On 7 May, the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) stepped up to replace Humza Yousaf as First Minister. In a recent interview with BBC Radio Scotland, Swinney rightly stood for trans rights in Scotland after being asked, “What is a woman?” He answered the question by saying: “I believe a woman is an adult female born as a woman and I also accept that transgender women are defined as women.” Anti-trans feminist groups responded to Swinney’s comments on trans rights, with the Scottish Feminist Network writing on X (formerly Twitter): “All that fuss and nothing ever really changes. The new First Minister believes there are 2 routes to womanhood (just like the last 2 FMs): biological and fantasy. We know what happened to the last 2 FMs, so brace yourself, John.”
