Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

And here we are. "tRaNsPhObE!"
I've explained my point of view succinctly, we disagree, but it has nothing to do with transphobia.
Honestly, people like you are your own worst enemy. Shame on you.
You act like you get called a transphobe frequently...
Which would make sense if you were never asking in good faith and I'm far from the first person who has taken the time to attempt to explain and reached the same conclusion.
How often does this happen to you?
Did you ever stop and consider why other people aren't constantly being told their views are transphobic?
You do realize that's rare, right?
It's notable if it keeps happening to someone by different unconnected people...
I know that when you don't wholly agree with a person that unquestionably goes along with dogma regarding trans rights that it's only matter of time until the "transphobe" card comes out. It's no different to debating a Zionist about Palestine's right to exist, sooner or later you're going to be accused of being an anti-Semite.
I don't think that being concerned that children might make decisions they later regret makes me a transphobe, but if you do, you're entitled to your opinion.
I've already conceded that we're clearly not going to change eachothers minds on the issue. How long are we going to keep banging our heads on the wall?
Are you comparing trans people to genociders? What the fuck is wrong with you
