'how did that work out for trans?'
well, actually, most ppl under the age of 30 are unlikely to be transphobic. teaching kids about us worked well and reduced prejudice and bigotry toward us.
that's why @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social has reversed it and has reintroduced a new version of section 28.

This is the second story in three days The Times has carried arguing against misogyny lessons in schools, which it describes as "some weird feminist attack on male children".

How many different gay people do you need to hear telling you you're wrong about this before you actually listen? Because you can add my name to the list. I was one of the people who took you on for "Gay sex lessons in Scottish schools" in 1999. We won. We will take you on again. We will win.

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton
To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.
She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge.

It seems to me that if you want to abuse children, you don't become trans, you go work in a church and if you want to abuse women you become police.
This seems like the clearest thing in the world to me.
