More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
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.
Most cis women who are against trans women being in "their" bathrooms are either hardcore bigots or trenders. Trans women have been using womens bathrooms for decades and it's only recently people started to care.
Cis women shouldn't want bathroom policing because they could be harassed too for not looking womanly enough. Trans exclusion therefore often overlaps with mysogyny and racism.
Banning trans people from bathrooms often bans them from all but disabled / gender neutral bathrooms. A trans man can neither go to the mens nor the womens. This means many trans people will not be able to go out comfortably, and mah not be able to get jobs where those bathrooms are not available. Because of this, bathroom bans are a disproportionate action that violates humans rights and discrimination laws.
We all know this is an absurd moral panic and the fact things have gotten this far is a national embarassment.
Sadly the government has decided to hurt all women in pushing for these new hate rules.
They wrote a whole project about it.
I remember, one labor day before the coordinated propaganda campaign, stopping at a rest stop on a rural highway and there being a longish line of women waiting for the bathroom. I was so nervous, but got nothing but smiles and "over here, girl!"
This was the default behavior before the manufactured bigotry
