I gotta say, it’s a bit alarming that the Torries seem to be regularly borrowing the shittiest ideas that the GOP is coming up with these days.

The British right wing have been eagerly watching what’s been happening in the US, and making notes on what they think will work here.

Expect more of this to come. The cultural differences between the UK and USA - particularly the less religiosity, makes me think it won’t take off as well here.

I wish it was just the GOP they were copying, and not the damn NSDAP.

Potato, potato. At this point, the GOP is starting to copy the NSDAP too, so there’s not really a meaningful difference.

When our cities are underwater, our forests are deserts and the surviving humans are fighting each other over scraps of food, we can be grateful that conservatives everywhere made it a priority to protect us from the danger of trans people.

Hardly shocking. Restricting access to healthcare is a long standing tactic for these cunts.

Fuck this guy. Trans women are women and deserve respect and appropriate healthcare.

As always, does that mean trans men should also be placed in the incorrect ward? Or do they also get their own private rooms?

Trans men doesn’t exist to the bigots. They always forget them. And then when reminded they’re fine with trans men being treated like men. For … reasons (mostly reasons of having forgotten they exist)

The Guardian article about this suggested it would apply to both, but that may be The Guardian’s own supposition.

Like most of their policies I doubt the government have thought about the details.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
