Feminism Fights Back

Words matter, words have power and in this column for The Scotsman Susan says some things that need to be said about biological sex and the ability of men to declare themselves to be women.

"Only two days ago, the Scottish Greens co-leader, Patrick Harvie, suggested on BBC Radio Scotland that women who believe sex matters are akin to racists. This man could be a government minister in a few weeks’ time, if the SNP needs to form a coalition with his party.

"And it now seems the most powerful woman in Scotland has turned her back on women. In a video for ‘Out for Scotland’ released earlier this week, Nicola Sturgeon announced that her “chosen pronouns are she and her.

"Stating your pronouns is the 2021 equivalent of wearing a campaign badge. It is a message to trans activists that you are on their side. It says you accept that a man with a beard and a penis is a woman if he says his pronouns are she and her."

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
