Almost all transphobia is just 90's homophobia with the word "gay" scribbled out in crayon and replaced with "trans"
god this drives me mad in the UK; hearing transphobic arguments from older liberals *that are identical to the 1990s conversation they were on the right side of*.
HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Okay but only if we also make the punishment for running a red light or failing to stop at a junction or zebra crossing being sat in your car as it's crushed into a cube.
There is speculation that the introduction of driverless cars could lead to jaywalking laws in the UK
65% of Britons would oppose making jaywalking a minor offence, including 41% "strongly opposed"
Only 24% are would support such rules

Hi, dual national here. You can only feel affinity or loyalty to *one* country? That's cute. I do it for two easily. I guess I'm just better than you. I'm twice as patriotic.

Nick Stone died after contact with the cops defending the far right group Bristol Patriots. This is the same group that attacked the Red Lion in BS5 yesterday. The cops threatened anyone who tried to leave the pub with arrest for "breach of the peace" and let the fascists stay there for an hour.

Quite striking how the argument the Green Party have been making for some time now - and getting called all sorts of silly names for by the Labour Government - is the most popular position with the British public.

Strikingly even current conservative voters are most likely to say it’s best for UK national security to align with the EU - along with majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Green voters while Reform voters are more likely to say it’s safer with the Commonwealth/CANZUK or the US
