The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

The UK has recently been on roll of making rulings where people have been assumed to have been discriminated against for being "gender critical" or "opposed to critical race theory". The equality act has essentially been nullified in practice.

And the TERFs immediately started threatening every trans person and ally who wouldn't service them with lawsuits for breaching the Equality Act.

All the "free speech" warriors of course defend them, decrying "cancel culture", but are oddly silent when the same TERFs file SLAPP lawsuits against people criticising them.
