@Simonablake The final vote will be today now and as someone living in Scotland I am hoping it passes, to support those wanting to transition to do so earlier, easier and with more dignity. Sorry you’ve had so much hate on this post Simon. #GWithTheT

@JoFundraising Fingers crossed for the right outcome. Hope you have some downtime over the next couple of weeks 😊

@Simonablake LGB people wasn't asking for male sex offenders to be given full access to womens and girls toilets, changing rooms and other personal spaces. It's a disgusting creepy bill that should be binned! As a gay man I say #GWithoutTheT #LGBWithoutTheT #TransWomenAreMen

@Simonablake It's a disgrace ... pandering endlessly to minorities and ignoring the concerns of the majority . Women deserve so much better

@Simonablake Absolutely not ! There’s no comparison..

@Simonablake No.

@Simonablake Tone deaf. How anyone can have sat through yesterday’s moving statements and then write such a tweet is hard to credit. All those who think this indifference to the rights of women, girls & LGB people is “progressive” live in a bubble far removed from caring society.

@Simonablake Except the the LGB part of your gender alphabet want nothing to do with the GRR bill.

@Simonablake It's a disaster. History will not look on it at all well

@Simonablake Disgraceful behaviour today from Hollyrood putting women's safety in danger. Good for the women who shouted #ShameOnYou #LGB

@Simonablake Do you think that the reaction to male predators gaining simple access to women's spaces is going to have a negative impact on trans people? I do.

@Simonablake LGB people gaining rights did not affect the rights of straight people. Trans people have the same rights as everybody else. What they want are *extra special rights*. TIMs aka biological males want access to women's spaces/categories/awards/prisons. How is that fair?

@Simonablake History will not look kindly upon you.

@Simonablake Lead? Why are men rejecting nonconformity in their own sex and spaces? This is nothing like human rights campaigns before. None of them demanded eroding the rights of half the population. Men aren't oppressed by sex-based boundaries.

@Simonablake The Scottish people don't support the bill.

@Simonablake “Those who are against the legislation are saying the same things that have been said about other legislation to support LGBT+ folk through the years” That lazy canard doesn’t work anymore Simon. #GayMenAreMale

@Simonablake Oh, it's just "folk" 🤪 These particular "folks" are demanding the right to redefine what women and girls are and are demanding access to their single-sex rights. Remind me when "folk" did this before?

@Simonablake Emphatically not. No laws in the past made women and girls unsafe. No law allowed rapists to self-identify into female jails. Our rights as homosexuals are threatened by this law which prioritises gender over sex.

@Simonablake You clearly don't understand the legislation, which essentially allows biological males to simply declare themselves women and legally access women's spaces. It's a policy ripe for abuse by predatory males.

@Simonablake Every single safeguarding amendment, that would also protect trans people, has been shot down. The bill is a disaster & not fit for purpose. It's nothing at all like other legislation to LGB individuals.
