That prisoner should clearly have never been in that prison. The purported "case-by-case" system obviously isn't working as it should.Quote:

It's a dilemma. Both groups have their needs, but there may be conflict between those needs. It's a tricky one, exacerbated (in my view) by the GRA.Quote:

Detransition is a loaded term.
Importantly, it doesn’t mean an unsatisfactory or regrettable result. Rather, it simply refers to the small group of people who transition and then go back.
Try telling the growing number who detransition that to detransition doesn't mean unsatisfactory or regrettable result
Sturgeon set to water down gender reform bill?
Nicola Sturgeon could water down gender reforms for teens after SNP rebellion (msn.com)
The Greens won’t be pleased…. But they’ll suck it up as usual, those ministerial salaries are so seductive. :greengrinQuote:

I think that "safe space" issue has already been spectacularly breached with the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre situation and their CEO.
I suppose the group raising the court action won't mention this, but surely the BBC already know that this has already happened in plain sight and been reported in the media. Why can't they refer to it as the continuing erosion of protected services and safe spaces. It's already happening.

Over 150 amendments proposed to gender bill.
Some amendments will probably be made, just not the tory ones which basically seem to be that they don't want any changes to the current situation.Quote:
