Turn them into TV celebrities. Keeping up with the Windsors. That way brits can have a full democracy and monarchists can continue with their weird obsession
Well I don't consent to having a Head of State who's only achievement is being born to some spoilt bitch who herself was only notable for having been born to some earlier rich dickhead. I don't consent to my Head of State not even being a citizen or a resident of my country and in fact hasn't been to my country in over half a decade and for a total of less than one season. I don't consent to a foreign rich dickhead having the power to unilaterally overthrow my country's democratically elected government—a power his institution has used in his name in living memory.
The UK had Thatcher, experienced decades of decline, and left the EU under Queen Elizabeth. It's not that things are suddenly worse under Charlie; they've been getting continually worse for a long time.
They only "officially" dont, but in fact they wield a huge amount of power over the government, there have been several scandals about it in recent years
Big Man-theory shouldn't be recycled with differential feminism.
Monarchies (even constitutional monarchies) should be abolished (yes, despite supposed 'tourism value') and in the meantime not be applauded or sensationalised.
Maybe if they got really good at Queen or Elton John songs the British might rally? However, the gayness of these awesome performers may be a requirement. Not all Queens are gay?
Just imagine it a moment: King Charles performing Freddy Mercury at Live Aid, back in the stadium, one night only. Then he fades to black.
It's funny because it's weird. Normally you would expect that masculine traits would be argued for I'm a leader, so to straight-face claim the male leader needs to be made feminine is a funny inversion of social and gender roles.
It's basically the reverse of that comedy where The Rock is the tooth fairy.

these two things not the same, an removing someone from societal power is not same as violating tjem

But if someone makes a joke about forcing someone to be cisgender all hell breaks loose. Sounds like equality still isn't here.
UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 2y
Because it's a known issue people kill themselves over... Seems quite evident I'm surprised you didn't see it.
RoosterBoy@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
And someone WOULDN'T kill themselves if they were forced to be cis and wanted to be trans? I got news for you, pal.
