    That’s fine if there is a viable alternative in your district. If none of them align with this one stance then it’s basically a non-issue.

          And you’re justifying setting back transgender civil rights. There’s a thing called winning the battle and still losing the war, mate

            Transgender civil rights are exactly where they were before if not better off than under the conservatives.

              No, dafuck? Keir did more harm than any other PM in history to trans folks. The most friendly PMs were Cameron and May - who as right-wingers were still going for Self-ID.

              Keir has not only not challenged the ruling that makes it illegal to have trans men and women go to any bathroom and even a violation of the equality act if a trans person makes someone uncomfortable by existing if a business chooses to accommodate them, but is now enforcing it within his own party by desperately trying to score culture war points with people who’ll never vote for him anyway.

              I was a defender of his a few months back but he’s a spineless coward, he should’ve stuck with the WFA cut, kept nationalising and waiting for economic indicators to improve while tackling immigration and then it’s up to fate.
