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.

This is the stupidest culture war, fought with the stupidest people on one side and a marginalized group that really just would like to live a life without fear on the other. Not even "without fear," because apparently that's asking too much. Just no state-sanctioned fear.
I just see stupid and crazy people on both sides at this point tbh
Oh yes the both sides argument...
I can see how all of those trans people are offending you with their... Checks notes... Desire to exist.
Truly we live in a mad world.
There are THREE sides in the trans debate (besides not interested in it).
You are either pro trans rights, anti trans rights, or a russian bot sent here to pretend to be one of those previous two and drag the debate into the sewer as much as possible.
hey some of us are Russian bots who just happen to be trans, rather than for nefarious reasons
будь осторожен, Сергей, ты раскроешь наше прикрытие
The pro trans rights crowd calls me "anti trans rights" or a "bigot" and the anti trans rights crowd calls me "pro trans rights" or a "groomer"
You're just a bigot, and like all bigots, an idiot as well.
Case in point.
I think the issue is that you're out here having opinions on trans people/issues when you don't really know that much about the topic at all. I mean, you've got "the surgery" and "transgenderism" in your post history, and you're arguing in favor of keeping trans women out of women's restrooms. A lot of what you say is just kind of casually transphobic in like an ignorant way, but I feel like you probably don't mean to contribute to bigotry, right? I wish I had some reading material I could recommend. Check if your local library has a rainbow shelf?
I like to learn but also give my current perspective and where I'm at. People are free to change my mind if they like to challenge it.
