Have whatever opinion you will about bathrooms, sports, or trans youth, I am not here to debate any of those things. The anti- trans laws being proposed & passed in the States & the UK go well beyond it. There was proposed in Montana that would charge any trans person even if they have had full surgeries with indecent exposure in bathrooms, changing rooms, pools. How they can tell who had what parts originally I don't know. The people leading the charge on these laws do not care about women's safety. They are the same people endangering women's healthcare and advocating for ending no fault divorce. Making it harder for abused women to leave their husbands. Worrying about who comes into the bathroom is the least of my concerns as a woman. Both domestic violence and hate crimes against all kinds of minority groups have soared since the Grand Master of Protecting Women has been elected.

Yeah, I absolutely agree. As all too often happens, the reactionaries and extremists have taken a valid issue and used it as an excuse to attack a group they hate. The fact they could frame it as caring about women’s right (people like Matt Walsh spring to mind) was just a convenient excuse.

Others, and I’m seeing it more and more often, were formerly sane, nuanced adults who have been radicalised by the years of threats and gaslighting.

I really hope sanity can be restored.

Could you fill me in on what is happening in UK? I live there but have not read of any draconian situations.
