It is scary what 15ish years of right wing rule does to a country

Also like, when the transphobes came out to play under the guise of feminism, I feel like the UK leaned into it a bit. Now they're seeing that hate and marginalization can't really be compartmentalized in the long run.

It's the same thing that's playing out economically in the US and probably in much of the rest of the world. Tolerating somebody getting crowded out eventually means taking your turn unless you're always at the epicenter, which you probably won't be.

I've met a lot of people who were rich 20 years ago and are barely scraping by now because they thought they'd always be on top and spent that time entrenching the system. Surprise surprise, the system doesn't care about you.

TERF island out here in shock that the wave of bigotry isn't stopping with trans women.
