MODERATORS
"in the country"
Bruh, their point was you are talking about a different country. I happen to agree with your opinion, but how bathrooms work in Los Angeles has no bearing on the laws in the UK.
Exactly and even in the UK the laws of England won't necessarily be the same as the laws of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
So I can't make a comment with related info? Like the US culture wars aren't relevant to what laws are being proposed in the UK?
Absolutely post relevant info, I'm saying your audience here doesn't consider what you posted to be relevant.
If your comments had tied in to the greater anglosphere discussions around trans people or used the examples as a thing to emulate or avoid, that would be relevant.
As they are, your comments just sound like you think of England as an extension of the US or at least you think the lawmakers of England are concerned about bathrooms in California
I'm saying it's not big deal, and even the most liberal part of the US only has what the conservatives are complaining about in extremely rare circumstances in addition to other options, and it's also not a big deal. That sounds perfectly relevant
