You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

Now it's gone way beyond that - if I use a female toilet in the workplace I risk being drawn into a public facing employment tribunal, where I'll be hounded by the press have people on the BBC payroll call me a rapist, and have a billionaire lawsuit funded against me that I will lose

I've talked about this before, but it is very hard when you see how moral red lines are drawn, and the complete gutting of trans people's civil rights is entirely within an accepted norm and barely remarked upon even by many progressives.

OTD in 1951 *2nd* wave of Operation Osen's deportations began. Over 16000 Lithuanians were forcibly sent to Siberia as USSR continued to liberate them from fascism & also their freedom 6 years after WW2 ended. Imagine mass deportations happening today?

It's not just a segregation of physical spaces. It's segregation of rights, priveledge and protections. A white cis het with an axe to grind gets state protection. A trans + person says anything not agreed with by the priveledge and they are punished. Dark times indeed.

This is the report Gender Criticals don't want you to see and they want to censor with legal threats. It also proves how anti feminist the gender critical movement is since a good portion of the report documents anti abortion groups tied to far right Christian fundamentalists.
