Her government’s flawed understanding of equalities law led directly to the SC case and not a word of contrition.
Her mishandling of this and the SC case on referenda have set both the independence and trans rights movements back years.
What she said:
>The former first minister said no-one could question the authority of the Supreme Court.
>However, she said questions remained about how the judgment would be put into practice in a way that protects women and allows trans people to live with “dignity” and in safety.
>Sturgeon told reporters: “I think some of the early indications would raise concerns in my mind that we are at risk of making the lives of trans people almost unliveable and I don’t think the majority of people in the country would want to see that.
>”It certainly doesn’t make a single woman any safer to do that because the threat to women, as I think we all know, comes from predatory and abusive men.”
>She said it was not “inevitable” that the judgement makes the lives of trans people “impossibly difficult”, but said there was a danger that could happen depending on the way the ruling was interpreted.
>The SNP MSP told reporters if that happened then changes to the law as it stands would need to be considered.
>”It certainly doesn’t make a single woman any safer to do that because the threat to women, as I think we all know, comes from predatory and abusive men.”
Which ofc includes men like Isla Bryson and Lexi Secker right Nicola?
Right?
Someone asked u/remembracer to take a break from trying to link refugees to misogyny and physical and sexual violence, so it’s back to transphobia.
Every day it’s another headline about someone’s opinion on trans people and the SC ruling, I wish we could stop with this shit.
Sturgeon and this whole gaslighting episode of women don’t really exist is the reason the SNP are in dire straits. Most people, now they are aware of this nonsense, will wait their time and vote at the ballot against it, as we are seeing not just here but across the western world.
Sadly true and even sadder is that so many seem to actually want it that way.
So you agree this new ruling makes it impossible for trans people to exist!
It should be appealed then!
What rules were they?
The opposite ruling would make women’s lives unliveable so since there’s more of them, let’s stick with it
If only it was within the power of Parliament to just about instantly change that. If only she was sitting in Parliament, and had any influence whatsoever.
She really wants to help, but nothing can be done.

You mean she’s right?? Like she was before in trying to make lives easier for one of the most persecuted minorities in UK society???
It’s almost like it’s not actually hard to have empathy for our trans peers who are having to deal with increasing amounts of bullshit surrounding their unnecessarily politicised existence *literally daily*.
Potholes, skint councils, lack of affordable housing, drug deaths, homelessness, that twat Farrage doing well over the border yet THIS is still a fucking talking point? Why can’t the SNP, and former SNP members, not just admit they made a huge mistake getting involved with the Greens, playing into all this nonsense, and actually deal with the larger problems we face in this country? I have voted for them since I have been old enough to vote, but they are getting worse and worse by the year.
“It certainly doesn’t make a single woman any safer to do that because the threat to women, as I think we all know, comes from predatory and abusive men.”
She she’s implying it’s impossible for a trans person to be threatening, while also suggesting that men are the problem. Lovely. A real charmer, our former FM.
I have to say I’m really impressed that she’s stuck by this all this time. She has never wavered in her belief or desire to support trans people. While I’m not 100% on board with the proposed policies, I am very gladdened to see someone such as sturgeon prove it has not been pink washing, and that she does want to represent for the trans community.
Nicola who?
If only there were a body of people who could come together and pass legislation that makes the court’s ruling redundant
Can any trans person tell me what bathroom they used before all this shit became an issue. I’ve been alive for 39 years and have known about transexuals for about 30 of them but the bathroom stuff has only ever been an issue since about 2018
Here we go. Some people will shout about TERFS. They won’t accept that other people can have a different view and the thread will be closed.
Why can’t biological men just use the biological men’s toilet?
It was a mistake to comment. There are people here who frankly want us to die

And she’s right.
She never apologises.
