RT @iseult: @pretendlawyer @JohannLamont @LucyHunterB @ProfTomkins @MspLiam @liamkerrMSP @HumzaYousaf @mbmpolicy @ForwomenScot @joannaccherry The responses to Johann make it entirely clear why women are afraid to speak. Freedom of expression is ...
RT @JohannLamont: @EyeEdinburgh @JohnDowson66 @HumzaYousaf @ForwomenScot Have you come across the notion of women’s groups funding themselves? Very popular back in the day when women I admired were setting up refuges for women fleeing violence. Back ...
RT @JohannLamont: And folk wonder why women are anxious about the Hate Crime bill... I have done none of these things but I have tried to speak about women’s rights. And that is deemed hateful. https://t.co/iwrpdc...
Thank you @JohannLamont, we hope @HumzaYousaf listens. It should be clear tonight how recklessly groundless accusations are deployed to silence critics. https://t.co/hceFEy...
Alistair once tried to get "smart" on us. We were hosting a meeting on women's rights which he objected to. We suggested he come along and listen to understand our PoV. He said he only would if we put a TW on the panel. We said the floor was open to ...
Love it! Or won't when I'm on the chair, but... https://t.co/y3LR2Z...
This is inconvenient fact that Yousaf and Engender ignore. Law cannot be discriminatory. That is why it is often drafted to be neutral even when the purpose is to protect a group. If they try to introduce such a law, it will fall. ...

Two of us can play the Quote Tweet game. What, *specifically*, in the 35 page report was so compelling that you chose to ignore the evidence from numerous trials in England and the recommendations of the women's orgs there? Specifically? ...
RT @campervanwoman: @HumzaYousaf Despicably, the bill offers protects male cross dressers but not women. Many of us feel betrayed and let down by the 'professional feminists' you use as your shield in your determination to leave women unprotected. ...
Definitely! https://t.co/QHDFYi...
RT @JohannLamont: @HumzaYousaf @ForwomenScot I am sure you do not think manipulative men get to determine what is legislated on. We should include women now. And when we educate, gather data, run public awareness campaigns and, yes, prosecute - the ...
RT @underaredflag: Is a curious feature of civic Scotland that the greater the percentage of a group's funding comes from Scottish Government - the greater the chance that they will adopt positions that are useful to under pressure Scottish Govt ...
RT @JohannLamont: @HumzaYousaf What concerns are so overwhelming - and where is the evidence of the scale of the problem - that has led to women being excluded? I have not seen details of the concerns or the evidence. And the point remains - bill to ...

Thank you @iseult for writing about our #HateCrimeBill and for writing to our MSPs about the #ChillingEffect https://t.co/rQ9uU6...
RT @iseult: Seriously - now they are even calling for the political representatives to lose the whip for relaying the concerns of actual voters .... It is quite epic really ... have a word now #ChillingEffect https://t.co/zNtlxV...
An interesting examination on the current state of play from @alexmassie. References the greater protection for cross-dressers than women in Hate Crime Bill and the feedback loop between Gov and the funded lobby groups. https://t.co/k73Mst...

RT @JohannLamont: Common sense and the #HateCrimeBill in clear conflict. We know the risks women face on a daily basis. And yet hatred of women is too ‘complex’ to be included in a bill designed to protect people from hate? https://t.co/uWL4Hv...
