  • Nigel Farage waves the England flag; should we hate and blame all English folk for his hatred?

    Is that not what you’re doing when you say stuff like.

    the Scottish people, who are by and large far more left wing than the English, had the most trans-inclusive legislation in the UK. The Scots are aggrieved that yet again something progressive was overruled by an English-dominated power.

    ??

    the meme is from regular trans ally Scots folks expressing Scottish solidarity with LGBT+, and I think it’s a mistake to be getting cross about that because nasty author is also a Scot and the hate group had Scottish in the name.

    But it’s fine to be cross about all of England because some of the judges of the case were English?


  • I’m under no illusion about them being for women, they are a hate group, but they are a Scottish hate group full of Scottish tranphobes funded by Scottish bigots.

    Scotland has it’s own devolved parliament. But England does not.

    Most people in England stand with Trans people too. The idea that Scotland is some left wing utopia filled with kind people but England is a horrid place full of right wingers is just nonsense.

    And again, you can claim that this is England’s fault all you want, but as an English trans person, if it wasnt for a Scottish supreme court judge siding with a Scottish hate group on a issue concerning an act passed in Scottish parliament, then I would still have my rights under the equalities act.



  • Yes, there a 9 English Judges to Scotland’s 2 because England has 10x the population of Scotland. So a Scottish person actually has more than 2x the representation on the supreme court proportionally.

    And it was a majority English government that put the equalities act into law in the first place.

    Yes it absolutely was Scotland doing it not only to itself, but to the entire union.

    Because as a trans person in England if it wasnt for For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers case about an act of the Scottish parliament, where the case opinion was lead by a Scottish man, I would still have the same rights to live my life as I did 3 years ago, but I do not.










  • This seems like kind of the opposite for me.

    The biggest change to my ADHD was when I got an autistic obsession with a sport, so I started excersizing, eating better and sleeping better.

    The second paragraph would be entirely useless to me and woulntnwork as soon as it was more than 2 steps and involves writing






  • I’m pleasantly surprised you accepted it. I guess I’m still used to other parts of the internet where people are a lot worse than they are here.

    But yeah, through my other experiences I’ve learnt to not give someone evidence until they tell me what evidence they will actually accept, as it’s the best method to counter people moving goalpost. And you saying any sources I might have would be biased put me in that mode.

    But hey, all’s well that ends well and no hard feelings dude. And I’m sorry for being a dick.

    From what I’ve read theres a couple educated guesses people make but very little in terms of actual study on what causes the difference.

    Yeah that’s fair, but I can’t think of many eSports where reaction times don’t st least play a part, and at the highest levels, even a small disadvantage can make a big difference. But it’s certainly not the only factor and sexism is probably a bigger problem
