How old is Maria Steen? Does she not remember we tried this already and it was both miserable and dangerous?
Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce.

The most not-working class thing of all, for these people, is having the gall and the gumption to articulate an opinion.
British journalists are always like "I only had 4 annual european holidays growing up, because my father, the Baron, was a bit of a cheapskate, so really I am working class" then 5 minutes later decree an actual working class person a faker because they drink coffee

In this story, there is a lot of support for trans people that you rarely see covered in the media unless they're being attacked. Businesses and individuals all standing up and saying 'I will not be a part of this' and I think that needs to be highlighted because it can feel lonely out there.

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban
Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining
At least 12 Women’s Institute (WI) groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership.

It's devastating to me how much public money is being wasted in the British legal system purely on maintaining maximally destructive stances on human rights in service to the political ideology of the regime.
