"A man’s a man for a’ that": Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard, who certainly knew the difference between men & women.
"Searle also gave us some of the greatest hits from the brain-addled activist songbook. For example, she - a hospital consultant, remember, not a three-year-old - said she would not have known what sex Upton was “assigned at birth” because this was not her area of expertise."
Witnesses in Sandie Peggie's tribunal are humiliating themselves and undermining trust in doctors. My @scotonsunday column: scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
If you're claiming nobody knew Upton was a man until I said it, I would refer you to your own eyes.
Nonsense.

We're surely at the point we need to get more familiar with who is running the institutions of Scotland and accountable for using their standing to do things like claim there are "1.1m intersex people in the UK"? museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/about-mgs/our-…
Museums Galleries Scotland has responded to the EHRC Consultation. It is concerned that the interim guidance is not in the “spirit of inclusion”. It is also worried about the “1.1 million intersex people in the UK”. museumsassociation.org/museums-journa…
I find it offensive to be pressured into calling him ‘she’. See how that works? It’s his narcissistic injury versus my moral injury, but only one of us is demanding the dismantlement of the other one’s rights.
Thread. If someone had a campaign to go to school and hand out badges to children to wear that said people would be safe with them, you’d think it was a really BAD idea wouldn’t you? I mean. Really. Really bad. Right? 1/
Precise, powerful and sublime from @Docstockk All substance, zero filler. “The higher they flew in daring reconstructions of familiar concepts, the further there was to fall, should their central proposition be later rejected. And surely it eventually would be. For “woman”…
It’s worth remembering, that these people are not arguing that they shouldn’t be a gents and a ladies, only that the *only* way we can have them is if the rules say anyone can go to the one they prefer and no one can ever challenge anyone for being in the wrong place./
It believes that to “avoid discrimination, it would require every single person using toilets to be checked” at substantial staff costs. MSG is Scottish Government funded. It delivered 1.7 million worth of grant funding in 2024/25. museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk
I have worked with hundreds of bone marrow or stem cell transplant patients. Not one of them ever changed biological sex as a result.
The most concerning thing about the nonsense spouted about bone marrow transplants & chromosomal conditions yesterday was wondering how this would land with the panel. Rare conditions are, sadly, too often weaponised (I fear "our" side is also guilty), so a 🧵
No coverage of the Sandie Peggie case on @BBCRadioScot newspaper review. After last week’s daft rant they had a duty to redress the balance with a well informed commentator on identity politics instead we get Liz Lloyd, one of the architects of the mess, & Brian Taylor 🤦♀️

But what is striking is the absence of any voice from a mainstream pragmatic management perspective saying “Are you mental? This can’t possibly be a crime? And by what process of reasoning are we concluding it’s even a disciplinary matter? Show your working please.”
I agree. And in Scotland particularly the messaging around the hate crime bill, which was essentially routine consolidation, is a separate problem. Fundamentally the SG wanted its activists to think it went much further than it actually does - eg criminalising misgendering.
Ministers are still confident in the Fife board, even after a week of the most damning evidence. Absolutely astonishing. heraldscotland.com/news/25343552.…

If Margaret Currer thinks bone marrow transplants change your sex or cause a DSD, she should be struck off! Also for the doctor's future ref: 45, X0 Turner's female 47, xyy Jacob's male 47, xxy Klinefelters male She shouldn't be giving evidence on something she is so ignorant…
MC marrow transplant so carry both. Sex chromosomes in addit to XX (F)and XY, can be XO where the other chromosome is blank. YO is not survivable. Also XXY and XYY. These are all recognised syndromes JR Are there names? MC Xo is Turners. XYY is Klinefelters and XXY is?
