    nothing more than playing around with legislation to try and reverse the progress that has been made over recent decades. it will fail just as all other attempts have, even the Nazi regime could not manage it. we can’t go back to a time when trans people didn’t exist. there never has been one.

      I sure hope you’re right but I am not so certain.

      This throws the equality act into all kinds of issues. There will need to be a rewrite. Eventually when that rewrite happens it will occur with a misogynistic homophobic hate group funded by friend-to-nazis JK Rowling currently holding the ear of government.

        I’ll be bad, but remember that not too long ago there were laws criminalising homosexuality (and often trans people got caught in the crossfire.) I know a few old butch lesbian types who would pretend to be gay cis men so the others could escape during a raid since the laws didn’t effect them as much.
