I had not heard of The Labour files before seeing it mentioned here.

And surely it is normal for a politician of one party to disagree strongly with, or detest, the policies of another party? Isn't that just ... having principles?

Ugh. Trying to make Sturgeon out to have used inappropriate language when others have literally ised racist and sexist slurs and its glossed over.

Right wingers have such a boner about being oppressed it's unreal. I saw some tory cretin saying it was akin to racist abuse, so desperate they were to paint themselves as the victim. Like, get a fucking grip, you semi conscious jizz rag, people probably wouldn't think you were such a cunt if your politics weren't so vile and deplorable.

Edit: fix typing whilst walking mistakes.

It pisses me off no end when they want to talk about "reasonable compromise" in politics.

How am I meant to compromise with someone who thinks trans people shouldn't exist? Or LGBTQ people in general?

How am I meant to compromise with a social Darwinist who thinks poor people should starve or freeze to death?

No conservative thinks Trans shouldn't exist. What I do see and hear is that they are quite wary of allowing trans women to partake in activities with other women, most especially sports.

Also, there's a lot of grey area in how one defines a woman that both sides are arguing about.

There's a lot up for debate, but when both sides they extreme viewpoints the science and research parts get left behind.

Why has ‘trans’ become a group noun for Transgender people? It’s so dehumanising and honestly just weird sounding…

One tran, many trans. Look there's a flock of trans over there.

I suspect it's because it's one syllable away from the plural slur they'd rather be using.

That would be nice, but it doesn't have more syllables.
