My response to the decision of Glasgow Pride to suspend participation by political parties.

In short, the culture war against our community has gone on far too long, and needs to end.

I share the concern that this decision is "rushed, will be unworkable, and will exclude trans people". I know how disturbing this announcement has been for many people working at Parliament.

I will be raising these concerns in solidarity with @scottishtrans.bsky.social and everyone affected.

It’s an absolute disgrace that our national parliament now has the same policy as the US controlled congress. I support this letter.

We have written to the SPCB about their decision to ban trans women from women's toilets, and trans men from men's toilets in the Scottish Parliament.

This decision will exclude and segregate trans people at the heart of Scotland’s democracy.

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.
