    “This will lead to women and young girls being sexually assaulted in places that were once women only spaces.”

    There, sorted that for you crazy, dyed in the wool Sturgeonistas….

    Rev Stu says:-

    “Just hold it in, girls.”

    That has to be one of the saddest and most honest quotes of the Sturgeon legacy.

    Because it sums up the reality of the situation.

    You’re going to get female woman and girls running from toilets and changing rooms from all around Scotland in utter fear, after they witnessed some Perverted creep enter their very own private spaces.

    That is what is coming down the line with a Sturgeon majority.

    Think before you vote.

    Don’t Vote SNP.

    Remember that the SNP don’t have a majority on Edinburgh City council. They are in a minority coalition with Labour. So for this to pass, it has to have the support of three or four parties by my calculations. I’d be interested to see how many councilors if any voted against this idea.

    This is a problem that is not unique to the SNP. Parties from across the political spectrum support this shit. It’s systemic. Yes attack Nicola Sturgeon, but this problem goes so much wider than just the SNP

    Soon we’re going to need official translators to go around interpreting truth and honest expression into legally acceptable alternative terms. The pronoun police got a promotion.

    Yesterday, the SNP Twitter posted a video of a ‘celebrity’ quite clearly NOT saying “make it both votes SNP on Thursday” under a hard graphic banner unambiguously stating “Martin Compston says make it both votes SNP on Thursday.”

    It would be exactly as true and legitimate to banner the video with “Martin Compston says make it ALBA on the list on Thursday.” which he also didn’t say.

    It’s becoming a strange world where things that are simply not true are presented as indisputable facts right next to the physical evidence that they are indisputably false. There was once a time when such delusional interpretation was limited to comedic satire. It might be a bit funny if it weren’t so serious.

    The Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre appoints a male CEO just as we are being told that letting trans women into women’s spaces and rights will not affect women. Aye right! Now this. Anyone with half a brain could have seen this coming, yet we are expected to vote for people with no brain at all, evidently, since they didn’t foresee this – supposedly.

    The truth is that of course they did. Stonewall micromanages every step of the campaign, not the stupid politicians. A white male would never have been appointed CEO of a women-only organization, so they choose an Asian man instead, and Bob’s your Uncle. Two no-go areas in one stroke: transgenderism and ethnicity. Hate Crime remember!

    This is going to end badly for the SNP however big a majority they get. Most of the trans women that women are expected to be nice to, are not trans women: they have neither transitioned nor are they women. They know they are not, but they get a kick out of making women feel uncomfortable and unwanted in their own spaces and rights – parasitical, anti human rights don’t cover it at all.

    Real trans women – that is, body dysphoric males who have either fully-transitioned or who wish to live their lives quietly and with dignity and mutual respect – would never invade women’s spaces, except, perhaps, to pee, and even then, they would never wish to hog the stage.

    It will be the autogynephiles and paraphiliacs of all sorts who will gatecrash women’s spaces and rights with delight, determination and demand – the non-women who know perfectly well that they are non-women but who get their rocks off on seeing themselves as women.

    I have written a letter to The National on the subject of politicians taking responsibility for the decisions they take and make on our behalf. Yes, you Nicola Sturgeon, Christine Jardine, Lorna Slater, et al. You know that the vast majority of the population are opposed to the usurpation of women’s spaces and rights, yet you force this stuff down our throats.

    Okay, put your money where your mouths are, politicians. Guarantee us that no women or children will be harmed, that no women will be sidelined in favour of a trans woman as a woman, that our rights, enshrined in international law, as are those of trans people, are not violated by a minority group, the majority of who are not body dysphoric, not transitioned and not women?

    If any of these thing happen, you, especially you handmaidens, you female politicians, who simper after these conmen, will be met in court by women you have betrayed. If you refuse to sign an undertaking of personal responsibility for your decisions, we will take it that you, yourselves, do not believe this anti biology, anti science nonsense. So, why are you pushing it? To save a bawbee in not having to provide third spaces while you empty the public coffers to fund Stonewall and its arms?

    Take Nicola is OK with changing towels and tampons with men just lingering outside the cubicle then? Sorry to be crass but this is what it boils down to giving people the dignity to toilet as they need to.

    The poor souls at Colinton are losing all toilet facilities just because they can’t be changed to mixed-sexed. That’s logic for you. Even turned down offer of Community buying them.

    “If we can’t have male and females lingering together in toilets, then you can’t have any toilets. Will be replaced with adult nappy dispensers.”

    Again, I’ve seen facilities installed about 3 years ago in Dundee which disprove that as a general rule. Even the one in heavy usage next to the place where taxis wait at Lochee is always spotless because the automatic cleaning seems to actually work. And they are definitely safer for anyone to use than anywhere with a shared space. Higher cost is the trade off.

    So I think this post is a bit hasty until the details are known.

    Two things

    STU YOU ARE PROFOUNDLY WRONG – Edinburgh is not SNP controlled – it has been Labour/SNP and LieDems/SNP. Damaging the SNP would still leave Labour and Lie Dems implementing the same looney policy – but without Independence. This abhorrent policy needs to be fought on a civil rights or human rights platform and with direct action. Not by remaining in thrall to a Greater England .

    Secondly, I (reluctantly) asked Alexa to tune in to BBC Radio Scotland and listened to their pre-election summary.

    The commentator was ostentatiously pro-Tory taking time to explain how Ross was being bullied by all the other parties and how Tory policy on privatising care of the elderly was actually right.

    Went on to say how embarrassing it was to see Salmond make such a poor showing in the election and how he could be expected to come in a bad last to George Galloway and that claims of media bias were all pish. Reminded me of why I campaign for people to stop paying the licence fee.

    SHAME ON YOU STU . – The blackout of Alba and Salmond is the issue you should have tackled in this election – Alex could have done a lot better with a bit more focus from Wings over Scotland

    From my little reading on the dynamics of cults, I have understood that evidence means nothing to their members when laid next to what their leader tells them.

    That is why you cannot argue with them. It is worse than wasting your time because you will just make yourself (or rather let them make you) angry.

    The good news is that most cult members will eventually see the light for themselves and often very unexpectedly. You just have to wait for that moment then watch the various stages of grief play out. In some cases this process ends in the zealotry of the convert.

I’d imagine they could just eventually remove them or have a pit or trench dig and let people have at it.

    Alternatively they could have lots of small single booth types like those portable ones but fixed. All of this is pandering, of course.

    If you’ve ever had the pleasure of running a pub you’d know women make a fine mess of toilets too, though. So I don’t know why the men are being singled out. I know I’ve seen shit smeared up the walls, toilet roll holders covered in filth, piss everywhere, vomit everywhere, etc. Public toilets often end up just as bad or worse as the druggies and weirdos tend to flock around them unless the location really scares them off.
