"No meaningful understanding of gender identity" she says, whilst force-feeding a child cisnormativity like a fois gras goose.
Duffield is an absolute shit, one who's too thick, and whose hatred is too immediate, to be able to conceal their bigotry under a respectable veneer. That she's no longer an outright pariah in the party says it all really.

It's fucking insane that being "pro" whatever, in that just being accepting of and understanding is being framed as anti anything else. You can just let other people live their lives how they want without it being against how you want to live yours and celebrate both. Kids being happy and aware that their friends and family can be themselves isn't going to do anything other re-enforce their belief that they live in an understanding society. That flag is purposely as inclusive AF.

Not usually a double poster but this is abhorrent.

Impossible to read this and not see bigotry and hate speech. many gay users here are old enough to remember this same line being used to silence them as children, to force them through childhoods of repression and bullying. Maybe even leave them locked in abusive situations at home with no way to talk about it to guardians and teachers.
To see a politician, a labour one no less, so bold to say this stuff with a full chest. Shows how much the window has shifted with the labour government supporting restrictions on healthcare driven by the ideological stance in Rosie’s tweet. Not by science, not by experts, not by data, but by a 2020 version of Anita Bryant and her gay fears.
Wesley will talk about “stopping conversion therapy for trans people” in the kings speech today. But he’s also gone on record to support the cass review which argues, amongst other things, for talking therapy and alternative exploration on top of the existing barriers and waiting times for trans children, but also reviewed for the 18-25’s. His party also normalises, hateful, backwards views above which they themselves are conversation therapy rhetoric. The leader, Keir himself, has gone on record to say kids cannot know they’re gay, that trans women are not women or “a secret third thing”. All of this is conversion therapy, denialism that trans people are people, women, men, non binary. It’s impossible to reconcile their rhetoric about conversion therapy, while seeing their actions. It’s not different from the conservatives lip service to “fixing the issue” while looting and abusing in actions.
if this doesn’t highlight where the “debate” is centred around, I’m not sure what will.
