    It’s non competitive, no? So no “unfair advantage”? What’s the excuse now?

      It was never about fairness.

        Correct, it’s about shutting transgender people out from society so it’s easier for the public to accept their persecution.

          Transphobes want to kick out trans people from every faucet of life putting them a greater risk of leaving us, we cannot allow that to happen.

        It’s not even really about trans people, as Robert Galbraith repeatedly proves.

            JK Rowling published a book under the name Robert Galbraith - the name of a conversion therapy nutjob:

              Not A book, a whole series of them, and not even doing “oh gosh, what a coincidence, thats terrible” when the connection was revealed. She just ploughed on using it and releasing new books under that name.

              Oh and one of them was about a trans serial killer, so, you know.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
