United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
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.

Broadly good news, well, unless your trans.
I can't work out if I'm surprised or not that men's attitudes towards transpeople have deteriorated faster than women's. My bubble is so overwhelmingly focused on TERFs being the only people who hate transpeople that I've missed a lot of the phobia in toxic masc spaces.
Personally (and its little more then a guess).
It seems to me like some of the hard core rioght of centre males. Felt like there ideals were dying out. And like animals backed into a corner. Came out fighting.
Add to that the effect of social media over the last 20 yeas. Where the most non wsupported views can easily get a voice. Forming groups of like minded idiots supporting each other.
And the typical effect of teenagers looking to question general views.
Without the internet. These ideals still seem to have relatively low % of support in large groups.
Most are more of the opinion.
"Cant say I understand the feeling. But its not really my concern."
That said most of us who are cis/het but support. Dont understand but still are happy to except and fight for others rights to be themselves.
