I am excited to see the Tories get obliterated today but I would be significantly more excited if Labour hadn’t made a hard turn into TERFdom
the trans people of the UK deserve so much better
Looking at the detailed results this wasn't really a win for Labour either.
In most constituency they took from the Tories it was more down to the Reform Party (far right nationalists who were behind Brexit) who stole enough votes from the Tories to hand the election to Labour.
It's always interesting to me how the lack of a religious right has made transphobia a wedge issue for both parties instead of just slotting into existing polarization like has mostly happened in america.
Why the fuck is anyone serious actually going to Joanne for policy advice over you know actual trans people and medical experts
or even David Tennant.
YOU FUCKED WITH THE DOCTOR. YOU NEVER FUCK WITH THE DOCTOR.
100% this. Labour have ruined this by being nothing at all to celebrate. All I can hope for is an absolute evisceration of the Tories because I'm not getting my dopamine anywhere else!
I'm terrified that if Trump wins that the dems will make a similar shift.
Sure elections won't matter but that filters down and means less people helping some of us to survive
Im hoping they did the despicable thing of giving in rhetorically to not lose votes before. A labour super majority could be a force for good.
Let the terfs feel betrayed. We got bigger fish to fry.
I admit I was a little surprised that TERF ideology got so popular so quickly there then jumped across the sea like fire over a freeway to spread here
Foolish of me I guess
