The Sick Reason The Right Is Obsessed With Trans People
In October 2024, nearly half of Trump’s campaign ad spending went to anti-trans messaging. Not inflation, not healthcare, not immigration. Trans people. A community that makes up less than 1% of the U.S. population. Think about that. With the economy in crisis, housing costs skyrocketing, and health

It’s worth noting that the way the EHRC is insisting all innocent trans people be treated might be considered unlawful if it were applied in the same way even to convicted sex offenders. This was never about safety, because there’s zero evidence that trans people make anybody unsafe. /

Worth noting the EHRC guidance goes further than the Supreme Court ruling. If implemented in its fullest it will ensure trans and non-binary individuals are excluded from socialising, work, school, basically being allowed to be in public for any periods of time.

Switzerland also abolished short prison sentences. When you come out after a few months, you’ve probably lost your job, your partner, your family, your home. No surprise that reoffending rates are high. They are replaced with suspended sentences/fines.
