The UK may be slowly turning in the right direction but the ferocity displayed in this article tells me that we're going to have a long battle ahead.

I genuinely thought it was more complicated than that Mimi.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_States

That discrimination due to sexuality and gender ID was not universally protected.

I am very much in support of people living the way they want. I understand this argument though and it's a tough call. Boys who were born male as they grow are generally stronger than women so if they join a girls sport they have an unfair advantage because they're more powerful and different ways. And the older they get the more intense it gets.

I am in the U.S. and it is illegal in all states to discriminate against a person for sex/gender. I am sure it is done a lot of places, businesses just better hope it can't be proven that it's discrimination.

I think looking to USA while interesting is generally not helpful.

Different states have different laws etc there is no equality act type thing universally. You can in some states be not hired etc cos gay. And that context is important. Due to LGBT+ being joined. Impact on one part can be relevant much more widely.

There's also the whole Christian republican no abortion, strict gender roles etc. The reasons for banning this or that are very different.

So for me. There's plenty gone on/ going on here that's really bad and we know the full context etc. No need to look to USA where it's a whole different everything.
