Another battle is brewing. Scot Gov redefined the term "woman" in legislation that considered representation on public boards. The consequences of which are female representation is no longer guaranteed because you now only need to identify as a women (no GRC, no evidence) 1/ https://twitter.com/mbmpolicy/status/1337372353446240264

not be a woman to claim equal representation. Sound fair? @ForwomenScot have been given permission for a judicial review into legality of redefining woman away from that in the Equality Act, ie female. Court case 7-8th Jan, all donations v welcome to pay for legal fees please! 2/

But in the last month Scot Gov funded org, Equality Network, have angled to be able to intervene in the case (on the Gov's side, naturally) with their pro-bono lawyers. Today they win that right to take on Scottish women 3/ https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-scottish-government-redefining-woman/

The consequence of which is that legal fees for little old @ForwomenScot (no gov funding, only personal donations) will increase. So, who is up for another #SexNotGender battle in 2021? And please do help donate to the case if you can. 4/
