[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 3 months ago (5 children) As far as I can tell the UK is the only country in the whole of Europe following America down this specific insane moral and political rabbit-hole. It's like they tried to get into the XXI century, failed and decided to go back to their time of greatness, the Victorian Era. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 child) They do have a prominent billionaire who is bribing anyone to take up her anti-trans positions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago You're a TERF, Harry permalink fedilink source parent [–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (1 child) ah yes the rest of Europe is super tolerant against trans people. LOL. Russia has a laws that forbids gender reassignment surgery. And they have a law that bans LGBTQ "propaganda" basically write or film something positive or even neutral information about the LGBTQ will get you in jail. Hungary and Poland haven't been very friendly against queers in the last decade. Almost every right wing party in Europe that has "family values" on their agenda wants to see trans people gone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) Hungary and Poland both just emerged from their very own far-right populist period. Meanwhile Britain supposedly did too and then elected a supposedly "center" - "left" government and instead of it getting better this shit just got worse. Oh, and the Brexiter Tories were apparently not Right-wing enough for a large fraction of the population so Reform UK rose. Even the "left" in Britain are nutters compared to all of Western, Northern and Southern Europe. I'll give you Russia, though - it is indeed comparable to Britain in terms of having 19th century morals. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nightlily@leminal.space 5 points 3 months ago Following? Make no mistake, TERF island has been pioneering this. The American Right has been funding TERF groups there as a test bed. It’s spilling over into the former territories like NZ too - a few days ago the coalition government there voted through a first reading of a „definition of man and woman“ bill (bills go through three readings before becoming law) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago Transgender rights are actually significantly varied across Europe and Central Asia permalink fedilink source parent [–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago Its interesting change. Considering companies has always been pro whatever is profitable. The question why this shift happened without any push back from companies and wealthy people. In fact most of these decisions seems to cost people more money. permalink fedilink source parent
