Long after

News outta Scotland:

The Scottish Green Party has suspended Beth Douglas from the role of Rainbow Greens co-convener, after a series of “violent” tweets.

Douglas has been accused of using derogatory language on social media, supporting controversial protests against women, inflaming debate by calling feminists ‘fascists’ and posing with weapons for Twitter pictures that threaten “cis” people.

Oh is that all.

Douglas, who still has the job title in her Twitter bio, has been in the “public facing” representative role for LGBT+ members of the Scottish Greens and attended Holyrood equality committee evidence sessions.

The use of the offensive word Terf -Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist- used to describe women who criticise gender ideology, features heavily on Douglas’s social media, along with unfounded allegations that they are “fascists”.

There are also images of Douglas holding an axe and a knife circulating social media. Holding up a knife in a threatening way, one of the captions for the images says “I heard yall hate trans women, knives and axes”.

Oh you mean this one?

The date on it is October 22, 2020. It’s more than two years old. Wouldn’t you think the Scottish Green Party could have acted a little more quickly? Wouldn’t you think they would ask themselves why they wanted that guy in that kind of job?
