This raises the worrying prospect that overwhelming media power in Britain could be concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of very wealthy, extremely nasty and very right wing crackpots who will use it for malignant ends

For how many years/decades/centuries have women been fighting not to be reduced to our hair, tits and clothes?
Well done everybody. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

One of the less insane responses, if you say the EHRC toilet police guidance is slapstick authoritarian lunacy. I again urge you to note that the reactionary world’s meltdown over sexually threatening minorities precisely overlaps with their leaders being exposed as arse grabbers and sex criminals.

I hope you meet patriarchal standards of how a "man" or a "woman" is supposed to look or you too could be banned from public facilities.
This is "feminism" apparently.

You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance

“Under the new guidance, places such as hospital wards, gyms and leisure centres will reportedly be able to question transgender women over whether they should be using single-sex services based on how they look, their behaviour or concerns raised by others.”

Fundamentally the anti trans movement has radicalised very, very quickly. Driven by support from friendly media and political outlets, they've forgotten that the majority of the public don't really care. But overt cruelty and discrimination does cut through, has cut through. 10/x

I read a BBC article which said something along the lines of "Trans people can be questioned on their gender" That's not true! Nobody will be above suspicion.
Gender Critical have reversed women's rights back decades. A woman who dresses "too masculine" may face being barred from single-sex female spaces.
We warned you.

anti immigrant sentiment needs to be seen as an existential threat to liberal democracies and liberal parties and more importantly responded to as such.

Quick question: what the fuck is wrong with everyone?
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

A key figure in US politics that I think a lot of European observers obsessed with MAGA voters haven't really got their heads around is your average boring middle class suburban voter who in the face of incomprehensible reactionary chaos hankers after a Normie Revolution.
