Common Ground vs Gender Ideology

What a load of old bollix this turned out to be, as evidenced by the First Minister's support for the hotly disputed policy of self-identification for people to change sex under the law - despite opposition from the great majority of Scots.


  

Medical Oversight vs DIY and Self-ID (January 14, 2022)



Nicola Sturgeon is being disingenuous in suggesting that  that reforming the Gender Recognition Act is not really controversial because the right to change sex under the law already exists.

Indeed it does, but the current process is led by medical oversight and not by the absurd notion that people should be able to declare themselves male or female, as they wish, via what amounts to a process of self-identification.

 Which Type of Doctor are You?

I'm not the world's biggest expert, but I know that women must be medically assessed to access a wide range health treatments issues including:

  • HRT
  • IVF 
  • Cesarian section
  • Hysterectomy 
  • Breast reduction 

So what sense does it make to argue that professional medical oversight is not required and that self-ID is all that's necessary for people to change their sex by law?

Medical Oversight and Changing Sex (December 17, 2021)


The majority of Scots agree there should be proper medical oversight of any person wishing change their sex by law.

Not surprising when you consider that women require a medical referral to terminate a pregnancy and also that medical oversight is built into proposed new laws on assisted dying.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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'.
