Nigel Farage waves the England flag; should we hate and blame all English folk for his hatred?
Is that not what you’re doing when you say stuff like.
the Scottish people, who are by and large far more left wing than the English, had the most trans-inclusive legislation in the UK. The Scots are aggrieved that yet again something progressive was overruled by an English-dominated power.

the meme is from regular trans ally Scots folks expressing Scottish solidarity with LGBT+, and I think it’s a mistake to be getting cross about that because nasty author is also a Scot and the hate group had Scottish in the name.
But it’s fine to be cross about all of England because some of the judges of the case were English?
Some Scottish people made this meme, standing with trans folk.
Some Scottish terfs and English transphobes together overturned the Scottish trans-inclusive legislation.
Scottish Independence would mean that a majority English Parliament and a majority English wouldn’t be able to overturn Scottish legislation, and neither Scotland nor England would be facing trans erasure, trans exclusion and anti-trans discrimination. This is the sense in which particularly Scots trans folks and trans allies who want independence feel that this is another example of Scotland not being allowed to do what it chooses. But Scots who want independence largely dislike English rule rather than dislike English people.
It’s OK to be cross with the English-dominated Supreme Court, including the two Scots on it. It’s OK to be cross with nasty author and Scottish terf hate groups. It’s OK to be cross with the situation that the English-dominated Supreme Court can overrule the Scottish Parliament, (especially when the English-dominated Parliament has Parliamentary Sovereignty as a core principal and can overturn the Supreme Court in a way that the Scottish Parliament cannot, even if the current government is incorrectly treating it as constitutionally binding), and it’s OK to be cross with the situation that the overturning of that law in Scotland has now exploded over the whole of the UK spewing shit over people who are just trying to live their lives in peace.
It’s not OK to be cross with random English trans allies just because they’re English and it’s not OK to be cross with random Scottish allies just because they’re Scottish.

Sigh.
