    I don’t believe he’s a man. If he was he might at least have some instinct to protect.

    Honest question, why should there even be a legal definition of woman?

    mainly for purposes like: who gets into women's prisons, women's bathrooms, women's domestic violence shelters

    I agree with you that in a gender-equal society there shouldn't be many purposes for which this matters, but "not many" isn't "none".

    Trump helps enflame anti-LGBTQ feeling from Hungary to Romania

    Since Trump's White House return, the Accept group he works for has received dozens of reports from people who say they are facing physical or verbal violence and online threats, with some sponsors now reluctant to support the march ...

    Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban -- a "good friend" of Trump -- has gradually been rolling back LGBTQ rights in the name of "child protection" in Hungary for years ...

    Vladimir Putin's Russia -- with which [Hungarian PM Viktor] Orban has warm ties -- has also been cracking down hard on gay and transgender communities ...

    [Romania] as one of the last countries in the EU where same sex marriages and civil partnerships are still outlawed, and where the powerful Orthodox Church wields its influence, defending "traditional, Christian values" against a "decadent West" has appeal for voters.

    In Slovakia [...] the climate has worsened since the homophobic double murder [committed by the son of a prominent member of an extreme-right party in front of a Bratislava gay bar in 2022], with Prime Minister Robert Fico back in power intensifying his anti-LGBTQ attacks, freezing funds to NGOs and halting procedures for transgender people [...] For Roman Samotny, who owns the now-shuttered Teplaren bar where the double murder took place, anti-LGBTQ propaganda has mainly taken inspiration from Russia, just like in Hungary, with Fico and Orban both close to Putin.

    STFU Starmer! If you don't understand it, just accept it, have some empathy, and show respect for your fellow human beings.

  • When I was younger, I used to think that "the UK is halfway between the US and Europe".

    It has never felt more true than recently.

    Rare? You bigots always say that trans woman are not woman. So it's a common L for Starmer and you.
