandy
@EHRC
Oh please do! Should I send traumatised women to a service where I’m reliably informed service users have been further traumatised and the ceo makes disturbing comments regarding rape victims?
I have given birth to 5 children. Their sex was observed and recorded. For 3 of them their sex was observed at 20wks on ultrasound. This assigned nonsense needs to stop! Are babies assigned ten fingers and toes? No midwife is playing eenie meenie miney mo in the delivery room!
@Socratesobvs
Waste of time - shower of gaslighting misogynistic eejits who don’t give a toss until we’re dead and they’re trotting out that tired old “lessons will be learned” speech…
I know quite a few people are keen to donate to Brodie’s Trust. For the moment I’m holding off posting anything up - firstly until the clone account is actually down. And secondly I’m now being accused of all sorts of things and just need a break from it.
Thanks everyone x
@safelives_
Are you serious?! The police moved them there because the men in balaclavas attacked a women (on video) and encircled the statue where they’d intended to meet. The men you’re sticking up for were mocking victims of DV and rape!! As a survivor I’m absolutely disgusted at you!!!
@ripx4nutmeg
Insanity. If I was an expectant mother and got referred to as a “birthing person” or “gestational carrier” I’d be out that door faster than they could blink. And I’d find someone who knew at least basic biology to take care of my unborn child and I. It’s utterly dehumanising.
I am truly humbled by all the messages of support you’re all wonderful. We are safe for now and I have family coming up to stay. My Dad was up today too. It’s so reassuring to know how many really care about us and so many close by offering support. If we need we’ll holler 💜
@GCBeeGee
@PoliceScotland
Apparently my daughters fault for being on social media, mine for reporting… I’m making their job difficult. They can’t prove the boys sent it… didn’t even look!!
I apologise if I’m a bit sharp atm. Tomorrow is the anniversary of losing Brodie. Knowing that in a few days I’ll be opening up about my trauma in the Scottish Parliament is a bit raw for me. I’m trying to be brave as I know I’m a voice for many others. Women are counting on me
Lindsay Watson the so called trans serving police officer who are they and why they so obsessed with me all of sudden? Are they even a serving police officer? If so what force because I’m reporting them to their force.
Oh
@PoliceScotland
I was really rather disappointed to find out that regarding the lads who sent my daughters porn online- despite your promises- you’ve actually done nothing. The youth justice assessor has no information on the incident. Social work only aware through me.
I have some suggestions for
@NicolaSturgeon
as a survivor of DV - it should be a criminal offence to reveal the whereabouts of a victim who has fled to her abuser.
- there should be a national register of perpetrators of domestic violence.
-
@PoliceScotland
and all professionals
Safeguarding is a thing. We were all for it as a society a decade ago. Now apparently safeguarding is bigotry.
Safeguarding is important. It’s important for children and important for women especially the traumatised and vulnerable.
Last year I was approached by the BBC regarding my campaign etc. I spoke with a producer and she told me “we want to be behind you working on this” - some things were agreed. The next day I was arrested (falsely) but warned by a DI Murray Scott that I should not do the programme
