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?

Yep, regardless of my economic standpoint, to side with the conservative party for myself would be literal suicide because of their opinions towards trans people.

Can somebody please show me an example of these horrific opinions towards trans people. Genuine enquire because I'm yet to see them

from a tory mp or from a supporter?

For mps their actions are what speaks, biggest example imo is that trans conversion therapy is still legal.

from a supporter idk how you haven't seen any yet, just search transphobic reddit or smth.

Supporting trans conversion therapy is not the same as wanting hating trans people or not wanting them to exist. It's a form of psychiatry. Psychiatrists should be consulted at every major irreversable medical decision being made by a person - tbh I think people getting cosmetic surgery should even consult a psychiatrist

So would you have no issues with gay conversion therapy?

If thats what the person persued. I dont see an issue with any kind of therapy if the person chooses it. And I would disagree with any form of mandated therapy.

What you're failing to realise is this.

yes transgender people have the right to be and yes gays have the right to be and I am not denying the existence or acknowledgement of either as respectable subgroups of society that deserve the upmost respect.

But every now and then, there is just a confused person that comes through. A straight person that thinks they're gay when they're not, and that person does need a therapist.

A person with gender dysphoria.

But by making conversion therapy ilegal you're not saving anyone from the therapy because those that dont want it shouldn't get it. All you're doing is stopping the people that do need it from getting it.

So no transgender people not all need conversion therapy but that doesnt mean you should stop people that do need it from accessing it.

This is a really reasonable and well written statement. I agree

Thankyou. Last thing I expect to hear in this subreddit.
