I've always thought the majority of people vehemently against it are people who are worried about 'accidentally' being attracted to someone transgender.

It's the same type of person who thinks that because someone is gay, they probably fancy them.

Yep, said this the other day too.

Doth protest too much and all that.

No-one will ever convince (feel free to try) that this right wing, culture war, anti-trans ideology is anything other than pearl clutchers not liking the idea of c**ks in frocks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course it’s that.

They dress it up as them being worried about the kids… these are the same people that voted for kids to live below the poverty line, they don’t give a shiiiiiit.

Regardless, it doesn’t affect them in any way, shape or form.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the casual, consistent equating of trans with s3x pests that is disgusting, as if they're not marginalised enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s not quite a non-issue, but it’s close.

My friends son is transgender and is transitioning from being female. He’s also gay if that makes sense.

I mean that’s got to be awful really, but to them have some pompous right winger with zero life experience sticking their oar in… it’s just daft. Leave them be.

Someone I grew up with transitioned from male to female relatively recently.

Sounds so simple but the reality for her was years of self-loathing, fear of being 'discovered' and what it would mean for her work and life, fear of rejection from her parents and then, when she eventually did then them, actual rejection from her father. Regular bouts of depression and, at the lowest point, a suicide attempt.

She's in a good place now but bloody hell, she's had a rough life. And a large part of the fear and depression is brought about by the attitudes of people she doesn't know and will never know.

Why people feel they have a right to an opinion on someone trying to peacefully live their life, I will never, ever understand.

Maybe we should build up enough of our own deterrent to make them think about any "retaliation"?

If Ukraine had been part of NATO or had nuclear capability do we genuinely think Russia would have crossed the border into someone else's country?

I don't

Yep, like they’ve got a furrrrking clue what they’re on about. They’ll then go find a story that’s a massive outlier, also absolutely nothing to do with them, and go ‘SEE! I TOLD YOU!’

BeIlends are right up there with middle aged white men suddenly getting upset about mythical black Disney characters.

I think it's also in relation to the outdated idea that trans people are tricking and lying to you.

What's funny is they'll have to get used to wrestling with their feelings. With the science advancing all the time and people feeling more socially accepted to transition earlier, there's a lot more passing (for lack of a better word) trans people about than there were 20/30 years ago.

I daresay all of us have walked past a trans person or been in a social setting with a trans person and had absolutely no idea.

Our deterrant is hugely dependant on the US. Trump winning in November is something we should be very afraid of.

And whilst Braverman is busy banging on about doctors mutilating children and how women desperately need to be protected from men masquerading as women in public toilets, police are busy hunting an ostensibly trouser-wearing man who is believed to have murdered three related women with a crossbow in their own home.

As with the argument about protecting kids, if the hard right really wanted to see a concerted effort made to protect women, it would be advocating for a huge investment in law enforcement and supporting services specifically targeted at sexxual and domestic violence, stalking and harassment of women; a 100% reversal in cuts to the courts; and changes in law designed specifically to fast-track prosecutions of raape and domestic violence cases and secure far more convictions.

When women and girls are attacked, physically and sexxually, they are overwhelmingly attacked by spouses, partners, family members, co-workers and people otherwise known to them, and not by random perverts cosplaying as women or trans women in public bathrooms. And we don’t do nearly enough to a) stop the former from happening, b) help women when it does happen, and c) bring perpetrators to justice.

Indeed it is and as a result of us not doing enough with our capabilities to defend ourselves.

Regardless of which, having a proper nuclear deterrent ensures that Russia won’t even think about “vapourising us”.

And if Ukraine had that …..

Of course because you're a genius. If Russia couldn't go into Ukraine they'd have invaded elsewhere eventually.

So do we give everyone in Eastern Europe nuclear weapons? Where will it end?

Always thought the concept of deterrent is utter balls tbh.

Two decent sized nukes means a nuclear winter and the people who launched them would die anyway.

Under-appreciated stat from last week’s election:

Labour won its lowest ever share of the vote in deprived areas (<50% for the first time), and its highest ever share in affluent areas.

The result is a dramatic flattening of the class gradient in Labour support.
