Apparently the Tory press is going to lead with their desire to remove all equality protection in law for trans people.

Ineptly because, it turns out, they don’t understand equalities legislation.

And also they’re going to get annihilated so they can’t do it anyway.

But it seems this is now accepted political discourse in the UK, and I would like one, just one opposition party to have the balls to say in response, “you are terrorising trans people and you need to stop”.

But they won’t, because all parties in the UK (yes, all of them) have quite a few people who actually agree with the Tories on this, and it’s more important to avoid upsetting these people than it is to take a stand and say that what amounts to state sponsored terrorism against a minority of your population who just want to live in peace is wrong.
