You'll rack up enormous parking charges Conflictedunicorn😁

I’ve got cake and free time. I’m sure Janet will come along soon to lecture us. They can’t be doing with women having opinions can they. For my part, this is fab news and the fact the usual suspects are seething makes me hopeful.

Can I park up too😀

Want some cake @SallyLockheart ?

@Conflictedunicorn ooh, yes please. Shall I put the kettle on too as we could be a while?

<reverse parks beautifully into the space>
<rolls down window>
<lights cigarette>

And now we wait.

What rights don't transwomen have?
The right to shit on women's rights I'm guessing. But they can't say that out loud so they'll just bleat about trans rights are human rights.

Tea two sugars pleas. Chocolate cake?

So well put @RhannionKPSS

Is it too early for wine while we wait? Although we may well be absolutely batfaced by the time we get an answer

I’m up for wine!

Wine and nibbles, adjusted cushions, feet up, I'm ready.

Need to pace myself. Starting with a cup of tea but I'll probably be having a G&T later.

I'm going a G+ T and some of those spicy Japanese Rice crackers. I'll hand round one of those big boxes of Malteasers with the teary-off insert.

(Point of interest, I have just become aware that Malteasers now do Dark Chocolate 30% less sugar ones. Actually rather tasty!)

Im sure Janet will come along soon to lecture us. They can’t be doing with women having opinions can they
😂 What a load of crap 😁 I'm a woman with an opinion myself, that doesn't fit your narrative though, does it

So @GoodJanetBadJanet whats your opinion on which rights transpeople are worried about losing? What rights do transpeople not have that every other person of their sex has?

Oooh nice!!! They sound fab. Might have to go and search for those.

Did someone say Malteesers in the teary offy thingy box? Ooooh don't mind if I do. I have pringles in various flavours.

Just not the Prawn Cracker Pringles. I love Prawn Cracker flavour crisps generally but the Pringle ones are proper gak.

And your opinion on what rights trans people don't have, what rights they fear being curtailed is?

I know we're all having the craic here but I genuinely want to know what rights trans people don't have in the UK.

@GoodJanetBadJanet i also can’t wait to hear what rights trans people don’t have that I do have. It is not a right for someone to use opposite sex spaces etc.
I would say at my place of work a trans person is far more protected than I am or than a member of the LGB community.
No doubt GJBJ can soon prove me wrong. I await the response.

It just seems like an attempt to pull away from what I actually said, which is why how would us pulling out of the European Courts of Human Rights be a good thing?
Instead of actually responding to that (and other posters have said hang on, wait, what, can you explain how that would be helpful?) it's tumbleweed, and a "hmm, now let's all sit down and discuss what rights are what, what are they and how are they being taken away?" back to the beginning, start again and pretend that wasn't asked.
You realise it could be your rights one of these days if you're lesbian, gay, or bi?
Plenty of people would want to discuss whether you have enough of those, or too much.
That'd be ok, though, right?
Seeing as no-one seems to have a problem with it to be ignoring it?

But you said:

"Would seem like such a stupid thing to do, just to curtail rights of a group you don't agree with!
What if they came after your rights next, whether it be if you're lesbian, gay or bi?
Or is it just ok to do that to trans people?;"

So we are asking what specific rights you are talking about? It was you who raised the question of rights being "curtailed" and people coming "after" their rights.
What rights are we talking about?

Just for clarity.

Yes, I know that's what you're asking - did you actually read my post?!
