Let’s not rush into this

Ok ok but first we have to count the grains of sand in the Sahara.

The Scottish Government has been accused of repeatedly re-traumatising survivors of sexual violence by dragging its feet on implementing the Supreme Court ruling that clarified the definition of sex.

Speaking in a Holyrood debate on Wednesday, SNP MSP Michelle Thomson said the Government’s refusal to act swiftly following April’s judgment was “constantly re-triggering” for women who had experienced abuse.

Why is that? Because refusing to recognize women’s needs and concerns is abuse.

The motion before MSPs, lodged by Conservative MSP Pam Gosal, welcomed the Supreme Court’s ruling that the terms “man” and “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex. It congratulated the feminist campaign group For Women Scotland, which brought the case, and urged ministers to ensure their policies were updated “to be in line with the law”.

Over the weekend, Government lawyers confirmed they would contest the case.

Because women have no right to have rights. Only men have rights to have rights. Men who claim to be women especially have rights to have rights. Men who claim to be women are the most rightful of all.

Ms Thomson said she was wary of talking about herself but pushed herself to do so “as the Scottish Government has failed to engage with women who have been raped or sexually assaulted”.

“I am tired of being stuck in a Groundhog Day loop where the Scottish Government states it accepts the results of the Supreme Court judgment, insists it will definitely do something at some point — when that something is, and the timeframe, are never defined. They are asked again, they repeat the lines and so on.”

Because they love men who pretend to be women and hate women who just are women. The only good woman is a man, I guess.

Labour MSP Jackie Baillie told MSPs the Government could not be both “lawmakers and law breakers”.

She said the failure to act was creating confusion in the NHS and other frontline services, pointing to the costly employment tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie and NHS Fife.

“According to some estimates, the case of Sandie Peggie versus NHS Fife will eventually cost as much as a million pounds, not including any potential compensation. NHS Fife has already spent a quarter of a million pounds on legal fees alone, and it is the taxpayer and patients who will bear the costs.”

All because an entitled privileged man wants to pretend to be a woman.
