Funny how you stalk FWS on X but only post publicly about it here in the post-modern gender ideology bubble of BlueSky. And they're simply pointing out that you are uncritically regurgitating the lies of @amnestyuk.bsky.social - who are running away from their nonsense faster than Trump does.

FWS are not making this claim. The measure of harm that @amnestyuk.bsky.social has done to our org by encouraging people to spread these wild and malicious lies is incalculable.

We have written to @amnestyuk.bsky.social @amnesty.org @amnestyscotland.bsky.social about their malicious and defamatory report.

@bellingcat.com Some pretty serious allegations about Bellingcat's role in smearing women's right campaigners to aid trans extremists I've always admired them, but this is absolutely unacceptable Twitter link x.com/ForWomenScot... @forwomen.scot

Actually, sharing it only disseminates the defamation and increases potential costs. I doubt @amnestyuk.bsky.social will thank you, especially as the removal suggests they know the law is not with them.

Scottish Government will not appeal Lady Ross's ruling on prisons.

A perfectly normal day over on this twitter as the Scottish government lose again to the courageous ladies of For Women Scotland. This time, the courts have agreed with FWS that there's no case for men to be in women's prisons. #SexMatters

Only call 999 in an emergency. Anything else is irresponsible & risks blocking attention from life-threatening situations. If it is an emergency, do not report to a website which does not pass the information to the police. If you are an MSP, you should be on top of this.

Take care of one another, report any hate to 999 and @reporthate.scot. But do not let the bastards get you down — be loud, be in the sun, do not hide away. (5/5)

One interesting thing about FWS 3 is the firm position on bright line rules. For years as a lawyer working in the private and commercial law sphere the notion from some that everything needed to be treated case by case bemused me. That's just not how law works ordinarily.

You'll be pleased to learn that we have never received money or support of any kind from the Heritage Foundation. Any more lies you want to make up or do you have something concrete to attack us with?

It's shockingly disingenuous for @scottishtrans.bsky.social to use the case of Riley who was held in solitary because he was resisting moves to the female estate (he wanted to be in the general pop in Perth). STA didn't even attend his case conference. www.scottishtrans.org/statement-on...

They weren't complying with the law, 178] Sex segregation in prisons in Scotland is lawful. The statutory scheme, based on the EA 2010 and the 2011 Rules, requires separate prison accommodation for men and women. Following FWS 2, this means sex segregation in prisons according to biological sex.

A number of those with long experience, including the former governor of Cornton Vale were disregarded and warned about the policy and the adverse impact on the many women with trauma in the prison estate, whose interests were largely disregarded in developing the policy

FWS win on prisons guidance in Scotland. Prison accommodation to be required for men and women based on biological sex. ECHR arguments considered and confer no right to be housed in prisons of the opposite biological sex. Not a surprising decision.
