Croft v Royal Mail 2003 established in law, that has not and cannot be superseded by the Supreme Court ruling, before the GRA existed, that trans people have the right to use gendered facilities once they reach an appropriate point in their transition. Reindorf and co deliberately ignore that.

This sounds like it'd make a good sci-fi short story. Society slowly crumbling because a single ommission recursive eradicates all knowledge *looks out window* ffs I said story. FICTIONAL story

if I see one person suggest that trans people are acceptable losses in exchange for other stuff, it’s on sight that is evil and it is also loser reasoning we fight this WHOLE bill there is nothing to compromise here, especially not on vital lifesaving care for trans people

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Most "your food is worse" discourse ignores the fact that much of usa/eu is dominated by multi billion $/£/€ supermarket chains in a race to the bottom The "baked beans vs cheese in a tube" ignores all the good food in favour of the lowest common dominator

Another classic of the genre. The actual story. A,few years ago an opponent jokily asked me to throw my questions. I said I couldn't. Everyone moved on. This "major rule" otherwise known as "don't cheat" is apparently little known.

Apparently the reason the left "always loses" is because some of us are annoying and put people off. The far-right, of course, are a bunch of cool chill guys that are fun and normal 24/7.
