I suppose technically it should be Terf Islands?

(un)happily been calling it terf island for years, sadly watching it manifest clearer and clearer over time

I was led to believe that the UK had a stiff upper lip by years of British comedy Rach, but they sure seem to bristle when people are mildly rude about bigotry and dehumanization.

Did Hugh Laurie mislead me? Are the brits sensitive? 😭

shiftingentity.bsky.social•4 days ago

stiff lips crack under pressure it seems 😔

also, oh the things I have to say about mainstream british comedy..........

Scotland tried to be better. The UK government would let it happen.
I wish the Scottish Government had fought harder on this.
Now we are stuck, complicit, on TERF island.

unfortunately now it seems like they’re joining in, othering trans people up at Holyrood by forcing trans people to use gender neutral toilets
