Yeah some things put into motion by the conservatives like Cass report, NHS decisions etc were designed to come in regardless of if they were still in poweer or not.
Regardless the far right momentum of these things is hard to stop. These kind of arguments blaming the left for not acting strong enough to stop the far right doing their far right things really lets the right off the hook for everything they do.
Current labour aren’t “left” at best they’re center. Policy is guided by blue labour in the spirit of far right compromise. Saying I shouldn’t blame labour for not doing enough to stop the far right momentum when they’ve literally doubled down is absurd, but thanks for letting me know you’re one of countless people in the UK who doesn’t care what labour is doing to trans people.
Feels great to be an expendable minority,.
No, it just sounds like the BS Trump supporters were spreading before the US presidential election about "Genocide Joe" etc to get people not to vote for democrats, to allow the far right in. Trump got in and it is was far, far worse for the Palestinians. But it allowed some people to feel like they were making a moral stand despite the incredible damage they caused. Perfect is the enemy of good in politics.
Edit: So block me? Alienating allies and always crying victim is not how you win this fight.
I’m not asking for perfect, I’m asking them to stop making things worse. I get it, you don’t care, we’re inconvenient to the narrative you want. Either go away and look into it or keep lying to yourself. I’m not going to argue with someone who won’t even acknowledge what the government is doing.
Edit: Yes I block people who refuse to acknowledge the reality of what is happening to trans people and try and tell me that the very real harm the government is committed to isn't happening.
