Here we go again @patrickharvie @scottishgreens. Why do you continue with these lies?
Transwoman are *not* women in UK unless they have a Gender Recognition Certificate that allows them to change their sex marker on the birth certificate from male to female #HarvieHatesWomen https://twitter.com/wiljun59/status/1387728912390758410">https://twitter.com/wiljun59/...
There are approx 6k GRC holders (both sexes) in the UK and an estimated trans community of approx 600k. The vast majority of transwomen self identify, most don& #39;t take medication, certainly don& #39;t have surgery, or change their legal sex. They remain male #HarvieHatesWomen
The law allows for sex discrimination exemptions so that single-sex spaces and activities (some sports, prisons, rape Crisis centres) to exclude one sex, usually male. This applies to trans people who identify as a woman but remain male.
#HarvieHatesWomen
Even if a male obtains a GRC & changes sex marker on birth certificate to female, the Equality Act acknowledges that there may still be situations where a male with a GRC can be excluded from a female space. So once again, when asked about single-sex spaces #HarvieHatesWomen
For women @patrickharvie lies and pretends all transwomen apply to get a GRC and become legally female. This is the @EHRC guidance on this delicate area of what someone& #39;s sex is when assessing sex-based exemptions :

I am sick of the gaslighting and lies being spread during this campaign by @scottishgreens, and @patrickharvie in particular. They show little regard for sex-based rights or a realistic definition if a woman is, always rushing to discuss trans rights. #HarvieHatesWomen
I am ashamed to say I have voted for Greens in the past since their claims for making evidence, science-based decisions is clearly nonsense. And the obsession with gender rights is unnerving and misogynistic if they need to lie about the legal rights of women. #HarvieHatesWomen
Hey @patrickharvie @scottishgreens look at "Karen" here. Karen is a sex offender. Karen started dressing and "identifying" as a woman. No-one knows how genuine this was & Karen took no medication, had no surgery and, legally, Karen was male. https://twitter.com/Ecuadorian_Mum/status/1387687844861419520?s=19">https://twitter.com/Ecuadoria...
But, in an attempt to nice to the little lady, the prison authorities thought "well Karen says she is a woman so let& #39;s put this convicted paedophile and sex offender in with female prisoners". What could possibly go wrong, eh?
Except, "Karen" assaulted to female prisoners in a "No shit, Sherlock" outcome wr could all have predicted, except it seems the prison authorities and probably @patrickharvie.
Karen is now in the male prison Estate, where he should always have been, not risking vulnerable female prisoners, just for the sake is misunderstanding the single-sex exemptions in the Equality Act, and an over-eagerness to appear nice.
And this example of Karen is used a lot, and not because anyone intended to claim transwomen are sexual predators, but to show that men retain male offending patterns & paedophiles, rapists and sexual offenders have form for abusing the system to get their hands on victims.
Women, females, deserve to be treated better by institutions and politicians that have a duty for their care. Understanding legislation is the first step. Lying about legislation is unthinkable @scottishgreens when the consequence is harming women.
#HarvieHatesWomen
So if anyone reading this hears politicians making unscientific statements that have no basis in law, please do challenge them. It is not transphobic, it is asserting women& #39;s rights. We don& #39;t need to lie, like @patrickharvie @scottishgreens
