Oh mate. Your party (Your Party) has been far from united and it's only been around five minutes.

Just another vehicle to serve your vanity and to split the Left, letting the Right in. Again. To everyone's detriment.

Just join the Greens.

Indeed. I can't imagine being a furry at a British school in the 90s.

I'm *not* advocating bullying, but a few raised eyebrows would have helped a lot of people on Reddit.

Butterworth's Vintage? In Totnes? Was not expecting that shout out - great as it is!

Oh wow. Actual ignorant Stalinists.

When did Britain and France supply materiel to Hitler? Stalin did!

When did Britain and France carve up Eastern Europe between them and Hitler? Stalin did!

You're embarrassing.

Isn't it though?!

My girlfriend (now wife) used to carry round snacks for me because my mood changed when I was hungry.

That was okay when we were single and absolute gym bunnies. Post kids, I went from fit to overweight to borderline obese.

6 months on Mounjaro and I'm back to nearly fit again.

Not on my list because I don't know what it is!

I suspect I don't want to... or even to have it in my search history.

Look who you're arguing with though.

Tags for (inter alia) non consent, degradation, humiliation, even snuff.

Bloody hell.

And you specifically are not the person to make the 'we just want to pee' argument.

Tags for non consent, snuff, self harm, incest, degradation and humiliation.

Stay the fuck away from anyone of either sex, frankly.

But that is the point of the Supreme Court judgment!

You *are* being treated 'the same as the rest', by being obliged to use the services, facilities, etc., that accord with your sex.

The law is not optional and it does not discriminate.

No, not at all, there's a lot in there for me to digest and learn from.

Gosh that's a good and very educational article. Thankyou for sharing.

I won't completely give up my view that there's a 'plain speaking' tendency that's part of the culture here and inoculates us against ideologies in general, certainly acting *as well as*, not *instead of* the factors listed.

Ooh, sorry, you're not American are you? Point stands though!

charlessurface.bsky.social @charlessurface.bsky.social · 16d

We obviously are.

If you're holding Brexit against us, have you noticed who your President is?

Not to mention 70% of you believe in a sky fairy of some flavour and 10% of you believe the Earth is flat.

Belief in the supernatural and scientific ignorance are necessary to believe humans change sex.

And everyone clapped.

charlessurface.bsky.social @charlessurface.bsky.social · 16d

There's a lot that's wrong in the article!

1

charlessurface.bsky.social @charlessurface.bsky.social · 16d

Oh, y'know, 'stuff'.

It's a dreadful article from start to finish, full of these unsubstantiated assertions.

As above, I *really* object to the idea that being gender critical is a US import. For me, it's a very British refusal to believe in esoteric bullshit. Reason we're more atheist than US.

Yes! Overlooked classic.

charlessurface.bsky.social @charlessurface.bsky.social · 17d

Quite the opposite.

Trans ideology is US cultural imperialism here.

Indeed - Lib Dem opposition to VAT on private school fees is them playing this very nicely.

We're still now a safe Tory seat, but if current polls held (I know!!! and agree) I can see it being Reform Vs Lib Dem.
