John Swinney squirms & deflects as he repeatedly pushed by journalists over trans women question

Scotland’s First Minister has repeatedly refused to say whether he believes transgender women are women, when quizzed during a press conference in Glasgow. Speaking after a cross-party summit aimed at tackling the far-right, John Swinney said the definition of a woman had been “settled” by the UK Supreme Court. Last week, campaign group For Women Scotland won its case against the Scottish Government over the definition. The country’s top judges ruled the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 “refer to a biological woman and biological sex”. During Wednesday’s press conference, the cross-party panel was asked whether they believe a transgender woman is a woman, in light of the ruling. The First Minister suggested he did not have time to answer the question, saying: “I don’t think we’ve got space for us all to answer. There will be plenty of opportunities for that.” MORE SCOTTISH POLITICS: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news... http://www.theScottishsun.co.uk   / thescottishsun     / scottishsun   #politics #snp #news #scotland #johnSwinney
