When I tried asking experts and advocates in Scotland about puberty blockers and the Cass Review, I found few would speak. This is what happened. holyrood.com/inside-politic…
I am holding an advice surgery next Friday 26th April 10 - 12 noon, at my constituency office, 139 Dundee St, EH11 1BP. If you are a constituent living in Edinburgh South West and would like my assistance, please call 0131 600 0156 for an appointment. joannacherry.scot/surgeries
if there was ever a time we needed strong medical leadership to give best care to a vulnerable group where quality of evidence is scant and risk of harm is high, it's right now. Scottish young people deserve same high quality care as the rest of the UK> holyrood.com/inside-politic…
Children as "lab rats": 75 out of 122 children attending one school between 1974 and 1987 have died of AIDS or hepatitis C after they were enrolled in clinical trials without consent. The infected blood scandal is part of our recent history. bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

It’s been an eventful evening but I can’t go to bed without saying how ashamed I am by this. It’s a salutary reminder of the need for my party to move on from Sturgeon’s style of government by announcement with no plans for delivery. heraldscotland.com/news/24262747.…

🚨 BREAKING: Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell has been charged in connection with the embezzlement of funds from the SNP
I have written to the Chief Constable of Police Scotland about the unsatisfactory policing of the #LetWomenSpeak event in Edinburgh on 6 April. Women’s rights including our rights to free speech & peaceful assembly will always be at the top of my agenda.
There’s no easy way to say this. Child “transition” is wrong. However much kids demand it, it’s wrong. Social “transition” is wrong. It often leads to medical and sometimes surgical “transition”. Parents: please cherish your “gender non-conforming” kids. Don’t medicalise them.
We are delighted to announce that our annual conference will be held at the QEII centre on Friday 11 October. Join us to be part of the country’s biggest gathering of LGB people in what is certain to be an unmissable day. Tickets on sale soon. Save the date!
We posted this in December 2019 to howls of outrage from those who sought to medicalise gender non-conforming kids. There’s no pleasure in being proved right, just sorrow for the distressed children who have been harmed, and exploited by ideologues. Never again!
Excellent news & a vindication for all who called for this. The systemic review in the #CassReport is an international piece of work & there is no justification for not transferring the consequent recommendations across into clinical practice in Scotland.

Lesley Riddoch’s call for Yes movement unity is spot on. “Boycotting and othering some folk for particular policy stances isn’t good enough – for one reason. Such behaviour doesn’t model the kind of Scotland we are trying to build” thenational.scot/politics/24260…
Misogyny is something experienced by women. Rape is a crime largely experienced by women. In my experience as both a prosecutor & a victim of rape threats the men who make them generally have a pretty good idea that their victim is a woman. Let’s get real.
Solicitors acting for a leading feminist organisation have served a legal claim against Plaid Cymru following a decision of the party’s NEC to revoke the group’s booking of a stall at its Spring conference ✍️@ShiptonMartin wp.me/p8Mk4U-GUR

Today: the BBC platformed uncritically a man who had trained a toddler to hear being described as a "girl" distressing; and the Labour Party issued a crap sexist advert that I doubt would have got out the door in the 70s. Grand times to be female.
The scene: Labour comms HQ Josh: What will women think? Ben: Some of them will think it's a right laugh, you know, the cool ones. Alex: What about the others? Josh: They might feel despised and taken for granted? Ben: Cool, we need them to understand that's the deal.
In addition to these concerns, there was absolutely no pushback from the interviewer on this father’s assertion that the Cass Review was ‘weak’ and ‘cherry-picked’ studies. These claims have been circulating since publication and have been comprehensively debunked.
Shocking from @BBCRadioScot . Interviewee seems determined to medically stop his 10-year-old daughter’s puberty after deciding she was a boy before she could even talk. The BBC has policies around raising safeguarding alerts. We hope they are being followed. Clips below.
Me: thinking the Labour Party surely must have learnt by now that despite the left leaning women they rely on for votes and decent policies, they are rife with misogyny and it’s time to end the decades worth of sexism. Labour Party: hold my pint.
@Shelley61265352 My professional life is as a translator. My work for LGB Alliance is, and has been from the beginning, as a volunteer. My aim is of course not to harass anyone but to promote the rights and interests of people with same-sex sexual orientation. Just as I did over 50 years ago.
@billybragg You can both be misogynists your own special ways. It's a large field.
Her: Who thought this sexist, insulting ad was a good idea? he/him of @UKLabour: smile, darling, it's only a joke. You feminists are so humourless! No wonder you're worried that your bloke wants to find other birds. etc...
@billybragg There can be more than one misogynist in a room Billy. Hope that clears things up for you.

I'm sorry, but "the story has no relevance to Scottish politics in 2024" is one of the wildest things I've seen written down on this platform, and that's really saying something.
This is what you call full blown British propaganda: x.com/magnusllewelli… The guy is no longer CEO of @theSNP his wife is no longer the leader of @theSNP the story has no relevance to Scottish politics in 2024. We in Scotland are being played. We need to vote SNP to escape!
Are the BBC and @BBCHughPym planning to focus on people who think the experiments were great, and the real problem is that children had to wait too long to be experimented on? Because apparently that’s how you cover a medical scandal bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…
Brave, from the man who absented himself this week from the vote on a statement on the Cass Report, and threw himself energetically behind the GRR Bill.
Thank God for the Scottish Greens in government. Said nobody. Ever.
This might actually be the thing that unites Scotland. Please proceed, Rainbow Greens. Scotland needs you. 👍
Additional statement: Tonight, we announce our open letter to the @scottishgreens executive, calling for an extraordinary general meeting to discuss the future of the Bute House Agreement. Once we reach 100 signatures, we will ask the SGP Executive to arrange an EGM. (🧵1/)
Labour rejects youth mobility idea from EU. No principle just pusillanimous , keen to waffle on EU UK security relations but something for youth not the swing Tory voter, run a mile
🚨🇬🇧🇪🇺🚨Labour says it has “no plans” for doing a youth mobility deal with EU — says it is “synonymous with free movement” (it isn’t) …but another poor sign for those hoping Labour will be brave on EU. /1 Via @FT on.ft.com/49NVCLf
The Rainbow Greens said not a word about missed climate targets, but puberty blockers are the red line. If anyone still labours under the delusion that the SGP's main focus is the environment rather than sterilising children, this should disabuse you of that notion!
