Sir queer harmer everyone

I literally cannot talk about what I think of this government anymore. And this is just the latest in their attempt to complete the bingo card of having every most despicable, self-defeating, and pointlessly cruel policy possible.

vote for labour government
look inside
tory government
- Starmer is legit worse than any Tory leader up until Sunak. Even Truss decided against enacting a toilet ban.
- Oh hey i know that, since 1989 whomever we vote for in Poland, there's always balcerowicz coming out from ballot box.

What has the poor sea done to deserve having to swallow these wretched islands?
- Not doing it before things got out of hand.
  
  i curse poseidon's name daily for not destroying britain
- provided warm climate for vegetation to produce easily accessible coal deposits, sea knows what it did
  
  :malm-shining:
- We all need to do our part, no exceptions

in a just world this guy would be stoned to death in front of his family

Sink TERF Island, and throw Keir into a woodchipper first
- Sink TERF Island
  Fossil Fuel Industries: "On it."
  
  Me
  
  oil companies
  widespread misery and damage to civilization

US and UK competing to see who can be the most grotesquely transphobic.

i still think this is the weirdest way to handle this. if everyone was using their birth restrooms, then you get dudes with big beards in the womens room. like obviously not a well thought out position.
- It is well thought out, because they don't want trans men in women's toilets. They don't want trans people in public, or to exist at all. That's the entire point.
  
  Jokes on them, I'll piss in the street while shouting 'they should provide access to facilities' at anyone who looks at me
- Laws like this are designed to be selectively enforced against people that a society wants to discriminate against.
  This isn't an oversight so much as a way to empower the state to pick and choose who gets punished.
  In the case of laws like these, fully passing people pee like they did before. Everyone else is fucked
  
  fully passing people
  Fully passing and fully stealth. If someone at your work knows and hates you for example, still fucked.
- it helps to frame it as "they don't want trans people to exist in public at all".
- It's well thought out if the goal is just transphobia (which it is)
  
  Is the goal transphobia or is transphobia the guiding principle? I don't imagine them thinking "we should do/say this to be transphobic" but more going "because of transphobic beliefs we have, we believe we should do this".
  I think it's an important distinction between a more widespread unconscious problematic belief within society which permeates everything and must be addressed through deep roots (cultural revolution type beat) and a consciously held and enforced idealism upon which removing the enforcers would solve the problem (just vote out the transphobes)
- That's the neat part: trans men are banned from both restrooms!
  Moreover, women living in the male gender could also be excluded under paragraph 28 without this amounting to gender reassignment discrimination. This might be considered proportionate where reasonable objection is taken to their presence, for example, because the gender reassignment process has given them a masculine appearance or attributes to which reasonable objection might be taken in the context of the women-only service being provided. Their exclusion would amount to unlawful gender reassignment discrimination not sex discrimination absent this exception.
  I guess they can piss outside or something???
  
  That's the neat part: trans men are banned from both restrooms!
  Or rather organisions are now allowed to ban trans men from both bathrooms. The Equality Act is a badly written and conceived law in many places that labour could fix any time they want (but won't).
  
  I know it's bullshit to expect the most vulnerable to do the heavy lifting when it comes to opposing existing power structures.....
  But that's exactly what I'd be doing.
  Anytime I had to piss I'd walk over to my most bigoted coworker and start pissing on their desk. Sorry, just following the law. I'm not allowed in either bathroom and tou have to let me relieve myself at work. Might be time to start considering whether these laws make any sense.
- I kinda get the feeling most of these clowns don't even know that trans dudes exist
- When you realize the establishment would rather trans people not exist at all, the thought process begins to make more sense.

They're gonna keep chopping letters off LGBTQIA+ until there's nothing left

My ongoing working theory that the UK proved to be completely irredeemable after rejecting Corbyn and you dont have to care about it because it's all bullshit continues to have a 100% success rate.
