- voidUpdate 8mo agoI'm trans. I live in the UK. I know it's not as bad as some middle eastern countries, but I'm still being actively legislated against
- berrycan 8mo agoDo you mean the Supreme Court case last year? I thought that just covered interpretation of equalities law for single-sex exemptions, not actively legislating against anyone.

- jjav 8mo ago> Your entire existence? That sounds kind of hyperbolic In the USA today (and many other places, but I'm in the US), anyone of any kind of minority is the target of beatings, kidnappings and possibly public executions by the government right now. Not exactly something you can ignore.
- bigstrat2003 8mo agoThat is not remotely true. We can have a discussion about the government's excesses, but in no way is everyone of all minorities subject to such things. The vast majority of people in the US, minority or otherwise, are living their lives peacefully without any sort of threat hanging over them.
