Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Ursula K. LeGuin, "American SF and the Other," 1975.

If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself-as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation-you may hate it or deify it; but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own real-ity. You have, in fact, alienated yourself.

Seriously, fuck Starmer and his hideous, ghoulish cabinet. From this grim decision to Streeting's anti-trans shit, they're just full of spite for vulnerable people. I truly hope they get wiped out at the next election and that the UK gets a proper progressive party in power(sharing?).
