UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So in a quest to ban something that has never caused an actual problem they just create a new one.
Women who have transitioned into becoming a man will now be forced to explain to everyone that they are biologically a woman when entering a toilet, and for me there is now a chance that the next time I'm stood at a urinal my neighbour will be a woman with a bigger knob than mine.
Meanwhile, actual sex offenders will continue to not be stopped from committing offences in toilets and changing rooms because of a little sign on the door
It's actually even worse than that, as women could now legally complain to the owner that there is a man in the toilets and they are unsafe. In thiscase it would be discriminatory to NOT kick the trans man out of the women's toilets.
This leaves trans people with nowhere to go, which the authors of the guidance have acknowledged. So they have left the option for the owner to permit trans people to use the disabled toilets....
Which is a win win if you don't give a shit about disabled people OR trans people.
now there's a way to attack this
Perfect lol
