Trans people like me are facing segregation now. We need parliament to restore our rights

  The only alternative is to form trans-unions as a collective so you are not so alone. That is how the workers are handling it since the government does not pass too many worker protection laws due to corporation lobbying. Good luck and all the best.

  But then who would the government have to use as the sacrificial lamb?

  And much like the lamb, entirely innocent, just wanting to live their life

  Feel like there must be a way to troll this legislation. Follow the law to the letter, use the legally correct toilet and make people uncomfortable.

  Fuck me this law is retarded. But take the piss out of it is probably the most effective counter to it.

    I don’t like that the r slur has wormed itself back into common parlance, we nearly completely killed it off then suss it came back from nowhere

    Maybe we should all go around with stickers saying “gender neutral toilet” and put them over every M/F sign we see

      To be fair it says gents/ladies rather than male/female. Or its a picture showing its for people in trousers or dresses. I suspect there is a strong argument for instructions unclear.

    They don’t want women’s toilets to be safe, they just want trans people to die. Trans men going to women’s toilets and making people uncomfortable as they are legally required to will inevitably be spun into trans people being dangerous and unavoidably incompatible with the rest of society.

    This will allow them to argue for the necessity of queer ghettoes, as people in general use public toilets can not realistically give informed consent about having scary trans people in their spaces.

    There may be an intermediate/parallel step where they’ll require trans people to give people the opportunity for informed consent. Legally require them announce themselves at the door, to wait for people who don’t consent to leave, and to hang up a sign notifying people that a trans person is using this toilet right now. Trans people that want their privacy back are free to move to a ghetto and use the unisex toilets there.

    I give it until 2028 before trans people have to identify themselves in public spaces, until 2030 before children are forcefully removed from trans parents, and 2032 before life expectancy in trans concentration camps drops to under 10 years. Unless people left of labor take power electorally or otherwise.

  I genuinely don’t understand how the right wing have managed to pull this off. What a horrible outcome.

  It hasn’t come up yet, but if I see anyone telling someone not to use a particular bathroom for any reason I will be standing up to them.

    Lots and lots of money.

    JKR is a huge part of it, the terfs managed to bag a whale and then use her for every penny she’s got

    They’ve inflated the issue with constant media attention, and the government jumps on it as it’s better than tackling the actual issues people are facing of which the government supports.
