@motogpgirly Hiya. Did you read the rest of the thread? The entire point is that the term “menstruator” doesn’t replace the term “woman”. It means something different. It means someone who menstruates and is only used in that context. Whereas woman means woman. — PolitiTweet.org

@elipticaltrnr @NicolaSturgeon JK Rowling’s comments are wrong, discriminatory and exclusionary. Nevertheless she should not be facing abusive comments like these. And neither should I. — PolitiTweet.org

@lornasharp2 Lorna I have never suggested I have any other stance on this. I’ve tweeted about this before. I’ve always been honest about how I feel. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been following @JayHulmePoet on twitter for a while. Today i got a copy of Clouds Cannot Cover Us. That introduction 💔 Thank you, Jay. https://t.co/yW01MMfKQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

@Michex69 Which one was gay? Which one was black? Which one was Muslim? I’m completely comfortable with the intersectionality of my feminism. Supporting trans rights does not take anything away from the hard won rights of women, nor does it stop me continuing to fight for gender equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@Michex69 “anyone can be what they want” isn’t right. The consultation includes a requirement live in that gender for 3 months beforehand, to make a statutory declaration that you intend to live permanently in that gender. And it is a criminal offence to make a false declaration. https://t.co/iAmibbcDKH — PolitiTweet.org

It also refused many asylum claims from young people from Afghanistan between 2006 & 2014, which meant they would have to take steps to reapply on turning 18 (no guarantee they would get this), or voluntarily return to their country (a war zone). https://t.co/WDaqSUL5ry — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Agree entirely with this. Also refugee kids in care. Did you know that the UK Government refused asylum to looked after children who were STATELESS when they reached adulthood. — PolitiTweet.org

@RisuToInu @ProfSunnySingh Absolutely. I’ve just ordered a wee pile of new books by black and trans authors. I need to learn more about different experiences and I need to diversify my bookshelves. — PolitiTweet.org

@twit_grim My son and I both have brown hair. That’s a biological similarity. We also both have hay fever. We share lots of biological similarities. I share biological similarities with lots of people, some of them have vaginas and some of them don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

@dwlen_ Thanks Dylan. I’ve always been a trans ally 😉 the amazing scarves are only in the last 5 years or so though. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlixWzl Thank you Dr Alix 😊 — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@Le4womensrights Nope. Just like my experience isn’t the same as yours. Because we’re different humans. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@RisuToInu @ProfSunnySingh I talked to mine about it too. I’m so devastated that she keeps doing this. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Woman. I would use woman. For the avoidance of doubt, trans women are also adult human females. — PolitiTweet.org

@amoozeboosh @theSNP I’m not campaigning for men to be called spunkers. Nor am I campaigning for women to be called menstruators. Menstruators are people who menstruate. Women are women. I don’t want to be called a menstruator because I don’t menstruate. I do want to be called a woman because I am. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@damilne1 And finally, not all men ejaculate. If we are specifically talking about issues relating to ejaculation then those who ejaculate or ejaculators wound be a term that makes sense. It’s not offensive. It’s descriptive. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@damilne1 Saying that two different people can both menstruate is not saying that they both have the same lived experience. My son and I both have brown hair it doesn’t mean we’re the same person or we have the same experiences. — PolitiTweet.org
