Mridul Wadhwa is the trans-identified male CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre. As has been much reported, he made some deeply alarming comments when appearing on The Guilty Feminist podcast earlier this month.

We have reported on Mridul Wadhwa in the past, making the following points:

  • He has no GRC so is still legally male.

  • He lied about his sex to secure a job at Forth Valley Rape Crisis Centre.

  • He objected to an amendment allowing rape victims to choose the sex of the medical clinician examining them.

  • Pursuing political ambitions, he took a place on an SNP all-women shortlist.

  • He has demonstrated a shocking lack of knowledge regarding legislation that affects women’s services, a sector in which he’s worked for over a decade.

  • He is ‘disappointed’ by the single-sex provisions allowed for in the Equality Act 2010 and finds them ‘discriminatory’ against transwomen.

  • He sided with serial litigant and period-obsessed paedophile, Jonathan Yaniv, against a group of migrant women.

  • He seems to think it suitable to discuss whether rape victims experience orgasm.


If Wadhwa’s contempt for women wasn’t already apparent, his appearance on The Guilty “Feminist” Podcast made it perfectly clear. (For Women Scotland have compiled a transcript of the entire broadcast.) Denying that women who’ve suffered male violence need female-only spaces, he made this shocking statement:


“Sexual violence happens to bigoted people as well… If you bring unacceptable beliefs that are discriminatory in nature, we will begin to work with you on your journey of recovery from trauma. But please also expect to be challenged on your prejudices… You have to reframe your trauma… To me, therapy is political”.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

SNP Hypocrites Have No Shame

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

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'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
