@MafubaHQ@amy_sargeant_@MattBinder You'd almost think their views have very little to do with what they say they are, they mostly hate based on differences. In another decae they would be hating effeminate gay men, or butch lesbians, but that isn't popular right now.
Unfortunately the only evidence politicians care about is what is likely to get them re-elected.
Usually they come to a decision and then look for science to back up that decision as the right one...
Existing published evidence is overwhelming that social transition is critical for trans children’s mental health, well-being, confidence and happiness.
There is literally zero published research indicating any harm. 2/
@vala84no @melarune @KatyMontgomerie If no-one has standing, then a new law would be required.
The US brought in Rico laws to allow prosecution of mob bosses who didn't directly commit crimes, a legal change to address this hole would be most appropriate.
But the UK already has hate speech laws, right?
@vala84no @melarune @KatyMontgomerie In that case, which may be the current standard in UK law, new laws specific to the harm they cause would be needed.
I don't think it is vague, i think there is specific case law to use as examples...
@melarune @KatyMontgomerie You're right, and i guess even if you had a group of trans folks who have experienced violence, tying it back to this hate group wouldn't be easy to prove
@melarune @KatyMontgomerie I don't standing is nebulous.
If you are injured in an accident caused by someone else, you have standing to take them to court. Your friends who were not in the accident have no standing to claim over the harm to you.

@Scurvy_Bones@halomancer1 But now, ~100 years later some of those same religions have adopted creationism and preach it over the science (which once proved their religion superior).
Almost as if the ideas don't matter.
@Scurvy_Bones@halomancer1 Interestingly, back when the big bang was first proposed (~1920s) there was a number of non-western religious teachers claiming it proved their beliefs superior - becuase they actually have a creation myth.
