A LEADING feminist has blasted Nicola Sturgeon’s handling of the gender identity debate.
In an explosive attack, author Julie Bindel said Ms Sturgeon was a “disgrace” and that she hoped the fallout from recent events would lead to the end of her political career.
Appearing on GB News she told Camilla Tominey Today: “I think it’s an absolute obscenity that we put the so-called rights of men who just identify as women.
“I think Nicola Sturgeon is a disgrace. I think this is all about political expediency. She is looking at getting plaudits. She wants to be seen as a kind, inclusive person. She wants to be praised by all of those that don’t give a damn about women’s rights because of course, it’s really deeply unfashionable to be a feminist and say, men do commit acts of violence and that this is wrong.
“It is a deeply unattractive and unpopular thing to say to people. It gets their hackles rising, and I’ve known this for over 40 years.
Outlining why she believes Ms Sturgeon had let women down she continued: “Nicola Sturgeon is anything but a feminist. She’s a betrayer of women. She’s a disgrace, And I do hope that this ends her political career, and that it serves as a warning to all the others who engage in posturing that come after her.”
Commenting on the wider debate of prions and the rights the trans community should have to choose where they serve their sentence, she added: “I actually would say that there is no space no place at all for any man, whether they’re convicted sex offenders or not in women’s prisons and women only spaces And the idea that gender identity somehow trump’s sex is nonsense.”
