I gotta say, it’s a bit alarming that the Torries seem to be regularly borrowing the shittiest ideas that the GOP is coming up with these days.
The British right wing have been eagerly watching what’s been happening in the US, and making notes on what they think will work here.
Expect more of this to come. The cultural differences between the UK and USA - particularly the less religiosity, makes me think it won’t take off as well here.
I wish it was just the GOP they were copying, and not the damn NSDAP.
Potato, potato. At this point, the GOP is starting to copy the NSDAP too, so there’s not really a meaningful difference.
They’ve been copying the US for years.
When our cities are underwater, our forests are deserts and the surviving humans are fighting each other over scraps of food, we can be grateful that conservatives everywhere made it a priority to protect us from the danger of trans people.
What do you think all this Culture War nonsense is being used to misdirect people from?
I mean, we have been known to throw bricks, but lately climate change seems a bit more pressing, don’t you think?
Fuck this guy. Trans women are women and deserve respect and appropriate healthcare.
As always, does that mean trans men should also be placed in the incorrect ward? Or do they also get their own private rooms?
Trans men doesn’t exist to the bigots. They always forget them. And then when reminded they’re fine with trans men being treated like men. For … reasons (mostly reasons of having forgotten they exist)
The Guardian article about this suggested it would apply to both, but that may be The Guardian’s own supposition.
Like most of their policies I doubt the government have thought about the details.
Trans people once again paying the price for Tory attempts to stoke up a moral panic in the run up to the next election.
Their message to the community is stay in the closet, and if you’re out then you should get back in. You will not be welcome in society and will be shunned should you try to participate in it in any capacity.
They don’t want trans people to exist, full stop. And they will try to legislate to that end. They’re scum.
What the fuck… These lot are going all out fascist.
Hardly shocking. Restricting access to healthcare is a long standing tactic for these cunts.
Where are you going to get the extra wards from, you massive pillock?
We’ll see it’s like this:
Trans people can die in the streets.
No new wards needed!
Mixed wards for all! This is the way.
I used to believe in “common sense”, until it was pointed out to me that the vast amount of common sense is only common to the people in power.
