The wheels are slowly starting to come off the gender clown car in Scotland in the aftermath of some jaw-dropping testimony at an industrial tribunal in Dundee. A nurse is claiming harassment against a doctor and NHS Fife. The doctor is a man who LARPs as a woman (Dr “Beth” Upton). The nurse, Sandie Peggie, was suspended after telling him he should not be using the women’s changing room. At the tribunal the doctor claimed that he is a ‘biological female’ and that the concept of biological sex is a ‘nebulous dog-whistle’ for which there is no real definition.
It has only had a little national news coverage but it has been covered fully enough in the media in Scotland to open a few eyes. Yesterday Scottish Labour disavowed the Gender Recognition Reform Act (which would have introduced Gender self-ID, had the UK Supreme Court not struck it down for interfering with the UK Human Rights Act), claiming they would not have voted for it had they known then what they know now. What they claim to know now, but did not know then, was what campaigners were yelling at them all along. If you tell people they can identify into a category, the injustice suffered by Sandie Peggie and many others is inevitably what follows.
Further, MSPs have been trying this week to get the SNP government to make some sort of statement on all this, but the parliament’s presiding officer - an SNP politician - has been blocking them, over and over again.
Sadly what has been happening in Scotland is the SNP/Green obsession with genderism, led by Nicola Sturgeon and, frankly, aided and abetted by Scottish Labour and the Scottish Lib Dems, has become de-facto public sector policy in Scotland despite the legislation that was to underpin it being struck down. I bet Nurse Peggie isn’t the only woman being institutionally harassed for refusing to pretend a man is a woman just because he says he is.
