Four of the UK's largest Pride organisations have suspended political parties' involvement in their events in "unequivocal solidarity" with the transgender community. Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester Prides announced that political parties would not be welcome at their events in an official capacity until they demonstrated a "tangible commitment to trans rights".
In other words, the ‘right’ of mentally ill men to call themselves women and use women’s services and play on women’s sports teams. Rights they should never have been granted in the first place.
The announcement comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the term "woman" in the Equality Act was defined by biological sex. The ruling was welcomed by some campaigners representing lesbian, gay and bisexual people who say it protects single-sex groups, while others shared concerns about the impact on the trans community. A statement from the group of Pride organisers said there was a "disturbing global trend... where LGBTQ+ rights are being systematically rolled back".
I haven’t seen any such rights being rolled back - no one is calling for gay marriage to be scrapped, are they? No one is demanding that gays should be prevented from serving in the military again.
Call it what it is.

It's rather astonishing that it should be all about men intruding in women's spaces, when for as long as I can remember, women have intruded into men's. Blimey, women even now wear trousers! (Joan of Arc was burnt by her French compatriots for precisely that!) The thing is that biological women are uncompetitive in men's sports, so it isn't obvious, but men-only clubs have been invaded by women in droves, and har-har, that's how it should be,.
Oddly, my Men Only magazines featured lots of women, and no men!
No word about those people who identify as cats or bridges then?
