Folded. The party claiming human rights are amongst their core principles giving way on those basic values is disgraceful.Grow a spine, it’s your party, your rules. As for demographic quotas, instead of the pick n’mix goals try seeing people for their worth rather than what box they tick.
We are disappointed that, due to legal pressure from transphobic campaign groups following the For Woman Scotland decision, two eminently reasonable quotas in our party's election regulations have been suspended. These suspensions are profoundly anti-queer, anti-trans and anti-feminist...

I had some tablet as my race food for the Braveheart ride. Proper job it was 😋 Sadly the sugar rush was a brief highlight in an otherwise age appropriate performance.

For Trump’s MAGA Olympics what you will need to express your thoughts and values is an appropriate person on the merchandise. Sporty, tall, preferably blonde and female. Cycling has had its woke moment in Rwanda now the time has come to go back to business.

Before driving home from the Braveheart bike ride & dinner I was bribed by STV with authentic Scottish Empire biscuits. Guaranteed to contain 110% sugar. What’s that saying ? You can take the Glaswegian out of Glasgow but 🤔😂

This used to be on my walk home from school. Through the tunnels , turn left and it was 200m to the chip shop on the corner where the bus fare I didn't use would probably be spent. Shawlands was almost posh. 🙃

When I began transition at the start of the 2000s the NHS wait was 2 yrs for 1st appointment. Already they tried to limit private care options. Many med professionals have been forced to retire/ stop care by NHS gender bosses. The current GIC system is broken & private care effectively outlawed
Amazing piece by @echomikeromeo.bsky.social:
"if we want to tell stories about the past that not only make historiographical contributions but also help people get healthcare [etc] we must start by ensuring that we are in community ourselves and are responsive to community pressures and needs".

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic.

Good and I apologise for not fully reading the whole thread. A ban or exclusion without any evidence is direct discrimination. Sports bans have been the easiest sell to the ‘what if’ crowd . They cling to victimcould
No, I don’t agree with a ban.

You agree with a trans competitive ban ?? Ok tell us on what in competition results that is based. The 100 metres sprint ? 100 m swimming ? Cycling road races at international level ?
Any sport will do b/c we’re interested to know who these trans competitors are and how dominant their results are.

For competitive sport, I agree, but recreational? I think it is more challenging. Even the utterly transphobic draft code was circumspect around sports.

she can begin with the Tour de 4 org as I took part in their recreational event. Let her show how my participation in fundraising for cancer care discriminated against the other women there . Also not d the words of her statement saying the mere presence of a trans woman makes her a victim 😱
Obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobic ex-sportswoman with a massive chip on her shoulder threatens to sue RECREATIONAL sports bodies, because she’s that vindictive and malicious! 😖

Ooh tablet 😋 guaranteed 110% sugar , that’s serious stuff . None of that poncy Kendal mint cake pretending to be sporty.
Marvellous stuff. A wee drop of that and tablet beat energy gels any day of the week.

Most defendants turn up to court and try to look respectful for the occasion. Of course if you are a 'comedian' then choosing to look like a clown is perfect.
He turned up to court wearing this. I'm imagining he was also wearing this on the plane. Just a total embarrassment.

It’s all about the right tools for the job. 3 speed hub gears, coaster rear brake. I’ve left the mudguards (not that I ride in the rain 😬 ) but the rack and kick stand are removed. The ex-racer ego said they had to go.
