Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪The National: "Sarwar says Scottish Labour 'wouldn't support GRR now' in U-turn"."Labour" voted en masse to pass the heavily scrutinised 2022 <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> in the Scottish Parliament. This indefensible U-turn has been imposed by Starmer in yet another accommodation to the Anglo-British extreme right.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CaptainUTurn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CaptainUTurn</a> is busy pushing all the Great British Bigot Buttons.<a href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/24945263.anas-sarwar-says-scottish-labour-wouldnt-support-grr-now-u-turn/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.scot/news/24945263.anas-sarwar-says-scottish-labour-wouldnt-support-grr-now-u-turn/</a><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/VoteLabourGetReformUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoteLabourGetReformUK</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OptionalIdentityMark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OptionalIdentityMark</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SarwarIsStarmersPoodle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SarwarIsStarmersPoodle</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪I understand the UNHRC made a submission to Jack following the imposition of Section 35 on the Scottish Parliament's <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a>. Its submission was presumably disregarded. According to the ruling from the Court of Session in Edinburgh, Jack can do what he likes and need not justify his reasons.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GovernorGeneralPowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GovernorGeneralPowers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishDevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishDevolution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/YouYesYet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouYesYet</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪So the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> passed with a supermajority at Holyrood - by 95% of Scottish Labour MSPs as well as representatives from all the parties across the chamber - is dismissed by Anneliese Dodds of UK Labour as the SNP 'picking a fight with Westminster'. Exactly what is the point of so-called "Scottish Labour"? In their determination to throw Scottish Labour under a bus and eviscerate devolution, just what separates UK Labour from the Tories? <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/24/labour-vows-to-modernise-simplify-and-reform-gender-recognition-act" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/24/labour-vows-to-modernise-simplify-and-reform-gender-recognition-act</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪A political party with zero electoral mandate in Scotland is actively campaigning to "axe" legislation passed by a supermajority of MSPs from all parties in the Scottish Parliament.(PS It's not Sunak'sTories or Starmer's Labour and it has no MSPs at Holyrood.) <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DefendTheScottishParliament" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendTheScottishParliament</a> <a href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/23453228.alba-party-launch-petition-axe-gender-reform-bill/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.scot/news/23453228.alba-party-launch-petition-axe-gender-reform-bill/</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪Listen to "[BBC Scotland radio presenter] Gary Robertson interviewing Dr Philippa Whitford over the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRbill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRbill</a> veto challenge" on YouTube. Philippa wipes the floor with Robertson, who's patently working to a "gotcha" checklist straight out of The Daily Mail. Note how he starts attempting to shout her down when he realises he's simply embarrassing himself. <a href="https://youtu.be/Q9O3Z6PvaTE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Q9O3Z6PvaTE</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪“The Gender Recognition Reform Bill was passed by an overwhelming majority of the Scottish Parliament, with support from members of all parties.“The use of Section 35 is an unprecedented challenge to the Scottish Parliament’s ability to legislate on clearly devolved matters and it risks setting a dangerous constitutional precedent."<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@TheNational" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheNational</a> "Section 35 block on Scottish gender reform to be challenged in court". <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DefendTheScottishParliament" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendTheScottishParliament</a><a href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/23450369.section-35-block-scottish-gender-reform-challenged-court/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.scot/news/23450369.section-35-block-scottish-gender-reform-challenged-court/</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪Labour: Lineker's BBC suspension like something from 'Putin's Russia'.That's rich coming from a party that's in lock step with the Tories in summarily blocking <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/indyref2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indyref2</a> and the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a>. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/YouYesYet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouYesYet</a>

Dial M For Madeye 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪Kemi Badenoch cited by James O'Brien just now in a discussion about menopause being recognised as a serious condition in the workplace: she rejects it - it's not appropriate because there are "So many things" folk want to claim support for as involving protected characteristics including "carers, single people, having ginger hair, being short...."Arrogant and as thick as mince. This is the Tory cabinet minister who's enforcing a Section 35 order on the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a>.

Callum (he/him)I have yet to come across any single individual opposed to the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> who ticks all of the following: - Knows what a <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRC</a> does - Believes <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/transpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transpeople</a> exist and not <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/transphobic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transphobic</a> - Knows what the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Bill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bill</a> does - Supports making women-only spaces saferIf you oppose the GRR Bill and believe you fit into the above points, by all means, enlighten us with your reasons?

Jane CarnallIsn't there an issue with a SNP MP telling outright lies about how the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRbill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRbill</a>, her own party's legislation, would have affected Scottish Prison Service policy on trans prisoners? Joanna Cherry is a KC: are we to suppose she just doesn't know or understand the legislation? <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transphobia</a> is not <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> & Cherry shouldn't lie about that, either.

Gwenfar :plantmage6:Today I managed to write to my MP about the GRR bill. It was not the best letter I've ever sent, coz brain fog. But I think better an inelegant letter than no letter.Trying to live the 'perfect is the enemy of good' motto.<a href="https://rage.love/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRights</a> <a href="https://rage.love/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a>

Helen (She/Her)Just a small number of the many people turning up in Leeds to protest the appalling way the UK Government is treating trans people.Blocking the Scottish <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> is just the latest act of hostility and using trans people as pawns in their anti-woke ‘culture war’! 😖

Helen (She/Her)The Tory Government’s Section 35 objection to the Scotland <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> seems to be based on their intention that obtaining a GRC SHOULD be “difficult”.In which case, WHY did they promise to reform the GRA to make it “simpler”? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ric Lander 🦊The UK Govt frequently attacks human rights to cosy up to reactionaries, bigots and the right wing press. It's upsetting, but grimly familiar. What's new is that they're doing this on such a specific issue against the express will of the Scottish Parliament.It's quite likely this move is illegal. It'll be a while before this is clear. In the mean time, we must build solidarity with our trans siblings everywhere. 🙏🏳️‍⚧️💙 <a href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/23255022.gender-reform-scotland-nicola-sturgeon-reacts-uk-blocks-bill/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.scot/news/23255022.gender-reform-scotland-nicola-sturgeon-reacts-uk-blocks-bill/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/transrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/scottishpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scottishpolitics</a>

Helen (She/Her)It’s absolute nonsense that the Gender Recognition Act is suddenly in conflict with the EA2010 as a result of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GRRBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GRRBill</a> updates, as the interrelationship between the two laws remain EXACTLY the same. The only change is the ease of access for getting a GRC! 🤷🏼‍♀️
