Liz Truss bill would ban trans women from women’s spaces

  1. Liz Truss couldn’t pass bills when she was PM. Don’t think there’s any danger of this one getting anywhere close to legislation.

  2. Do the people she’s playing to in the US not realise she was a failure who will never get near power again?

    I mean I get they all support Trump still but he at least was president for four years.

  3. I mean Liz Truss is completely delusional about pretty much everything, so this is probably just her describing a cheese dream she had or something.

  4. I wonder how much she’s being paid to stoke culture war bullshit, now?

    The right really wants to Americanise our political culture and turn people against each other to an even greater extent.

  5. The people of South West Norfolk have a lot to answer for. Either that or the alternatives at the ballot box were even more insane.

  6. Banging on about this rubbish again, why don’t we have the option of a shared changing area and a private one, choose whatever you fancy and be happy. Also, Liz Truss will say anything that’s been written down for her without an ounce of thought, who cares what it is anymore?

  7. I have a good friend who’s trans F to M. He is currently on a bodybuilding journey and he’s ripped. He has a beard, cropped hair and is fairly heavily tattooed. I assume under this law he will be required to use the women’s facilities at the gym?

  8. Do you have what it takes to see if other people have what it takes to take a piss in here?

    Then you could have a career with the:

    🚨GENITAL INSPECTORS🚨

  9. How will she know definitively if someone is trans or not, I thought up skirting was illegal now!! The Tories are obsessed with trans people it’s really quite creepy

  10. Stop paying this boring skin sack any attention, let her wither like the weed she is. She’s demonstrated her incompetence conclusively, there is nothing to be gained from giving her any more energy. She can go get a comfy job as an empty skull in some right wing think tank, playing political bingo in the metaphorical retirement home with others like her

  11. Truss isn’t even an individual person, she is a walking mouthpiece to American funded right wing ‘think tanks’. She says what they tell her to say, the other week it was vote trump this week it’s ban trans

  12. The UK desperately needs legislation to delegitimise disgraced politicians like Truss. It would at least incentivise politicians to actually do honest, useful, constructive and thoughtful actions rather than sprout nonsense to stoke unnecessary conflict and think they can get away with it.

    She is allowed an opinion, but at least back them up with studies or reasoning. We all know she can’t, like she couldn’t back up her disastrous term as Prime Minister (which is still weird to say).

    In the words of the Liz the Lower than Lettuce Truss, *it is a disgrace* that she gets a healthy income despite her short term as Prime Minister and her disastrous budget. *It is a disgrace* that she can have an honours list inserting allies into the House of Lords. *It is a disgrace* she thinks she’s got an authoritative opinion despite being shamed out of office. *It is a disgrace* she’s spouting far right ideologies with zero reasoning, and *it is a disgrace* she supports and speaks on far right platforms supporting the views of people like Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Lee).

  13. Could we table a bill to ban Liz Truss from all spaces?

  14. If this law came into power the only logical conclusion is that every Women’s only space would need to hire a security guard that would be required to check everyone’s genitals prior to entering. It’s completely unenforceable.

  15. Just remember to register to vote.

    Make sure you vote out every single tory bit of garbage out of every ward.

    Toryism is a mental illness.

  16. Christ we don’t need this imported culture war. Can she just… Fuck off? She’s not relevant.

  17. Get tickets to see Taylor Swift

    Insist only men get to use the gents toilet despite the huge queues for the ladies.

    Stoke culture war/sue government over male only spaces

    Or get a grip and let folk piss and shit in peace

  18. After zero proof of the kind of slew of crimes she fearmongers about for the 20 years for which this legal right has been made explicitly available to trans people, who are, as we know, a tiny minority of people in any case.

    Meanwhile under this government we have rape gangs of straight men none of whom pretends for a second to be a woman and all manner of other sex crimes, rapes, paedophiles etc. to the extent that they make up [over 12,000 criminals currently imprisoned](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2019/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2019-and-annual-2019) as of 2020 – and that’s just the ones that were prosecuted.

    E: Interestingly, found [the 2023 stats which go into a bit more detail](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/offender-management-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2023) and split it out into a few reports.

    I found it striking to see, considering the hysteria over trans women committing sexual offences, that going by the ‘Prison population: 31 December 2023′ file, in each quarter of the last year between 3 and 7 (non trans) women were imprisoned for sexual crimes, except December 2023 which had only 1. 19 in total for the year 2023 alone.

    Now, call me crazy, but I don’t recall despite the sustained efforts of the media and prominent anti-transgender activists’ efforts to comb every possible case and make sure every possible instance got maximum media attention, 19 separate trans women sexual offence cases in the UK being talked about, which would be comparable to the general stat for women. I remember one. I don’t remember huge coverage of each of the thousands and thousands of sexual assaults committed by men either, or of *any* of the cases of the assaults these 19 women took part in being trumpeted from the rooftops either. I feel like the average person would come away with a much different perspective that trans women are disproportionately dangerous if they knew some of the real statistics.

  19. The most alarming bit IMO is the bit about regulating social transitioning practices in schools, because that probably translates to requiring teachers to out LGBTQ students to their parents. Doubleplusungood.

  20. Absolutely disgraceful. We thought we were shot of this ghoul but she continues drifting around like a bad smell.

  21. Are we sure she isn’t being paid by Russia to stoke up division at this stage?
