      I don’t know if it’s a Sunni-Shia split thing, but Pakistan and Iran are weirdly trans-friendly (relatively speaking) compared to how homophobic they are.

        nah doesn’t have much to do with the split. the general view is mostly based on an assumption of gender binary. so being gay is like going against your gender, while being trans (with operation, and being straight) isn’t, because essentially you’re fixing something that’s not right with your body… not that different from having an operation on your eye to fix your vision or whatever.

        Hmm. I know someone who moved to the uk from iran less tham 12 months ago and they hate both.

        The Pakistanis i know are generally anti-both too.

          well that’s self-selecting; they don’t allow you into the UK if you don’t hate trans people. it’s their national pastime.

              I’m sorry. you’d think after the disastrous brexit people would come to their senses a bit and try to swing left a bit but you seem to keep going with right wing leaders insistently, even though you churned through three conservatives in three years (which sounds generous considering truss) and they keep resigning in disgrace…

              when will the people realize maybe the party of absolute clowns isn’t all that good? it’s disheartening that labour is not that different from tories but hopefully they’d take some better stances on social issues, idk.

              seems like a good time to push some propaganda and tell people it was clearly wrong to hate immigrants so much when their own blond leaders were the ones screwing them so hard. maybe it was wrong to hate trans people too.
