Disgusting that this is allowed to happen. Am I surprised they haven't started the review... unfortunately not. There should be an independent investigation into this whole affair. When I say independent I don't mean chosen to convey a pre written narrative.

MAS uses anti-trans trope language in the article to explain away the guidance.Yet I've never felt more terrified living the everyday life I've been living for near 30 years now.Strange that considering the EHRC guidance apparently doesn't affect trans people's rights.Fear is the aim, not equality.

So the article stops short of explaining exactly what the code says, but allows MAS to be quoted using language which anti trans activists are using. EHRC doing it's job for equality as usual...not

If the media were doing their job as they should and reporting on this it would force the government to change direction through embarrassment. More than disgusting that families and individuals are being put through this degrading inhumane treatment. So tired of this country and it's politics.

Me hoping they are waiting until the 'heat' dies down before they reverse things to how they were. Trouble is that 'heat' won't diminish because specific groups and the media want it to go further. The longer they leave it the harder it will be, as the further down the rabbit hole they descend.

What does a GRC actually mean after For Women Scotland? A trans person can now be legally recognised as one sex for some purposes, while treated as another under the Equality Act. Has the law created an “intermediate zone” of legal recognition? #TransRights #EqualityAct

So several legal barristers advising Trans in the city are wrong? Or is it that certain groups are not happy the EHRC guidance doesn't go far enough and they will keep testing the boundaries?

Really quite worried what the reduction of Scottish health boards looks like this afternoon when it's announced along with possible cuts to services. Whether that means local GICs and their patients getting care or on waiting lists will all be transferred to central belt.

Absolutely. It isn't necessarily that there are terfs everywhere. Probably a small number per capita but it's the embarrassment and ridicule they pile on their victims that is the problem & let's face it most trans people most likely just want to go about their business quietly like most people do.

Really concerned how the reduction of health boards in Scotland being conveyed this afternoon by SG is going to affect local GICs and the people already being treated by them. The Sandyford already has decades long waiting lists but others are functioning alot better.

TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFINED TO THE SHADOWS I’ve heard from people who are now scared to go out in public, or are avoiding drinking water because they’re worried about using a toilet. Whatever the legal debate around the EHRC guidance, we can’t ignore its human impact. #TransRights #EHRC

I'm so proud of you.

I can hardly imagine the journey you've taken to discover who you are and tell the people you love.
But I suppose it's been a difficult path, and you've came so far.

Please never forget that you are worthy and that you deserve to be loved. You are beautiful in so many ways. 

Sincerely, TinaYou are loved by meJust to say - my family and I love you, we see you, we accept you and we stand with you.

 Stay strong and know that you have allies who truly care x x x I have so much respect for you and really appreciate the difficulties that many are experiencing because of ignorance and an unwillingness to learn about the realities for trans people. 

Sending you my support and every hope that things change for the better.

Anyone who reads the document released by the university, laying out exactly why he was suspended - including historical evidence while affiliated to that university - and still backs him should take a deep critical look inside themselves.
