Was looking forward to being on @BBCScotland GMS just now to discuss the impact of the Hate Crime bill not including women. Sadly cancelled because no one available to debate with me. Exercising a veto by refusing to engage may be a ‘clever’ tactic but should not be rewarded.

Just read this. And understand that women - without fame or fortune - agree. Salute her courage, listen to her argument. But, as importantly, listen to all those women who are speaking up and speaking out for women’s rights. https://t.co/rsnPspgUra

Plenty of battles for women’s rights over the years but don’t think I was ever in need of the police to leave a meeting safely. Surely folk who believe in women’s rights can see this for the scary place we are now in? @LabWomenDec https://t.co/GhauxFYIWw

#Newsnight There is not an ‘assumption’ that trans people are a threat. Far from it. What too many women know is the reality of predatory men and male violence. Understanding that reality has been a fight hard won. Women only spaces and women only services exist for a reason.
