Trans comedian on Channel 4 strips naked and plays the keyboard with her willy.
I'm no bothered or shocked if someone gets their welt out on TV, but it's hardly inspiring or groundbreaking like some are sayingQuote:

Is a ***** only threatening and showing it off unsolicited only offensive when it's a cis man doing it?

One side does it with false family values, and the other with pseudo-progressive zeal.
The way it's being reported sounds quite Orwellian 'her *****'.Quote:

Finally, some kick back from within government over this.
First post in this thread. Does anyone have a link to a good explainer about these issues?
I look on and just cannot get my head round the discussion.
I'm not surprised at Ash Denham's stance. Her record on other feminist-related issues, such as sex worker rights, is very poor IMO. That said, to leave it this late is pretty appalling.Quote:

One thing that I find a bit confusing about all of this is the requirement (in both old and proposed new legislation) for someone to have lived in their acquired gender for a certain period of time. What does that entail? How do you define living in your acquired gender?
You'll search in vain for an answer to that question. Just one of numerous reasons this bill doesn't stand up to scrutiny.Quote:

I sincerely hope Regan isn't the only SNP minister to put her head above the parapet and go against the wishes of 'real feminist' Sturgeon. You can tell by the FM's icy response how much being disagreed with riles her.
Jaime Greens voting with Scottish Govt. I’ve no problem with people voting against the whip on this issue. Cabinet posts have to be given up though.
It will pass tonight and then the issue will disappear because not that much is actually changing.

Sailed through. On those numbers there must have been a lot of opposition support.

Labour and Lib Dems supported. Tories had a free vote.Quote:

Aye, I could probably delve deeper if I was that bothered, turns out that I don't think I am.Quote:

Probably best no to get info from Facebook, there's obviously much more changes than that. I'm not saying for better or worse, but it's easy to Google or read through threadQuote:

apols, you answered my question on that table not being the full shebang etc but i did ask if that's all it's about, now i know it's obviously not
The majority of people polled usually only have a few objections sport, changing rooms, rape crisis and length of time before changing.Quote:

That aspect of things (ie whether anyone is trans or not) has got next to nothing to do with why there's so much controversy around this bill. It's long fought-for women's rights (and their potential erosion) which is the issue.Quote:

The most telling stat is that nine SNP MSPs defied the whip. By SNP standards that's a major rebellion...in fact probably unprecedented.
Surprised they forced the whip on thisQuote:
