What I find shocking is not the amount of transphobia per se (unfortunately that is common the world over) but just how pervasive it is across all facets of UK society including progressive newspapers, academia and the friggin Green Party.
@echodot I don’t know about the US. But the UK seems to have terfs where I wouldn’t expect them, like the Green Party or Guardian columnists, and they’re also quite brigade-y.
Why do they have so many terfs there anyway? Is it something in the water?

@vzq maybe that’s what makes it so noticeable. I’ve seen UK terfs brigade New Zealand twitter, news site comments etc on trans issues.
This has momsnet written all over it.
Prosecco Stormfront at it again.
It’s just the right wing idiots in general, it’s not like the US

You know I can see the reply right, you don’t need to at me about it.
@echodot kbin autopopulates the ats, I guess because it is useful for mastodon who we also federate with.
Sometimes I leave it in because threading is still a bit dicey so it helps me keep track of who I’m talking to, can stop if it bugs you though.
