General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Their goal has always been the total non-existence of trans people. They don't actually care about whether it's the right choice for someone or not, they simply do not want it to happen at all.

I do wish downvoters were public so I could block the 4 fuckers who downvoted this, yet said nothing. I guess those types only like public discourse when the platform is rigged for them, and this ain't X.

To add to my point: they will use any and all means to achieve that goal whether it's playing for optics by finding horror stories or convenient grifters to exploit or simply parading ugly looking trans people in the papers to trigger fear in some cis people with particularly feeble minds, or spreading this eliminationist rhetoric once they got enough credibility with the public after millions of dollars spent on non-stop daily alarmist bullshit.
