I used to believe in “common sense”, until it was pointed out to me that the vast amount of common sense is only common to the people in power.

Trans people once again paying the price for Tory attempts to stoke up a moral panic in the run up to the next election.

Their message to the community is stay in the closet, and if you’re out then you should get back in. You will not be welcome in society and will be shunned should you try to participate in it in any capacity.

They don’t want trans people to exist, full stop. And they will try to legislate to that end. They’re scum.

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

We’ll see it’s like this:

Trans people can die in the streets.

No new wards needed!

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

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.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

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.
