I'm just trying to be a little bit more optimistic about things, I feel like we've had some real progression in the last decade. My workplace has tampons in the men's toilets which would have seemed inconceivable ten years ago. Everyone I know has been accepting of my friends that transitioned, even ones that vote Tory. I guess people on the internet just really want to be pessimistic and cry about how bad everything is. I'll stop arguing here, feel free to continue the doom and gloom.

I'm familiar, a good friend of mine is going through it at the moment. I'm not saying it's perfect, I'm saying we don't deserve the name "terf island" when we're ranked 15th in the world for trans rights.

Care to elaborate on those reasons? And I don't want to hear about JK Rowling. Every country has loud twats on twitter.

I watched that again recently and thought it was still funny. Fuck the haters!

Actually I'm subscribed to some right wing newsletters for lols and they sent an email just yesterday complaining about the 2020 "fraud"

I was recently behind a woman in the queue at a hardware shop, asking for advice because her landlord had painted white gloss on the inside of her bath

It'll cool you down a bit but I've never seen any evidence of freezing. There's been experiments on animals and also people have survived vacuum exposure before. According to this animals will survive 90 seconds of vacuum. No mentions of turning into ice like the movies.

When something or somebody is injected into space, they always freeze in seconds. The logic is that "space is cold" but space is mostly a vacuum and vacuums don't have temperature. Vacuums insulate against conduction, so you're not going to freeze anytime soon. (You'll lose heat via radiation but that will take a while).

Not to mention the effect that zero pressure has on freezing/boiling points. If anything you'd be steaming as all the water on you evaporates!

I'll ask the boys down at the crime lab. They got us working in shifts.

Eh it's better than making plastic shite to deliberately throw away

That portrayal was so bad that the leading theory is his character was actually an American faking it
