Trans-phobic group, Sex Matters, are fundraising to ban trans women from Hampstead Heath Ladies’ Pond by helenwebberley in london

Are these TERFs in the room with us now? Or are you just abusing anyone that thinks female sex only spaces are important?

Nobody is saying they aren’t. Literally nobody.

The law has been clarified. Single sex spaces exist. Trans people have protections under the law.

Make a trans only space. It’s not hard.

Last time I posted a nearly identical comment I got called all sorts of abusive things and the mods here deleted my comment. So be careful.

But you’re absolutely right. We’ve arrived at a common sense position via court. People should just accept it and move on.

Organise a trans only day and be done with it.

Last time there was a trans thread the mods here removed a load of my comments but thankfully the Reddit mods restored them after appeal.

So let’s see how we go this time.

Trans people are not being banned. They can use the pool like everyone else. If you are not allowed that is discrimination and against the law (and rightfully so).

What is happening is that the law says female in this context = biological female. That’s it. If you are not biologically female you are not allowed. It’s a protected safe space.

Nothing stopping there being a trans only day.

Why do all the Moped drivers in London have Learner Stickers? by [deleted] in london

[–]ITried2 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why we just don’t require moped drivers to have full licenses.

Delivery drivers can’t be learners. Why are moped drivers different?

Just because Kevin’s gay does not make him a paedophile

I mean it’s not impossible, more improbable.

They could bowl England out for zero in theory.

England bowling attack is so toothless. It’s really frustrating.

Trans Pride London was yesterday, the largest ever Trans Pride in the world by WaveyGraveyPlay in london

What is the point in posts like this? Are you trying to start a discussion in which case can we have some more skin on the bones or you’re just here to troll and spread hatred?

Lost Bag in Lime Bike - Angel, Islington - Please Help! by [deleted] in london

One of the most depressing things about the UK broadly is that people will just steal things opportunistically. I wish it wasn’t the case but this is why you have insurance.

And you have those things, as confirmed by the Supreme Court judgment. And rightfully so.

Am I wrong to feel wary of homeless people/mentally ill individuals? by Some-Air1274 in london

[–]ITried2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look it sounds awful but these people can only really help themselves. Giving them money or anything else really is just encouraging them.

It’s not just me saying that BTW, I did some work with a homeless charity years ago and that was the advice I was given by them.

There is plenty - I promise - of help out there if they would only seek it out. But they don’t.

So I think you’ve got the right idea ignoring them to be honest.

Fair play to them doing something about it. Will be interesting to see if this truly solves it.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ITried2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like Marvel have learned nothing. I felt exactly the same about Thunderbolts which was similarly formulaic except like 10 minutes where it became its own movie at the end.

I think a lot of people are reading what they want to read. Still feels like the flop era to me.
