The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

We all deserve to live authentically, without compromise, but we know from our services that public life is becoming less safe for trans+ people in the UK

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.
If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

This is yet more genocidal mayhem armed and facilitated by the West.

"Let me explain my Nazi tattoo" is not something I want to hear from a Democratic Senate candidate. We can raise the bar higher than that. Also, I'm all for angry mavericks running for Senate, but with that personality type, "Is he a future Fetterman?" is a legitimate question.

all of these people would do well to learn something about “cheap” and “costly” grace. no one is saying that platner is irredeemable, but that some things are a bridge too far for someone seeking a public trust. if he feels truly contrite, he can work on himself and his community and try again.
