Of course they leave "trans" out as it's taken for granted it's absolutely fine to discriminate against us.
Cis people deserve reform. Give them a taste of what they happily put us through.

BREAKING 🚨 | Reform announce plans to legalise discrimination.
Plans include scrapping the Equality Act, which would legalise discrimination against a worker if they were a woman, disabled, black, pregnant or gay.

Straight-up, unvarnished, unconcealed white supremacy from the US State Department. This is a literal repeat of the 'white crisis' which led to the idea of the racially exclusive 'West' in the decades up to the 1930s. These aren't even echoes any more - it's a mirror image.
There’s little I hate more than white supremacist “we’re the inheritors of ancient Mesopotamia and Israel and Athens and Rome” rhetoric, but claiming this has been a single civilization over millennia is just a fascist cherry on top

Yes, this is a real UK High Court Judge dismissing a blatant breach of privacy rights - placing vulnerable people at proven risk of harassment, abuse and violence - as merely “gossip at work”.
How are such ignorant people allowed to hold positions of unchecked power?

FOI reveals the EHRC holds zero minutes of meetings with trans-led organisations in the past 5 years.
This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator.
Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.

Turkey isn't the first place you'd think of as being a defender of trans rights, and you'd be right, it isn't.
But it IS ranked higher for trans rights than the UK! I kid you not.

Braverman is now lambasting equalities policies, saying Reform would scrap the equalities brief and repeal the Equality Act. Giving her this role - any role, in fact - does feel like quite a risk for Reform.
