| Lightning Strikes 01/21/21 1:23:52 PM #307: | The UK has had what Biden just signed for over a decade, and in some form for much longer than that. TERFism is only a bigger issue in the UK than the US in that there are more big-name liberal and feminist figures, like JK Rowling, who are transphobic, but it's not really reflected in the law or in the culture outside of that bubble. If polling is to be believed, the UK public is either similarly or more accepting of transgender issues, for instance the bathroom thing is a non-factor there. I have seen the idea that the UK is more transphobic than the US floated before and I don't really think there's a solid basis. It does show how this handful of people who have a huge platform can change the public view though. Indeed, unfortunately attitudes in the UK have slightly worsened in the last year according to polls (though still supportive), and it's easy to see the likes of Rowling as being to blame. It's almost as if giving famous individuals a disproportionate say is a bad thing! --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard! |
