Well, it appears that #ScottishLabour have gone full transphobe.
To think that in the last parliament they were solidly behind #GenderRecognitionReform. Whichever way you slice it, they are succeeding only in giving categorical proof of being both unprincipled and bigoted.

Not a great week so far for trans people in the UK
On Monday, shadow minister for women and equalities Anneliese Dodds MP used an opinion column in the Guardian to announce Labour’s new stance on gender recognition reform, hugely weakened from the kind of reform they supported in Scotland last year: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/24/labour-will-lead-on-reform-of-transgender-rights-and-we-wont-take-lectures-from-the-divisive-tories
Indeed, Dodds had the gall to say that the Scottish Government’s reform bill – which was supported by most Labour MSPs and would have become law had Westminster not blocked it – was ‘cavalier’ and ‘more about picking a fight with Westminster than bringing about meaningful change’! Seriously?!
On Tuesday, ‘gender-critical’ ‘feminist’ Rosie Duffield MP unsurprisingly lent support to the new proposals, which she says are ‘going in the right direction’ for ‘biological women’: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2023/jul/25/michael-gove-petrol-cars-mps-rishi-sunak-climate-policy-uk-politics-live-latest-updates?page=with:block-64bf95328f081d44d14a89f7#block-64bf95328f081d44d14a89f7
And today (Wednesday), leader of the opposition Keir Starmer MP said:
‘Firstly, a woman is an adult female, so let’s clear that one up …
[You mean, adult female *human being*, or are female butterflies also women?]
‘We don’t think that self-identification is the right way forward. We’ve reflected on what happened in Scotland …
[Rather, what happened *to* Scotland, when the UK government blocked competent legislation without warning]
‘We’ve set out that we want to modernise the process, get rid of some of the indignities in the process, keep it a medical process.
[*Some* of the indignities. Nice /s]
‘We’ve always said, I’ve continued to say, and Sunday, when we completed our policy forum, allowed us to be clear that there should be safe places, safe spaces, for women, particularly in relation to violence against women and girls.’
[So what?]
Starmer lacks the positive values and qualities of his predecessor
On trans rights as on so many other issues, he’d rather tread lightly for fear of actually being seen to *oppose* the Tory government’s horrific agenda
