We’ve been told by the “progressives” that gender and sex are different things for years, so there should be no complaints if the Sex Discrimination Act is reverted to be about Sex and not “gender identity”.
It's all a distraction to keep us plebs fighting each other instead of the ruling class.
This is such a non-issue. Let people identify how they like, try call people by their self-identified gender. Who is the fuck cares that someone who's sex is female at birth is a man, vice versa, or otherwise. Bathrooms should be all-gender anyway, with stalls with complete walls from wall to ceiling. We don't solve sexual assaults with separate bathrooms, the notion that we do is absurd.
Fucking insane that people fall for this bullshit, and also that progressives waste their time fighting with them over this.
I really wish we started treating this as the common sense issue that is. To me, women are women if they say they're woman, men are men, etc. ffs move on.
There's no war but the class war, and trans people are just the latest "other" for the ruling class to focus on to keep us divided.
