I do still think the UK's hatred of trans people does come back to the aristocracy and royals and back to that 1970 case that upset their status quo way back then. The UK would absolutely need to address its trans rights if we were ever to rejoin the EU.

I think Europe is still going in the right direction. The European court of justice has been consistent in their ruling on trans rights. And just recently the Council of Europe has published its first LGBT strategy following the EU leadership. www.coe.int/en/web/porta...

In terms of BBC erasing Protect the Dolls T shirt - make your feelings known - the TERF lobby has been relentless (and has plenty of allies in the BBC) - they need to know there are plenty of people who are trans allies too

I'd hope they would sanction the UK over it, or even call it out, but there's been nothing but silence. I know the UK is independent of the EU since brexit but the EU call out other countries whose human rights have reduced. I am now legally segregated against. It SUCKS badly.

I wonder if he's placating various groups such as Scottish independence movement, and others but I don't trust Labour either. I think Labour need to prove they're committed to this rather than talking the talk. Starmer u-turned more than the Tories and Burnham seems to be following.

Isn't the EU looking to restrict some rights for new entrants for 15 years? The last thing they, or the UK, wants is for us to get back in, get Reform at the next election and pull out again. UK human rights have slipped significantly since 2016 too, even if Labour are in denial.

And within those 3 years maybe you can find a long term job, or sponsorship, or education, or fall in love. It gives you options. Or you can stay in the UK - banned from toilets, changing rooms, put on wrong hospital wards, living in fear of the 'Deception as to Sex' law.

I guess 'into the red' depends how good or bad depending on the deck. Mine has 3 leds upto 3db, but it can go right up to 8db. I've never gone anywhere near that. I max out at 2-3 red leds at 2-3db. I think 6-8 db is more for quality metal tapes which just can't be found any more?

But at the risk of tape saturation, surely. Unless it was a high end metal tape, but even then.

The Labour government are all millionaires and been in politics so long they probably haven't a clue how much their electric bill is - just so long as it gets put on expenses. Talking of electric. The Big Six are soon becoming the Big Three. So much for privatised competition. Monopoly more like.

Oh yeah I saw those. Restricting the NHS - like restricting diagnosis on a political whim is ever a good thing. I imagine such NHS departments are finding their funding cut, professionals scared off, private services under attack until they give up etc.

I saw this posted earlier. In the UK I think a similar thing will play out but over toilet bans. In 20 years time companies will deny they ever banned us. So keep the evidence. Take pictures of toilet doors excluding us, corporate memos etc. Make their boardroom go silent in 20 years time!

I rarely find my friends posts under 'following' though they appear more reliably under 'popular with friends', so I do think that the algorithm is sidelining trans voices. BS are an American company after all. I misunderstood what northsky was, thinking it was a new replacement for BS.
