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.

Then why even bring it up?
We don't judge demographics by the actions of individuals. If we did, both cis men and cis women would be banned from every aspect of society.
But for trans women, it seems to be fair game to dig for crimes and then make this sort of two-faced statement where you are definitely saying that we should view trans women with suspicion, but won't come out and just be transphobic openly.
Because how many trans people are there compared with straight people?
And society does, very much judge outsider demographics on the worst actions of individuals.
Yes that's the point I'm making, sweetheart. That we don't judge most people by the actions of individuals but for minorities, it's fair game.
Unless you are saying that it is right for people to do that?
Looks like an excellent block list candidate to me.
I get that its hyperbole. Its basically too much hyperbole though in my opinion. Its not worth that much to be respectful in conversation.
Also fuck you for that last part. "God damn all males are a danger, have you never heard of x serial killer" is how you sound.
Being a psychopath and being transgender are two completely different things.
Wow if one guy gets you all up in arms you are gonna lose it when you hear about the Catholic Church
Why won't everyone else align with my hateful views!
Yes, that's called being a TERF. And when anyone calls them out on it, someone goes "oh but they're standing up for all those poor women and girls." Gtfo.
That's some twisted reasoning by the judge. Children shouldn't get into a stranger's car regardless of their gender.
The notion that this girl would have acted differently to a man is ridiculous. Hopefully this is just bad journalism.
