Sorry, wimz, sucks to be you

So, they’ve done it.

The Scottish Parliament has passed legislation which aims to make it easier for transgender people to change their legally recognised gender.

At the expense of women.

Campaign groups have warned that the reforms – which seek to make the process for people to obtain a gender recognition certificate easier – could risk the safety of women and girls.

Will. Not could, but will.

However, supporters of the changes insist that it is about simplifying the process and removing hurdles within the current requirements.

That’s not a however, it’s just an and. Of course it’s about simplifying the process and removing hurdles, which is what makes it a risk to the safety of women and girls.

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman hailed the result as a “historic day for equality”.

It’s got nothing to do with equality. Allowing men to pretend to be women and thus invade women’s spaces and steal women’s opportunities has nothing to do with equality.

“The last three days of debate have shown the best and worst of our Parliament. But today isn’t about party politics. It is about the future and the progressive and inclusive society that we want to build.”

Burble burble burble. What even are words? Progressive how? Inclusive of what? Buzzwords butter no parsnips.
