The STUC Women's committee said they wholeheartedly reject recent protests.

“It has become clear that these are not about the rights and safety of women and girls but about division and hatred.”

Wee drive out to Callander today, remembering when Mum & Dad used to take us, and we thought that mound there was so high when we climbed the steps to slide down the chute that's no longer there (probably for health & safety reasons cos it would burn your skin off!) #callander #thosewerethedays

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non-binary people exist.

This was a fact long before any of us were born, and will continue to be a fact long after we are gone.

Solidarity to my trans and enby siblings, you are loved and very very real!

Liz McGachey @lizmcg1578.bsky.social · Apr 17

I wonder, following the Supreme Court ruling yesterday, how the women that do not like to share a space with trans women are going to react once a trans man has to use a woman's toilet or changing room, or is admitted to a woman's ward 🤔
