Big proponent for killing all cis men. token trotskyite.
The BBC has rightfully criticised russian state owned media in the past for doing similar things but now its doing the same
A good book I liked about it was Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg, available here in pdf form: https://transreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/2021-12-29_61cca107e2f6b_leslie-feinberg-trans-liberation-beyond-pink-or-blue.pdf
It was written in the 90s so some of the terms are sort of dated but it holds true with what a lot of the modern trans experience continues to be
a new political office who’s sole purpose is to determine if trans people should have rights or not.
We already have that smh: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_for_Women_and_Equalities
A Council of Europe report[6][7] in September 2021 criticised the Minister for Equalities, stating that rhetoric from the minister is in contradiction with international human rights standards and has contributed to a sharp increase in transphobic crimes since 2015.
They’re basically reassuring her that they’re still transphobic enough for her to support after she went against them to endorse the Communist Party of Britain because one of their candidates put out a really transphobic statement for their election (but then CPB disavowed their member’s statement in a really limp wristed way to try and maintain the facade that they’re still the social centrists in between the former party RFB and CPGB-ML so she took back her endorsement)
This comm looks like it’ll be cool I’m laughably bad at stuff like this so it’d help
Knowing how transphobic Streeting is the “simplification” of the process will probably be banning it all together
Also how labour is literally getting policy advice from JK Rowling: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/labour-jk-rowling-rachel-reeves-labour-party-douglas-ross-b2567853.html
iirc from growing up in a church school and all the Bible study bits I did growing up, there’s a bit in the bible where jesus says that if someone tries to kidnap and enslave someone they should pay a fine to the parents in addition to the punishment they’d receive from the law which some people twist around into trying to imply that jesus was saying kidnapping and enslaving people is ok as long as you pay a fine to the parents.
They’re making fun of how Brexit was pushed on a platform of getting rid of overstrict EU regulations and bureaucracy (as well as a lot of overt racism) but it turned out a load of it was just homegrown British bureaucracy that had nothing to do with the EU but UKIP voters kept complaining that anything they didn’t like about Britain was the fault of the EU anyway
What’s the point in memes where it’s putting something that’s just uncontroversially true and not really that complex of an idea next to a twink wojack
Edit: just read the comments smh. My bad OP you’re entirely in the right for this, apparently the basic idea that the dominant ideology reproduces itself is too complicated for people to get, also someone calling you a tankie for this lol
