‘Decapitate Terfs’ signs at pro-trans rally attended by SNP politicians

The Equality Network, a leading pro-trans organization that backs the SNP gender reforms, said on Sunday that personal abuse and threats of violence were “not acceptable”.

However, it faced a backlash after adding that this was applied to “any side of any debate”, with women claiming to fail to acknowledge that violent threats were far more common among its supporters.

At another pro-trans rally in Dundee at the weekend, an SNP councilor, Lynne Short, drew comparisons between the current debate over trans rights and the Holocaust.
