Conservatives: We want a small government that doesn’t impede on people’s individual freedom
Trans people (<1% of the pop): So we can make our own decisions about our body?
Conservatives: Don’t be silly we tell you what to do.

This culture war is real as evidenced with a dramatic decline in support of the trans community in just four years.
The campaign for fairness and equality continues.

Deeply saddened to see today's British Social Attitudes Survey shows such a marked decline in positive attitudes to trans people. In 2019 82% of us said we "weren't prejudiced at all" towards trans people - now just 64% of us feel we can say the same. 1/5

On the issue of self-identification, Keir Starmer said ‘you have to carry the public with you’.

“protecting trans people… from extradition, investigation and aiding refugees.”
Let that sink in. One of the most important countries on the planet that prides itself on ‘freedom’ has transgender refugees.
Sanctuary states are needed to save lives in 2023.
Let that sink in.
Maryland has been declared a trans sanctuary state.
Gov. Wes Moore signed an order protecting trans people and providers from extradition, investigation, and aiding refugees.
Maryland is now one of the safest states.

“Mental health culture”. That’s a funny way of saying ‘over the past 14 years we’ve destroyed the welfare state and the entire idea of society thus ruining your access to proper mental health care.’
But let’s not fix it. Let’s blame people who struggle with ill mental health 🤔
Fantastic example of how stigma surrounding mental illness remains alive and well today.

First they targeted migrants, then they targeted trans people and now they target judges. Are you still going to say nothing?
We are a reasonable country, but our patience has now run out.
Our Parliament is sovereign, and it should be able to make decisions that cannot be undone in our courts.

So now they are Holocaust deniers. Don’t let those in power pick and choose history. If we let them deny aspects of history they don’t agree with then just wait until they start denying you your rights.
