There are a lot more trans people than there are politicians. Despite this, politicians have a much higher rate of criminality, arrest, and sexual offences (including minor related). I do not feel safe sharing public spaces with such a dangerous group, and this belief should be protected.

'we should segregate trans ppl bcos their presence is upsetting to me' is no different from the reasoning used to segregate Black ppl it's absurd that these ppl are claiming that they don't have a phobia when their entire argument is 'trannies make me feel icky' @lucympowell.bsky.social can f off

Even before the NHS transphobia went out Andy Burnham had become the most transphobic Prime Minister in the UK’s history. Now he is troweling on the transphobia layer by layer. Burnham is just a bully and a bigot. About as progressive as Suella Braverman.

Easy way to solve private companies preying on very vulnerable neurodivergent people: take the damn conditions seriously and fund their treatment on the NHS.

I just noticed this is a report from THREE YEARS AGO, when the tories were the ones trying to ban trans women from female hospital wards 😑 good job, Burnham, your government has achieved what Sunak could only dream of

I have already heard from trans constituents who are avoiding essential NHS screening and treatment for fear of being treated without respect and dignity. Ministers told me: “the revised guidance will support the privacy, dignity and safety of all patients” How exactly does this do that?

One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.
Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England saysThe UK's new plan for trans students: bathroom bans, forced outing, & no social transitions

The plan is likely to place trans and gender non-conforming children at greater risk.Single-sex spaces open to the public, such as toilets and changing rooms, should be organised based on biological sex, according to official guidance that has come into force.

The code, published by Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), says trans people should use either gender-neutral facilities or the ones that match their biological sex, in places such as gym changing rooms or rape crisis centres.Trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population, data shows

By Alice McCool and Ludovic Parsons

Investigation finds that trans people make up 1% of the UK population and 7% of child suicides, but official data is full of holes

Sally Rooney's books will no longer be distributed by Faber & Faber due to her support for Palestine Action. This is absurd, and part of a broader ludicrousness in British society where solidarity with Palestine is punished in increasingly nonsensical ways, while genocide goes unpunished.

I see the Times is going full on attack disabled individuals as scroungers and layabouts with no consideration for how PIP is not an "out of work benefit" and how for many it is essential support to actually work and live.
