At some point cishets do need to realize that the UK is abandoning the law to abuse LGBT people.

If the rule of law is gone, then all laws are fair game

Labour takes the extremist step of seeking to restrict freedom of association for *all* citizens — in contravention of two international human accords: Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights

Starmer’s “rights” agency declared that groups “should” exclude trans people: “A women-only or lesbian-only association should not admit trans women (biological men), and a men-only or gay men-only association should not admit trans men (biological women).”

The UK is a signatory of both accords and is obligated to protect the rights enshrined in them.

Starmer’s government is so blinded by bigotry it is ready to restrict the rights of all citizens, so arrogant that it’s ready to abandon the core principles of a free society.

Are labour using this to attempt to leave as a signatory?

I doubt it, I think they’re so arrogant they think rights simply don’t matter if they involve trans ppl

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, of which the UK is a party, plainly states: “Everyone shall have the right to freedom of association with others.” The European Convention says the same: “Everyone has the right to freedom to freedom of association with others.”
