any political leader could, if they wanted, refuse to comment on an on-going employment tribunal, but Anas Sarwar has decided that an opportunity to bully a trans person in The Sun is simply too good to pass up

Sarwar is trying to get the sympathy vote for himself as he has plummeted in the polls. He doesn’t care about anyone else and will use everything and everyone to get what he wants. We all know that is ermine and he will walk over anyone to get there. An embarrassment to Scotland.

a quick time line of events:

-nurse harasses trans woman
-trans woman complains
-nurse is eventually disciplined
-nurse takes health board and trans doctor to tribunal.

The SNP does not factor into this! the health board are not the government!

It's also just accepting an entirely false premise - Ms Trump adorer isn't being disciplined for her views on changing room, but for calling a coworker a rapist based on their Protected Characteristic, and endangering patient safety by refusing to work with them.

The fact the trigger incident was in a changing room is basically irrelevant here.

There where enough other incidents like the one she is awaiting a disciplinary over where she walked out of a resuscitation because transphobia

We've still got so many months of this before the tribunal is over. 😬

Waiting for a similar headline in 3 years time; "No white person should share a changing room with a black person", or "No 'normal' person should have to share a changing room with a gay".

He's unleashing the bigoted floodgates and will pay the price.

It's the old "I'm not a racist, but" adage.

unicornsrockuk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Indeed. I'm guessing he can't be transphobic because he spoke to a trans person once, or some similar shit.

I had a "discussion" with a contractor on my job who was a Facebook conspiracy theorist and "Trump's a good lad, f'nar, f'nar" supporter. He actually said "Ah canna'e be a racist, I listen to rap music" - Yes, folks.

Education counts for nothing if you don't have one.
