Selling yourself for sex is not a job

The sex industry is about control and people having what they want, regardless of the needs and wants of others. Supporting people into entering the “oldest profession” is simply enabling harm against them. Those being harmed are predominantly women.

Lesbians have the right to say no

Whoever you are as a lesbian, you have the right to be yourself, to claim your place as a woman who rejects male bodies and male attention, to assert your boundaries as a same-sex attracted women.

Erasing word ‘mother’ is morally wrong

It is a privilege to be a mother, and celebrating that does not diminish anyone else's experience. The Scottish Government has no right to belittle one of humanity's most important roles.

How could I be afraid to stand in front of my own Parliament?

I left absolutely buzzing and so glad I had made the effort to come. Standing with all those women who won’t wheesht was a fantastic experience.

Women’s feelings matter, too

I was at the demonstration outside the Scottish Parliament because I am deeply worried about the erosion of women's rights. It really is that simple.

Sex matters. And it matters most to female victims of sexual assault

Mridhul Wadhwa’s words reveal nothing but contempt for female needs. Any frontline worker denigrating the trauma of females accessing their service should be sacked. That stands for the CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis.

Why I won’t be watching the Tokyo Olympics

Women always have to budge up and accept the scraps from the table of sporting federations. Tokyo 2021 should be the last time inclusion is put before equality.

Find your courage and speak up

Speaking up that day taught me two things: little acts of bravery can make you braver, and also it’s not really that brave to express these views on sex and gender because most people share them.

Age gap in the gender trap

Dylan's lyrics suggest the more we experience in life, the less we understand. And youth in all its certitude will eventually cede to a more mature, less dogmatic perspective. I agree. But then, I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
