The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.
Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.
'Tylenol' is known in the civilised world as Paracetamol
2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019. Studied 186,000 children whose mothers were treated with paracetamol during pregnancy.

Recognition is no doubt significant but it will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel's genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people.

Isaac Herzog is named directly in the UN report which states clearly that Israel is committing genocide - he is named as one of the figures inciting genocide. Last week Keir Starmer felt it was fit to roll our the red carpet for Herzog on in a visit to Britain.

The targeted killing of Anas al-Sharif and five other journalists on Sunday means at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of October 2023.
No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed.

Interesting thing about positive and humane asylum policies isn't just that they are more effective, but they are also cheaper, and in some cases revenue enhancing, meaning you are able to actually invest in other areas to help more people. 1/
Labour has a large enough majority that it could be implementing policies which would make a difference:
✅Making is safer and simpler for people to seek asylum to reduce their need to use irregular routes
✅Providing people seeking asylum with automatic right to work to reduce labour exploitation 9/
