Nicola Sturgeon has remained resolutely silent about the landmark legal ruling that trans women are not women – but found time to post a workout selfie.She shared an image from the gym with a caption: ‘Easter Monday workouts.’The post was shared with the track Push It, by rock band Garbage featuring Scots singer Shirley Manson.Following the Supreme Court judgment on Wednesday the band shared a post of a pop-art style person wearing a jacket which said ‘Queer Trans Resistance’ and previously supported ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’.Ms Sturgeon had a pivotal role in the Scottish Government’s court room defeat during which judges unanimously ruled that biological choice and not preference is decisive in defining a woman.But despite her centre stage in the legal battle, five days into the ruling the former First Minister had failed to address it at all. Nicola Sturgeon posted a selfie as she took to the gym on Easter MondayMSP Tess White, equalities spokeswoman at the Scottish Conservatives, said: ‘Nicola Sturgeon’s silence is deafening.‘The women and girls she betrayed deserve to hear from her, but instead they see her more interested in peddling a book launch and posing in the gym.‘They will find it shameless how she is trying to dodge responsibility for a policy that put women’s safety at risk.‘The former SNP leader should stop obsessing over her social media presence and apologise for the damage her divisive gender self-ID policy continues to cause.’Last week the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against the SNP government in a challenge brought by the feminist group For Women Scotland.The case dates back to a 2018 Holyrood law passed under Ms Sturgeon, one which allowed transgender people as part of quotas under a law designed to ensure gender balance on public sector boards.The SNP has been approached for comment.
