This is exactly the point, aligned with tradwife culture in the US, which is also steeped in colonial whiteness. There is only One Way to Do Woman, and it is to inhabit the contradictory, impossible archetype of the demure white wife-mother-daughter who will always be silent about assault.
If the EHRC had their way we'd see all women forced back into wearing only skirts and dresses and wearing their hair long lest they be suspected of being trans and banned from going to the toilet.
That's what this is suggesting. Masculine women being denied access alongside trans people.

![The guidance said that if transgender people are excluded from a space, organisations should consider whether there is a suitable alternative for them and that it would not be proportionate to leave them without essential services, such as access to lavatories.
But it also outlines how in some cases that may not be possible owing to the physical constraints of buildings or high costs. It said: “It may be that offering alternative arrangements is not reasonably possible […] this may be because of the type of service being provided, the needs of the service users, the physical constraints of any building, or because of the disproportionate financial costs associated with making those arrangements.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:movr4wsu2du5xbmeragyr5cx/bafkreigp3qse73rzhl2czgxgbmpzectwrb4hdwxk44fm52m7l7cu36mwaa@jpeg)

People saying The Greens "aren't serious people" without (mostly) engaging with the ideas just sort of shows to me how lazy British political discourse is.

I believe in the Resonance of Sins in places. It compounds and grows with time. All the compiled sins of design, graft, malfeasance, greed, and sloth accumulate. Some structures are born cursed. Others become damned because of us over time.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

Oh look, the pattern of "Each Home Secretary is somehow more inhumane than the last" continues even with a change in government.
We are one of the most petty, miserable, mean-spirited, spiteful little islands in the world. The process we force these people through is already dehumanising and a stain on the moral character of us all.
And this ghoul thinks it is too generous.
I'm gonna lose it.

The more stuff comes out of the Epstein files, the more I feel like it'll all be like the end of Crooked Little Vein because I don't understand how it can be so terrifying to people who do obviously dngaf about anything else.

Oh, actually, that does sort of explain why notorious isolationist Trump even cares about BBC reporting/documentaries
"the BBC remains quite easily the most trusted news organisation in the UK. In the US, where it recently notched up monthly viewing figures of 77m, it is now the second most trusted news source—just behind the Weather Channel." Because with all its flaws, it IS vastly superior to all the US networks
