As a writer, feminist and literary events organiser in Scotland I’m often sent information someone thinks might interest me. This week it was a link to Guidance for Organisations, including Bookshops and Book Festivals. This guidance, commissioned by one of Scotland’s leading and most powerful publicly-funded literary organisations, Literature Alliance Scotland (LAS), is currently available via a link on their website. Written in March 2024, the link has been added to the website ‘Resources’ page on 7
I have been sitting here in Australia, looking over at Scotland with horror for a while. Now, the horror is here. I am awaiting the case of Giggle V Tickle with baited breath.
Hal, you have tried to trivialise a key concern to women who believe in biological reality and its relevance to upholding our rights to be valued human beings.
Bugger off then. Your utter irrelevance to be here is clarified through that moronic statement. If you had something relevant or worthy to say you wouldn't choose to hide behind a troll identity. Gutless and pointless.

I have shared your article on X; I hope that’s ok.
Fabulous, thank you!
An excellent response to that appalling news; as if women shouldn’t be concerned about this turn of events. Thank you for a truly inspiring read.
Appalling turn, superb response.
Did LAS ever answer? I mean, these people owe an answer to Scottish writers. Maybe if there were more writers to sign an open letter.
I understand there is an extraordinary general meeting very soon. Hopefully we will learn more after that. But who knows?

Is this truly an unstoppable juggernaut? 😳
God, you love all this drama, don't you? Both sides do. Sad. Just sad.

Women want fairness.
Oh, get over yourself Hal.
