Are there drugs in the porridge or what?
The Scottish parliament has been accused of making women statistically “invisible” after removing information on whether MSPs are male or female from Holyrood’s website.
The Scottish Conservative MSPs Rachael Hamilton and Meghan Gallacher have written to parliamentary authorities seeking a full explanation on why the decision was made and whether there are plans to reinstate female on the website as a category.
I bet we can guess why the decision was made. What sex people are is so last century; we need to let everyone run free, except of course women, who have to be harshly punished every time they neglect to call a man “she”.
Until this week, the site provided an option to list MSPs by party affiliation and by gender, with options showing as male and female during the last parliamentary session.
However, the change has been made after the election of two Scottish Greens trans MSPs this month.
The newly elected Glasgow MSP Iris Duane, who identifies as a trans woman, has been included in the female list, while a new option has been created for Q Manivannan, who identifies as non-binary.
