As always its an oversimplification and there was always a lot of transphobia in the UK, but imo those are the main drivers. The country was forced to adopt gender recognition by the EHCR in 2004 or so iirc, so always behind others.

Anti-trans ideology captured the elite in the UK, as they are particularly homogenous, go to the same private schools & universities. Pushed by US money, then Russian - culture war has been pursued by RU since 2014.

Economic downturn aggravates fear of loss of status - pushes far right beliefs.

So what? Billionaires and their money have shifted the public against trans people having any rights in the UK. That doesn't make that either right, or a voting issue for any beyond a handful of extremely online bigots.

is "trolls" some kind of code for trans people now lmao, what are you talking about

You may not have learned this in school, but countries other than the USA exist

they could even still have access to private jets and superyachts! they would just need to pool money and timeshare...

tbf hazbin would probably be quite fun to watch on ketamine

you have eternity to invent therapy and then persuade them to go

hypnogogic stuff! cool but unsettling.

A Labour MP called Reform's Anne Widdicome "woke" for not being anti-trans enough recently. The Labour movement and the agenda of this government are very different.
