Can confirm. I am lucky to have a lot of trans, enby and other queer friends locally. Scotland hasn't been as bad as England, but it is getting worse here too.

Intolerable and surely unacceptable to a majority of the population. I don't know as it's hard to read from here.

@gz Majority of thew population don't care. Amongst those who do, rampant and visible transphobia is now regarded as a necessary social good and not displaying it is morally suspect.

FFS, what's wrong with these people? I guess there will always be a disgusting minority, let's hope they rapidly diminish in numbers, devoured by their brain-eating hate.

switching on the TV this morning, and almost the first news story was about segregation of trans people in the nhs. "OK, another day to avoid the news". 😡

@MaddieT the UK government seems to be throwing ever more hideous policy statements, hoping one of them lands with their base in an election week.

Deporting asylum seekers, prosecuting the homeless, removing benefits from the long term ill, and of course their perennial favourite, inventing new ways to harm trans people.

@Isabel Ruffell Which kind of makes the next election a no-op. If I thought any party likely to win significant support would moderate him I’d pin meagre hope on that but I can’t see even our “allies” making trans rights a condition of doing business.
in reply to Alexandra Lanes

@Alexandra Lanes @Isabel Ruffell there is not a single political party in the Uk that wouldn’t trade trans rights for a Wispa bar.

I am not joking.

at UK level, probably; in Scotland, it's one reason the govt collapsed. Unfortunately it's unlikely the Scottish Greens will make it to WM this year.

it's been hard. I've got friends who are definitely struggling right now.
Things seem very uncertain is probably the nicest way to say "it's probably going to be more of the same after the election"
