I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Tories gonna lose the next election, media getting with the coming zeitgeist for when everyone votes Labour, I guess?

My guess is that it’s calming down because they know there’s not going to be any significant movement on trans rights.

Labour are going to tinker but not reform, the Tories have run out of legislative runway to change the Equality Act. They know this match will end as a no-score draw, so they’ll save their breath for next time.

The wildcard moment is whether the Scottish Government manage to defend Gender Recognition Reform.

@benofbrown They’ve found a line that keeps the press off their backs, for now. They’ll stick to it.

The only things that might meaningfully change things:

1. Scottish Government defend GRR, and lines soften on self ID in England over time
2. A major win for or against trans rights in court changes the ball game (which paved the way for the Gender Recognition Act in 2004)
3. Hung parliament forcing Labour into coalition
4. Tories lose so badly they even lose the Official Opposition.
