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.

Why split things like bathrooms or hospital wards by sex or gender anyway? Any solution that validates trans people while still separating genders is only going to be a bandage solution at best, as it doesn't solve the underlying issue of sexism "I can't be in the same room as someone of another sex/gender, that would be terrible!" Like what? Are we trying to accommodate religious idiots instead of trans people or something?
No, it's to stop putting men in the same wards as women in case the men rape the women or harass them. It's about protecting women.
No, it's to make women who assume they will be raped feel safe. Men don't just rape women because they're in the same room. They don't change gender to improve their rape opportunities either.
Oh no no, if I'm even in the same room as a woman alone as a cis male I'm obligated to rape a woman

This shit is so blatantly and openly misandrist, I can't even imagine growing up as a boy hearing this rhetoric thrown around how you're just a monster and you can't prove otherwise, spread by what you would assume at first are kind old ladies on the street.
