When women had evidence to support their arguments against the GRR Bill Scotgov rejected it on the basis of being "anecdotal." When trans activists and #Scotgov funded groups had evidence to support their arguments it was valid because it was "lived experience." Someone laughed
at Russell Findlay MSP for saying "there was no evidence there was no evidence" that self-id could present a risk to women. Of course what he meant was absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The fact most of the countries cited by Scotgov as having had problem free self-
id laws have not kept data or information on any possible impacts. Ignoring also that many women will not report and women in prison, refuges etc will be reluctant to report. We know there have been impacts. No, this is a deliberate act on the part of our democratically
Pretty devastating how this campaign has become unrecognisable in the last 30 years. #zerotolerance #scotgov

And specifically their blog. zerotolerance.org.uk/news/blog/viol…
"Petition lodged at WM by Sex Matters asks UK Gov to modify the Equality Act 2010 to put it beyond doubt that the terms “sex”, “male”, “female”, “man” and “woman” in equality law mean biological sex and not “sex as modified by a GRC." It would also legalfeminist.org.uk/2022/11/27/new…
hopefully make it illegal for #Scotgov to make funding applications by single sex services have a trans inclusive policy as a pre-condition. #Scotgov take the stance that these orgs choose to provide services based on self-id which is just a lie. They've gradually had to
"choose it" to ensure their funding continues. So we now have what once were single sex services that are not. This could be challenged now without any change to the #EqA but the dubiety about who is entitled to be seen as a woman in terms of the Act is all over the place.
My experience this week, please read & 🔄
Christmas day I developed agonising pain in my side. It was intermittant I suspected a kidney stone. I was sent to out of hours doctor on call service he referred me to the local acute hospital and I was told I had a bed
Christmas day I developed agonising pain in my side. It was intermittant I suspected a kidney stone. I was sent to out of hours doctor on call service he referred me to the local acute hospital and I was told I had a bed
When I arrived I was told they didnt realise I also had Covid. I was informed since I had Covid they no longer had a bed for me, (no spaces in the red pathway) I was given medication & a single dose of pain relief and sent home with the promise of a CT the next day
The medication wore off by 8am I was curled up in a ball crying the pain was so bad my husband called an ambulance but was told I didnt "qualify" for one and was referred to NHS 24- 10 minutes on hold, 10 minutes of irrelevant questions to be told he should take me back to A&E
Since FMQs had the FM boasting about 'progress' made on closing the attainment gap, I've made a thread on the subject. The goals #ScotGov set itself, and the realities of where we've ended up.

What is the 'attainment gap'?
In Scotland school pupils from most deprived areas do significantly worse at every level of education on average, compared to least deprived areas. This is what is meant by 'the attainment gap'.
You can see why it's an important problem. [2/17]

In a speech to Holyrood in May 25th 2016 the FM said:
"I want our work to close the attainment gap to be the mission, not just of this government or even parliament, but of the country as a whole"
So has she succeeded in closing the attainment gap in education? [3/17]

Unbelievable timeline of events if we turn our attention to November 2017 relating to #SalmondInquiry
A meeting between Leslie Evans & Sturgeon happened days after two women first made allegations. The meeting was NOT included in official timeline given to #SalmondInquiry [1/5]

In this previously undisclosed November 29th meeting #ScotGov admitted in pleadings Evans & Sturgeon met to “discuss development” of a new harassment procedure against former ministers. [2/5]
On December 5th, procedure relating to complaints against former ministers was changed. This took Sturgeon out of the loop, as First Minsters would subsequently to Dec 5th only be brought into the loop after investigations completed. [3/5]
