I am so glad I live in a safe Labour seat so I can feel comfortable not voting for them next GE. Because they feel just like a version of the Tories from my voting lifetime (and I'm not super old) right now.

I am so sad that I will have to vote for them, but I have no other option

I don't know how unpopular an opinion it is, but surely anyone just deciding to self ID as a different gender opens huge safeguarding concerns?

I'm all for the process being easy for them to work through, but literally just doing it yourself seems excessively easy and abusable.

You can't think of any circumstances where a man claiming to be a woman to enter what is generally a space reserved for the opposite gender with malicious intent wouldn't be concerning?

Surely basically any changing room or bathroom in the country meets this criteria?
