As the battle to become Scotland’s next First Minister continues to be fought on trans grounds, it appears candidate Humza Yousaf has found support from some genderless and heartless social media accounts.

At least four accounts that published the above phrase on Twitter have since been suspended. Another ineffectual drone has tweeted an endorsement of Humza Yousaf in the race to replace Nicola Sturgeon – “In this election, it has to be Humza” says Ian Blackford.
