Well Done - For Women Scotland!
“For all the Scottish government has sought to downplay this, this amendment is a victory for women and should ensure that Scottish ministers will never again be so foolish as to attempt to overwrite the Equality Act to the detriment of women.”https://t.co/AW8zy8lRzd

SNP ministers tried to change the definition of a woman to allow men who self-ID as female to be counted as women - for the purpose of evaluating membership of Scotland's public bodies and quangos.
SNP ministers argued that a public body could be regarded as 'balanced' from a 50/50 male to female perspective even if the 50% group of women were made up of men who self-identify as women.
Bonkers or what?
