General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

"Non-binary" is not a thing, except for attention-seekers.
Rule 1 of feddit.uk
My comment is none of those things...
Unless it was very subtle sarcasm, it was denying the existence of nonbinary people, which is transphobic. Now, I think you should be allowed to say whatever you think, I was just pointing out that it's against the rules of the instance you chose to comment on.
Eh? Trans is someone who transitions from man to woman or vice versa. A person just saying they're non-binary is not trans, because they haven't transitioned. There is no third state to transition to.
Don't be ashamed to be one of today's lucky 10000!

Trans people are people who's gender doesn't align with their biological sex. Nonbinary people don't identify as male or female, so unless they're intersex, their gender doesn't align with their biological sex. Genderfluid is a subset of nonbinary people who's gender changes over time, between any of masculine, feminine, or agender (having no strong connection to a gender identity).
Therefore, nonbinary people come under the trans umbrella, although some would choose not to identify as trans for several reasons (for me it's mainly because trans is still mainly associated with binary trans people, and I don't want to muddy the waters or confuse anyone).
Someone doesn't have to have transitioned to be trans, although often they want to transition, they just have to identify with a gender which isn't the same as their sex.
