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.

God no. People made their mind up that children should be able to permanently fuck up their body and hormones.
That's a hill they will die on.
Their bodies get "fucked up" by hormones if they do nothing. We all get "fucked up" on hormones to some extent, it's just that puberty blockers allow more opportunity to decide which way to get "fucked up." If you truly wanted to help "brainwashed trenders" not "fuck up their bodies," you'd support puberty blockers. It gives them the most time to decide with as few side effects as possible.
You think transitioning is what happens when treatment fails? You think it's some sort of unfortunate outcome? The data paints a clear picture: transition is the best outcome for us. No other treatment works, and as far as treatments for psychological phenomenon go, it's one of the best.
I wish I could say you're dying on a hill, but you're not. You're throwing screaming children into a pit and burning them alive. You'll face no consequence for your humble contribution outside of possible guilt, but nothing will undo the harm.
