I wonder how Scottish Power's award-winning LGBTQIA+ employee network In-Fuse feel about their company's name being stamped on the awarding of a hate group assaulting the rights of their community.

It shows clear intent that they believe anti-trans campaigning should be rewarded and celebrated.

We will not stand for this. As such, we will not work with The Herald or Scottish Power. Any requests for their attendance at Stirling Pride events will be refused including participation in marches.

More likely to be "from", as in (thing) the from that our hearts lead us. "Fae" is Scots for "from"

This is what we have to see every day, while struggling for employment, healthcare, housing and being treated like human beings
eople could be banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look The Times has seen the equalities watchdog's final guidance, which Whitehall figures fear Bridget Phillipson is delaying to avoid a political backlash Geraldine Scott, Assistant Political Editor Wednesday November 19 2025, 8.50pm GMT, The Times In April the Supreme Court ruled that access to single-sex spaces was dictated by sex, not gender identity - but long-awaited guidance for organisations and businesses has still not been published Transgender people could be banned from single-sex spaces based on what they look like, according to new equalities guidance seen by The Times. The guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) was handed to ministers almost three months ago but has so far not been published by Bridget Phillipson, the minister for women and equalities. The Times has been passed a copy of the final guidance, which aims to preserve the dignity and safety of women, by Whitehall figures who are concerned that Labour is deliberately delaying publication to avoid a potential political backlash. Under the new guidance, places such as hospital wards, gyms and leisure centres will be able to question transgender women over whether they should be using single-sex services based on how they look, their behaviour or concerns raised by others. If there is doubt they are telling the truth about their sex, they could be banned from using those services once those running them had considered "relevant factors".
