Scotland confirmed to have it's first trans MSP (Scottish MP) I hear.

@Natasha_Jay sadly not - she was pipped by the SNP

@SarahAS2 @Natasha_Jay in the Glasgow region, eight constituencies, all the constituency results are in and 7/8 of the regional results are in - and Allan of BallotBoxScot did an analysis I didn't follow showing no matter what the remaining vote are, the SGP are winning at least two region seats

[natasha_jay@tech.lgbt]

@SarahAS2 @jackeric
This is my understanding too also via BallotBoxScot and a few trans folk

[jackeric@beige.party]

@SarahAS2 @Natasha_Jay I've been spending all day thinking about how to make a visualisation of AMS voting with the regional vote share being divided by the number of seats already won... such a visualisation probably exists already

[natasha_jay@tech.lgbt]

@mewsleah
She'll get in on the List vote system.

@Natasha_Jay Scooped by another green candidate elected in Edinburgh! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c775r3nmp5gt?post=asset%3A33ba31d0-f579-4b67-b04a-105fbd082478#post

@gallais
I just saw. Now my limitations on the Scottish electoral system show and I await to see if it means 2 trans MSPs.

Either way it's good!

@Natasha_Jay@tech what a milestone, congrats to Iris Duane! really great to see.lgbt

[alexmorgannn@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay congrats Iris Duane! genuinely wonderful news, hopefully the first of many

[gallais@piaille.fr]

@Natasha_Jay She's in!

[natasha_jay@tech.lgbt]

@alexmorgannn
It appears she may have been pipped by another Green Party trans MSP, I'm waiting to understand if that means Q Manivannan or Iris is the first or both! Good news regardless.

[alexmorgannn@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay oh interesting, good to know! either way yeah, great news whatever the final count turns out to be

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@Natasha_Jay indeed she did!
