Text

I welcome the strategy, which aims to protect women and girls from violence. Today's society poses many real threats to women and young girls, including from biological males who masquerade as females. Does the First Minister share my concerns, those of many women in our community and the common-sense view that biological men should not be able to compete in female sport and that female safe spaces, particularly female changing rooms, should never be accessible to biological males — no ifs and no buts?
