What exactly have the trans community done that has bought about such hate and spite from the PLP?

Starmer's Labour has done far more damage than Thatcher did with sec 28 and now 0.5% of the population, who are completely exhausted and marginalised have to fight to grab the basic rights that trans people in most European (even eastern European countries) have. Stamer's Labour have normalised transphobia to the extent that even the BBC will use incredibly insulting language, whilst refusing to use the dictionary word 'cisgender' because it offends a tiny minority for no reason at all.

The behaviour of the PLP has been, frankly, evil...at every opportunity they've done their damnedest to attack trans people and to enable the tiny minority who hate us to a clearly pathological degree. They have done absolutely nothing to stop the constant demonisation by the right wing media (plus the Guardian, minus the FT).

How else do you describe it when the state piles in on a group that has so little power to fight back? On a group that has pretty much no political representation?

It should be forever be a source of shame for the Labour party, it should be a scandal that so many in the PLP are against the existence of transsexual people..that transphobia is so normalised, but instead they pat themselves on the back with stripping more from us and fellate each other over how they've managed to make trans people 2nd class citizens in their own country.

Why?

You will gain nothing from your cruelty..so why?

Screen locking - is there any way to use a controller rather than inputting a password?

Currently have Ubuntu Linux LTS on an old PC that I use as a kinda HTPC / File server thing. I'd prefer to unlock using my steam controller than having to get a keyboard out..is are there any screen locking apps that use an alternative method rather than putting password in?

Trans rights in the UK are the shame of Western Europe (and some of Eastern Europe too), largely thanks to Starmer's Labour.

Recently Anas Sarwar, the hideous Scottish Labour leader has now said that he wishes to oppress Scottish trans people further by having policies that further discriminate against trans people including sending all trans women (a term he seems to be unable to say of late) prisoners to the male estate.

Categorically this will lead to abuse and rape of trans women. If you're too stupid to not see why that would happen, then I suggest looking up what happens to trans women in the male estate, even to the extent of guards using sexual assault and rape of trans women as punishment / entertainment / utility. Look up v-coding.

It's very telling that if there was a circumstance where there was an intention to put cisgender women in a position where they're very likely to be raped, you'd be rightfully appalled (unless you're a sociopath), but trans women don't even get the slightest of consideration, despite the fact that we get subjected to just as much sexual assault as our cisgender sisters.

So, Scottish Labour activists, I beg you, don't pretend that you give any amount of shit about trans people when you support your party inflicting some of the worst horrors on us (along with positively enforcing discrimination on us). As a trans person it's nauseating to see people who want to harm us wanking each other off about how they really care about trans people. At least the far right is honest in their hatred.

(made a new topic as I was accused of "deflecting" on another topic by Scottish Labour activists)
