Not bigotry not prejudice not hatred
A Green MSP has been urged to resign after accusing the UK’s highest court of spreading “bigotry, prejudice and hatred” by ruling that a trans woman is not a woman.
Maggie Chapman, who is deputy convener of Holyrood’s equalities committee, was filmed lambasting the Supreme Court at a gathering of trans activists in a street in Aberdeen at the weekend.
The North East Scotland MSP and high-profile trans activist said that the “prejudice” evinced by the court was “not in our name, never in our name”.
Ah yes, the “prejudice” of saying that men are not women.
But feminist campaigners and the Tories accused Ms Chapman of attempting to “smear” the Supreme Court and argued she should resign, either as an MSP or as the committee’s second-in-command.
Akua Reindorf KC, a commissioner at the UK’s equalities watchdog, said that she was “deeply concerned” at an elected politician making “irresponsible and entirely false allegations of bigotry and hatred” directed at the judiciary.
And for what? For saying that women are women! How did we get here?
The Telegraph punishes Chapman by choosing a very silly photo of her to place under that paragraph.
The footage of Ms Chapman’s speech, posted on X, showed her telling trans activists: “And we say not in our name to the bigotry, prejudice and hatred that we see coming from the Supreme Court and from so many other institutions in our society. Not in our name, never in our name.”
It’s not bigotry, or prejudice, or hatred, to say that men are not women. It’s ridiculous and horrifying that people at the top of government keep trying to force us to say otherwise. Maggie Chapman is a nightmare for women.
For Women Scotland posted on X: “Insane comments from an elected politician as she accuses the highest court in the land of ‘bigotry, prejudice and hatred’.
“Remember, this woman is deputy convener of the committee that looked at the GRR. She clearly cares nothing for the law and is unfit to be an MSP.”
Joanna Cherry KC, a former SNP MP and an outspoken critic of self-ID, posted on X: “It is wholly inappropriate for any parliamentarian to speak about the judiciary in this way and to so misrepresent their judgement. This person is not fit to convene a parliamentary committee on equalities, human rights and justice. She should resign her position.”
She should learn the differences between women and men.
Funny, she was fine with the actual bigotry, prejudice, and hatred towards women who said “No” that was coming from so many institutions in her society. She was fine with the subversion of the normal democratic process, that resulted in the behind-closed-doors capture by trans ideology of government bodies, including police, courts, and prisons, that persecuted and prosecuted these women? That put men into women’s spaces, including hospital wards, rape shelters, and prisons? Will she admit that all of that was “done in her name?”
Unfit, unqualified, incompetent — that seems to be the prerequisite for so many political keeners.
