BBC News website: UK Pride groups suspend involvement of political parties

[Chersfrozenface]

Isn't that a jolly good way of making themselves irrelevant and losing influence?

You know, what with political parties providing the bods who actually make the laws?

In which case, way to go, lads.

So it should read:

"For Women Scotland complained that ministers had included transgender women (biological men) as part of the quotas in that law."

I wonder if FWS can ask for that to be corrected? Otherwise they could be accused of discrimination 😲

Thank you Pride for helpfully demonstrating that there is absolutely no reasoning with TQ+ activists. Nothing less than full capitulation to all demands will do. The batshit gender woo Greens and fawning Lib Dems get the same short shrift as everyone else.

When people who haven't been paying attention and think we all need to meet in the middle and reach consensus come and explain to us that both sides are extreme and they're sure we can find a compromise, you are what we will point out to. So thanks so providing such a nice example of what we're talking about.

There's a propaganda technique that has been talked about a lot in the media in the last few years.

Its about trying to inflate the level of support you look like you have to create more of a bandwagon effect.

The example thats been really well publicised, is the size of Trump's crowds.

They are doing the same thing here.

How many Prides do we have now - thinking of the general one and the trans one?

Because they're all now for the same single group. There's no diversity of any kind. They don't need two.

And politicians throughout the land breathed a sigh of relief and hung up their ballgags and leather harnesses for ever.

Actually, I just realised how ludicrous that joke sounds.

It's come to something when Pride has managed to make politicians look like a bunch of clean living exemplars.

Still waiting to hear what 'trans rights’ actually are. The rights to do and say whatever you want, wherever you want and whenever you want and be bankrolled by the state?
I don’t remember any laws being passed to this effect.

It's bloody tragic. It took LGB people decades to get people to see them as being like anyone else instead of sexually deviant. But now Pride's declared against the SC, that's homosexuals and women with trans identities bounced too, as they were two of the three groups the SC were protecting the rights of. You'd think Pride would be celebrating that. There isn't much left in that emptied out shell but largely straight men.
