The difference is included trans people along with everyone else, or segregating us into a separate space that puts us every time we go there.

I think there’s a mistranslation of terminology going on here. I’ve never heard anyone in the UK describe themselves as ā€œgender neutralā€. They would most likely use ā€œnon-binaryā€. When we say gender neutral toilets, we mean toilets for people of any gender, not toilets just for non-binary people.

I thought the transphobes’ preferred definition of woman was ā€œpretty, white incubatorā€

In the past, I’ve wondered if birds get annoyed about having to use their feet for stuff and envy humans’ hands in the same way that humans envy birds’ ability to fly. And I didn’t even have the excuse of being in the pub.

I starting to think that for the last 20-30 years reasonable, sane people have decided that being in charge of stuff isn’t worth the trouble, and we’ve accidentally put unreasonable, insane people in charge of everything.

All it takes is the existence of a trans person to make a lot of self-described feminists swear that women are hopelessly inferior to men at every conceivable activity.

There's nothing to do but make jokes. What else is there to say, other than: To EVERYONE in charge, EVERYONE in a position of power, EVERYONE with money, EVERYONE with influence: you are failing us, completely. We are terrorized, we are stressed, we are homeless, we are dying. You are failing us.

EHRC exists to give the government plausible deniability for human rights abuses. EHRC can provide guidance and the government can act under that guidance. When those actions are in breach of human rights the government is protected because they can assert it was acting under advisement from EHRC.

Transphobes saying ā€œwe’re exhausted and we just want to go back to our livesā€ really isn’t that far from Putin saying ā€œit’s so unfair that Ukraine defended themselves when we invadedā€

They do understand, but Reform voters don’t. And nobody and nothing else matters to Labour.
