General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

I wonder what these morons think about intersex people or is that concept beyond a primary school child's understanding so not considered by the judges?

It's a group funded by JK Rowling, she is laser-focused on trans woman and so intersex people and trans men are an after thought, if they are even given a thought.

Just wait till trans men using the ladies bathrooms etc. causes uproar.

IMO this is the definitive way to demonstrate the absurdity of their position; essentially coordinated mobbing of "women's spaces", by AFAB/FtM trans/intersex groups.

I am however, also aware that it requires marginalised groups of a marginalised group to paint a big target on themselves, and thus understand why it's not been massively used to protest this dumb bigotry.

The judges can only consider the law as written, which uses a sex at birth definition. They can’t make new stuff up out of nowhere. That’s Parliament’s job.
