Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Washrooms are such an odd obsession. Just make single occupancy toilets , it’s more space efficient
While I do hold the opinion that gender neutral, individually lockable toilet rooms with a mirror and a washbasin etc are the ideal future proof approach for bathrooms pretty much everywhere, I must acknowledge that it is a pretty big undertaking to retrofit existing bathroom facilities into that design.
Though why everyone seems so eager to just throw trans folks to the dogs instead is beyond me.
As a society, we so often want our solutions to be completely elegant and perfect. Life isn’t perfect, situations are messy, details get missed.
every washroom doesn’t need to be perfectly gendered neutral and retrofitted to be “compliant”. We can just build a couple of stalls where anyone can go and use the stall for whatever reason. Public washrooms are already the worst most uncomfortable place in the world.
The larger issue imo is that we are wasting way too much time and energy talking about where people should take a shit. It’s a fucking washroom. Can we please move on?
You don’t have to like or be friends with trans people, just leave them alone.
Edit: I mean the greater “you”, not meant to be an attack
It’s not “odd” at all in 🇬🇧.
Are you suggesting washrooms and sexual assault/child abuse are related? Wtf
Did you even read the common locations nonces in the UK rape kids in?
I‘m saying that UK has a rape culture.
Ok…
Also: downvotes mean “not-worth-reading”
You are piefed, you can react with a “😡” or “⁉️”
