    Fuck this country. I am sincerely worried that some of my friends will do something stupid today. Please check on any UK trans people you know repeatedly this week.

    To any trans people. Live, please. Do whatever you must to survive this hostility. The pendulum of reaction will subside, it has before, it will again, and we’ll need you at the vanguard.

        Because they have institution on their side and hold nothing back to get what they want. Better people are more charitable and forgiving, something these people always take advantage of.

    UK continuing the proud tradition of choosing to do the worst thing it could out of any given situation.

    About what you expect when the ruling class are a bunch of inbred freaks.

    nothing more than playing around with legislation to try and reverse the progress that has been made over recent decades. it will fail just as all other attempts have, even the Nazi regime could not manage it. we can’t go back to a time when trans people didn’t exist. there never has been one.

      I sure hope you’re right but I am not so certain.

      This throws the equality act into all kinds of issues. There will need to be a rewrite. Eventually when that rewrite happens it will occur with a misogynistic homophobic hate group funded by friend-to-nazis JK Rowling currently holding the ear of government.

        I’ll be bad, but remember that not too long ago there were laws criminalising homosexuality (and often trans people got caught in the crossfire.) I know a few old butch lesbian types who would pretend to be gay cis men so the others could escape during a raid since the laws didn’t effect them as much.

    I think that the best thing you can do, right now, is to reach out to the transgender people in your lives and tell them you care, and if applicable, that you love them. This goes doubly so for the ones in the UK. I imagine that most, if not all of us really need to be told that someone gives a shit.

    Yeah, there’s much, much more to be done but I think that would be a nice place to start.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
