A society that cares for its disabled citizens *and* offers assisted dying is close to the enlightenment.
A society that does *not* care for its disabled citizens and offers assisted dying is fully fascist.
If you are unaware of how the UK has treated us, look it up.
Fascism loves complacency.

I wonder if Peggie, who has the example before her of JKR - who took overwhelming national acclaim and turned it into shit - will realise that she - at best, a national irritant - can only become a horrendous pariah, attending functions with Forstater and the like, pretending that they are happy.

The intent of all of this is increasingly clear - it is to hound not only every trans person out of public life, but force every person who is not explicitly anti-trans either out of employment or into silence.

Fellow Greens, what needs to change so that transphobes can be barred from the party for life? I don't like these shitty little suspensions. Transphobes have plenty of parties, they're not being materially disadvantaged (cough) by expulsion

Funny that the Chancellor lied about the scale of the 'black hole' to justify both welfare cuts and attacks on immigrants, but we're supposed to be upset when she lied to justify a tiny percentage tax on £2m mansions.
