This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.
This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.
These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

If I claimed to be involved in a tactical vote campaign that ushered in an even more right wing corrupt government than the 2024 Tories, I'd probably be keeping that quiet or issuing an earth shattering apology begging for forgiveness, rather than berating people who called all this right.

Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
