@DoogidGolf @notoriousbigip @joannaccherry Explain how it does. Trans people can already change their documents. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @joannaccherry I’ve stood on repeated manifestos. I have been clear for years that I support GRA reform and I support self ID. I have been voted in supporting those principles. Just like I’ve been voted in supporting independence. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @joannaccherry And yet not one person has been able to tell me what impact GRA reform will have on women who are not trans. I’ve asked. Repeatedly. I’m not beholden to listen to all viewpoints equally. I do not intend to listen to calls to bring back the death penalty, or to buy more nukes. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @joannaccherry I’ve been condemning online abuse for years, but I’m aware that doesn’t suit your narrative. — PolitiTweet.org
Tom French @tomfrench85
.@KirstySNP: the online abuse received by women is particularly bad - especially if you discuss feminism and women’… https://t.co/NN3f7kGJyv

@notoriousbigip @joannaccherry Which you should be aware of, given you replied to my tweet. — PolitiTweet.org
Notorious 🍒🍒 @notoriousbigip
@KirstySNP @HannahB4LiviMP Horrified and responsible due to your own conduct right?
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @joannaccherry I did condemn them. Explicitly. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Horrified to hear that one of my colleagues received a threat last night. This is totally unacceptable and I condem… https://t.co/V1uBhwNNCK

Contrary to some of the bile spouted on social media, the SNP continues to be a lovely family to be part of, and I’m especially appreciative of anyone who’s campaigned in this bizarre covid-overshadowed election, no matter when you joined. #BothVotesSNP — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Kind of hilarious to be accused of being an inabootcomer to a party I joined two decades ago. Being a newer member is no bad thing. I know folk who’ve been in the party a few years (or a few weeks!) who have campaigned in every spare moment since they joined. — PolitiTweet.org

You can see an update to my thoughts on this here: — PolitiTweet.org

A few people have contacted me with worries about the GRA section in the SNP manifesto. I read it to mean that a re… https://t.co/5HHrO6bdut

@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 There are hardly any trans medical practitioners. Trans people are one of the most abused and maligned groups in society. And you don’t want legislation that will make their lives slightly easier because it will... err.. have no effect on your life whatsoever? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 What is a male woman? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 But that makes no difference to the provision of services. Now: people cannot ask for a practitioner on the basis of their birth certificate data. In the future: people cannot ask for a practitioner on the basis of their birth certificate data. There is no impact. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 Sorry, do you mean that currently other organisations do record the birth certificate sex of workers? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 What would actually solve this situation for you? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 You can’t currently get the treatment you want. You can’t after GRA reform get the treatment you want. There is no difference. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 I’m not denying that your trust may not keep a record of which members of staff are trans. I would expect them not to. But GRA reform does not change this in any way. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 You have explained that you cannot currently discriminate on the basis you want to discriminate. But you have not explained how GRA reform will change this situation in any way. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 What do you mean by male women and female women? I don’t understand your definition. But whatever it is, you can reject a practitioner for intimate treatments or examinations on any basis. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 If that woman is a woman then it doesn’t matter if she is cis or trans, she’s a woman. GRA reform does not change that one iota. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 And what difference would GRA reform make to that situation? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 ... sectioning regulations. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 Dramatically and this is already having a positive impact on the level of choice that people have. I don’t understand why your NHS could or does force you to be treated by a health professional you don’t want to be treated by. That simply shouldn’t happen outwith mental health.. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 What difference would GRA reform make to your NHS Trust’s recording of its staff? The forensic medical treatments bill documentation made clear that women can already reject treatment from any practitioner for any reason. We have increased the number of women practitioners — PolitiTweet.org

@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 *responses — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 And yes, I have read the relevant primary and secondary legislation, the explanatory notes, the consultation documents and response. I’ve also read a lot of irrelevant legislation. I have not based my views on dubious blogs or twitter threads. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 There is no impact. Literally none. If you have been told otherwise you have been lied to. It is not my job to attempt to find proof for the lies you’ve been told. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel @GrandAdmiral4 What effect will GRA reform have on women who are not trans? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@ScottishJenbel There have been consultations. They have agreed overwhelmingly that change is needed. Public opinion polls also show change is needed. Perhaps you only wish us to listen to women who agree with you? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@GrandAdmiral4 Why? — PolitiTweet.org
