All the passengers of the ‘selfie yacht’ are safe and unharmed. They were provided with sandwiches and water. The show is over.
The legislation that is quietly being implemented by the UK Establishment against trans people right now by this Labour Government is truly horrific. Trans people in the UK must now declare their birth sex to a partner before sex - or face prosecution for rape. Outing themselves from the off. Degrading. This follows Labour’s announcement last week that even trans women who have had full sex reassignment surgery will go into the male prison estate if convicted of a sex crime. Which consensual sex in its common understanding would be. This almost guarantees every trans woman now sent to a UK prison will be raped. To hive a real world scenario, if a woman who is trans was at a Christmas party tonight, gets drunk, and ends up having sex with a guy - both parties lost in the moment but consenting - she could be thrown into a male jail and treated as a sex offender if the guy subsequently finds out her past and retrospectively withdraws his ‘consent’ because the woman didn’t tell him she was trans at the time. Even though there is nothing shameful about being trans, and trans is not a disease. It’s actually a protected characteristic. If you have a GRC, you legally do not have to declare your medical history to anyone. Where is the dignity? These two changes in UK law put trans women in particular in serious jeopardy - both in the bedroom with a partner, and in the prison system. It’s also incredibly stigmatising and dehumanising - with the clear inference that trans people having sex with c i s people are frauds, and that it is dirty and wrong. Utterly barbaric and inhumane @YvetteCooperMP @ShabanaMahmood . Written purely from the perspective of c i s people being ‘tricked’, with absolutely zero regard for the respect or safety of trans people. @UKLabour
If you're trans you have to live! If you do something more, great! but even if you do nothing else, just live!
