General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

assuming you didn't make a typo, this ain't cute. The signal you're sending is that respecting pronouns is a privilege you reserve for people you agree with.

It's more that I'm giving her a taste of her own medicine. She doesn't extend this basic courtesy to people she disagrees with, so why should anyone give it to her?

Because it isn't just hurting she/her, it is also hurting the people who want to be called a different pronouns.

So better to keep referring to her cis pronouns every time she/her is mentioned.

Because the signal you're sending to trans people is that you don't think respecting our pronouns is a human right.

She is so vile and toxic in such obvious ways - why not attack her for her wrongs instead?
