Rejecting concerns
Of course she does.
Sturgeon rejects UN concerns about reform of Scotland’s gender law
She rejects women’s concerns, too. Men who claim to be women are the only people who matter.
Nicola Sturgeon has described the concerns of a UN special rapporteur about plans to reform how people change their legal sex in Scotland as “not well founded”.
During a robust session of first minister’s questions, Sturgeon also said Shona Robison, the minister in charge of the controversial gender recognition reform bill, would meet the special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, next week.
The Scottish Conservative leader, Douglas Ross, repeatedly challenged Sturgeon to delay the bill – which was the subject of the Scottish National party’s biggest ever backbench revolt last month – after a highly critical letter from Alsalem to the UK government.
In it she raised concerns that the reforms “would potentially open the door for violent males who identify as men to abuse the process of acquiring a gender certificate and the rights that are associated with it”.
But Sturgeon is entirely confident that men who want to abuse women are far too honorable and decent to exploit trans idenninies in pursuit of their hobby.
Sturgeon said the bill had gone through lengthy public consultation and was undergoing intense parliamentary scrutiny. “It’s really important that we remember all of us see protecting women and girls as a priority, but I hope all of us also see protecting the rights of trans people as important too,” she said.
But what rights? It’s not a “right” for men to go into spaces reserved for women.
Everyone in the public eye needs a gimmick of some sort to enable them to stand out from the crowd in the general scramble for attention. What better for a politician than to be the centre of never-ending controversy over some sort of human rights issue.? Speak well of their name, speak ill of their name, but speak their name.!
“but” immediately erases everything that came before it. The effect of the words after the “but” annihilates any protection for women and girls. “Protecting women and girls” instantly becomes a non-priority.
I think the idea is that male predators won’t abuse the law, because that would mean pretending to be women, which is just such an onerous, degrading prospect no male, even a predator, would consider it unless moved by the infinite suffering of gender dysphoria.
Or something.
