Here is a statement from me as Equalities, Human Rights & Justice spokesperson of Scottish Greens on the recent abuse aimed at rape crisis organisations and their workers. @rapecrisisscot Edinburgh RapeCrisis Full text in thread below

As a father of a son with cerebral palsy, the hate Rosie Jones is getting from ignorant people on here disgusts me. She is amazingly funny and intelligent and would have had to work damn hard to get to this position in her life. Hopefully she wins the whole thing 🙌🏻 #Taskmaster

All the responses from transphobes are saying the same things & I don't just mean towards Izzard. They're all saying the same about Rosie Jones. Transphobes are always ableists. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

So much of this site and Facebook is now carefully crafted anger-baiting. There is no list of the top British female comedians topped by Rosie Jones and with Eddie Izzard in third, but someone posts a screengrab from a since-deleted Facebook post and everyone piles in. Mindless.

Wadhwa has dedicated the last 14 years of her professional life to supporting women who are victims of sexual violence and has now been forced out of public life. medium.com/@missfredawall…

Mridul Wadhwa did nothing wrong. What I read this as, is a trans woman being forced to stand down as CEO because she refused to implement transphobic policies, like the dog whistle "single sex spaces" and for protecting trans survivors from transphobia. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Mridul Wadhwa may well have been a terrible CEO, (terrible CEOs are hardly a rarity,) but she, Edinburgh RCC & now Rape Crisis Scotland, have been targeted for years & for one reason only- she is trans. She could have been a living saint, she'd still have been torn down.

Disgusted to see the hate aimed a charity CEO Mridul Wadhwa today following her resignation from Edinburgh RapeCrisis. The whole of the sector should be concerned that CEO's can be hounded out of their roles by bigots, and trustees 'blamed' for hiring a trans woman #CharitySoStraight

When Wes Streeting MP talks of ‘the highest quality of care’ I recall Alice’s inquest, which ruled delayed access to care and lack of knowledge contributed to a preventable death. As he talks of dignity & respect I think of staff who deadnamed & misgendered and called me difficult.

I was embarrassed as a former prosecutor that the CPS brought this charge in the first place. It seems political imperative took precedence over legal analysis. A great verdict! Teacher cleared by court for coconut placard at rally - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Mridul Wadhwa being forced to resign is disgusting. Forcing a woman to resign because she is a woman is frankly deplorable.

Can't help but feel some American centrist media outlet is going to publish an exposé in two months time detailing the depravity of the bullying campaign against Mridul Wadhwa and the cowardice of the ERCC board in response. Once again putting the UK media to shame.

In contrast to your hate, I post Mridul Wadhea’s words about the beautiful, complex experience of being trans & how it cannot / must not be reduced to “something physical and external” - a story you are trying so hard to tell about us but which you know is untrue

Wes Streeting is a guilt ridden evangelical Christian who has brought trans conversion therapy into the NHS to “save souls.” The happy clappy brigade should be nowhere near trans healthcare - same applies to this bunch. We don’t want gay missionaries meeting Wes - butt out. He

Did you read all the achievements & social contributions of Mridul Wadwha on the company’s page? Seems she is a better citizen than many In a Bindel world is she to be destitute & on the streets ? & now the women at ERCC are monsters? Try the mirror - you are now the monster!

The influence of evangelicals and other assorted religious screw-ups seeking a pat on the head from their sick interpretation of ‘god’ has been used and allowed to wreck the lives of LGBTQ people in this country.

Daily reminder Secret-society of bigots 👇within the police known as Police SEEN UK - meet in car parks like pervs swapping dodgy videos, seek to radicalise other officers & staff to isolate LGBTQ officers We seek Secret Shoppers to join/expose We, are the good guys. Join us

This is an anti-trans hate-group bullying their way into the Liberal Democrats Conference. They seek to dehumanise trans people, intimidate trans delegates and their families which is vile and unforgivable. They are dehumanising scum. They place their hatred and vanity before the party
