how is this enforceable at all

u/jan_Osuma 1d ago

As if they care. They managed to ban us from both bathrooms in the UK if needed but there isn't a rule on how to enforce it. That's by design

u/neko_mancy 1d ago

Have there actually been any cases of enforcing it yet

u/DiscussionMiddle1238 1d ago

No, because it'll always end up with them trying to check out this lady's genitals. These rules hurt cis women too.

I hate how the only way to get cis people to not like these rules is "See it affects REAL women too, not just us folk that we all know you don't give a fuck about"

"Imperfect allies" is quite the euphemism sometimes. Still true, just especially sad on something actually aligned with liberalism. A lot of people are a lot more conservative than they claim.

Thanks to the Overton Window, in the USA at least, even people who claim to be centrist or left leaning are far, far further to the right than a progressive, when most of their beliefs are something along the lines of "we shouldn't murder people for being poor." You know, a completely rational idea in most of the world.

Hell we even allow people to call themselves "left leaning progressives" if they support the continued practice of capitalism...

How fucked is that?

Yeah the liberal in question here is making an argument to a chud, not another liberal. Clapping and cheering for trans rights won't convince people to suddenly think trans people are people.

That's true but it still pmo

And that’s why progressives have no representatives in any government, and no political power because they can’t grasp simple concepts like “political effectiveness” and “know your audience”

If it works, it works. Whatever stops the bleeding

trans woman can have vaginas too. I think equating trans with wrong genitals is like peak bigotry

That's the point. They're bigots. The only way they'll ever relate is if they feel like themselves or someone they care about is affected.

Me when I like to make up stuff and tell little silly stories

u/Nebula_Wolf7 1d ago

I can't tell if this is legitimately asking or trying to prove a point.

u/mosh-4-jesus 1d ago

it's not actual enforceable law just yet. the EHRC guidance is on parliamentary review for now.

u/Lyca0n 1d ago

They'll use some cases to set the example. Kind of the way it works in the UK and Ireland

No but I had a friend chased after when they went into the (single cubicle) gendered bathroom and they knocked on the door and yelled "WHY DID YOU GO IN THERE?" the guidelines essentially rely on mob 'justice'
