    The masses need to wake up and realize that the things being denied to us are just a test run for things that will be denied them as well in due time.

      Yep… It should be no surprise to anyone that the US-based far-right Christian group “ADF” has been pumping in £millions into the UK to fund anti-trans and anti-abortion lobbying and court cases (including the Supreme Court ruling on trans rights)… And have also been pumping money into UK law, and recently into the far-right Reform party who have argued against our current abortion rights laws (and Farage also previously having spoken with disdain on gay rights 🙄). Gotta love foreign interference in our politics, and in broad daylight.

      The ADF was also the group responsible for the overturning of Roe V Wade and removing women’s constitutional right to abortion in the US… Go figure

      More people need to be aware that the same people pushing for more and more restrictive laws on trans people, aren’t even hiding their motive to do the same for women as a whole - in fact they’ve already been doing so.

      It’s easier to convince the public to remove a large group of people’s rights, once you’ve already set the precedent that it’s okay to take rights away from a different group. That’s why they first target the smaller more vulnerable group that’s has significantly less, if no voice in politics.

      Trans rights are also deeply rooted in rights to Bodily Autonomy as deeply recognised by Women’s rights law organisations

      It’s just sad that some women don’t realise they’re attacking the exact people who would be standing by their side when their rights are being threatened…

      I’m still going to continue being vocal about women’s rights, especially when they start properly going after abortion rights… I just wish it was mutual :/
