Didn’t they oppose universal free school meals on the basis that it would also benefit kids whose parents could afford to pay? 🤔

Re this, my reading of what is written on the webpage referenced is that evidence is a requirement for segregated spaces, not for trans-inclusive provision. In other words, trans inclusive by default.

I love cars, but they belong in museums. I wouldn’t buy a new car today. I hope my current car will be my last, and that I’ll have access to a car club when the time comes.

For me, owning a car is like being addicted to something that makes you sick.
