What does an SNP MSP have to say to those concerned about the Gender Recognition Reform (self-id of sex) Bill?

Oh and the Tories used to be great supporters of self ID until Johnson decided it was a vote winner to pretend to be interested in womens boundaries, they care not one jot about women or transpeople.

Exactly.

Not interested in doing what's right, only what's popular.

Five minutes ago the outliers on prisons, puberty blockers, mermaids, tavistock etc were a few feminists, now its mainstream thinking, sometimes the outliers are right.

Sorry - Oreo, not "Oreo".

Galaxy was just using that as an example.
Politics isn’t like supporting a football team? It is for some!
The SNP can do no wrong y’know.😂

I know how examples work "Oreo". I extended the analogy.

It’s a slippery slope and all women should be concerned.

Also if the Tories were saying the earth is round I would be agreeing with them. Politics isnt like supporting a football team.

But then the other parties would be saying it's round too. The Tories wouldn't be outliers.

But it not everybody else it's just those MSPs too foolish to look at how the majority of the country is thinking of the subject.

Evidence for it being the majority of the country?

Maybe, paddyann54, but what I can't understand is why most of them as well as the Labour and Lib Dem MSPs are determined to carry on with this legislation ins spite of a lot of disquiet (to say the least) among the general public. It's come to something when the only people many of us can agree with on this subject are the Tories.

If you agree with the Scottish Tories and everybody else thinks differently, that's telling you something.

There are numerous threads on GN which don't interest me.
I don't bother going onto them to say they are boring, tho. Why would someone do that?

We all have different opinions on what is boring thankfully.

I think you will find this is going to be another long and boring thread.

I think you'll find paddyann that SNP will 'whip' its MSPs to vote for the GRR Bill.
You may recall that Ash Regan MSP had to resign her ministerial post because she was voting against it at its previous stage.

Do you paddyann have any views about how uninformed Fulton McGregor seems to be, on this important topic?
Do you have reason to believe that other MSPs are better informed ?

I think you'll find that as in all aspects of life SNP .MP's and MSP's have their own individual views .The SNP like all parties is not one homogenous mass
