This guidance will push trans kids out of education, because it means you can’t socially transition and be at school.

In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different.

As a leftist (anarchist) one of the things that has led me to question leftist identity politics is the way that identity essentialism entails a belief that certain groups/identities can do no wrong and are beyond critique. Meaning antisemitism, misogyny, transphobia, racism, ableism, etc fester.
Antisemitism is alive and well on the left. And if you're a leftist tempted to reply with a no-true-Scotsman "liberals not leftist" argument, consider that antisemitism is alive and well among both leftists and liberals and your comment does not help anyone.

Trying to make the murder of children about trans people rather than your country’s rampant (cis male perpetrated) gun violence problem is certainly a vibe for the 21st century.

Plenty of families want to come and make a life in the UK, but their skin colour/accent/religion is the wrong type for Reform types. So instead they want to force white women to have babies.

Also, the “gay parents are worse” claim just isn’t true. Research shows that children of same sex couples have the same outcomes as those of heterosexual couples, sometimes better outcomes. The key determinants are class, income, etc, not whether you have two moms, two dads, or a mum and a dad.
It's a real full-circle moment because rhetoric that was refined in anti-trans propaganda is now being turned around to argue against gay marriage.
Note the renewed focus on children and the deployment of "biological parents" as a more-naturalized, more 'legitimate' category.
