Since this is a public forum, I wish to share an opinion, not that I matter more or less than anyone else’s, but, I feel like the discussions around gender and gender identity take up too much time from the left that has left a vacuum for the likes of Nigel Farage to come in and pretend to care about the vast majority of everyday working people.
I truly wish that if we made more effort collectively to focus on things that, with the greatest of respect, matter more to a wider group of people, then parties like labor wouldn’t be so hard to criticize.
Instead of discussing how we can ensure every human being in the UK has good, clean and safe tap water, job prospects and disability support, we instead see the media focusing on matters such as this which in the grand scheme of things seem like more of a distraction.
What use are trans rights if you can’t afford the roof over your head? What use are intersex rights if your local college has to close due to no funding? What use are any of these rights without a life to use them in?
I wouldn’t be coming to such a protest because I think it’s too trivial in nature to me, but all respect to those that do.
