@avon_deer There we go
@avon_deer I've thought about it a few times but I get bad vibes from our local candidate.
@renbymon It wouldn't make any difference to a national project like HS2 anyway. But a hypothetical regional assembly would still be a game changer in other ways; which is precisely why the establishment fights so hard against it.
@avon_deer Oh don't get me wrong I agree that a fully devolved regional assembly would be fantastic but I can't stand behind someone I don't feel right about.
@renbymon That's fair.
@avon_deer Right now, and this is being a bit selfish but honestly I have to look at who's actively looking after my safety. Though I agree that a devolved Yorkshire would be best, the party hasn't really spelled out what its stance on certain rights are.
Given how the Tories are acting now, and how Starmer has proven untrustworthy, I'm only looking at parties that are out there staying trans rights.
It's 2023; this shouldn't be a conversation that we're having.
@avon_deer I actually had a nightmare last night, the first time in a long time, about being chased by people who wanted me dead because I'm trans.
I'm fed up with the media and now the main two political parties treating us like dirt. Any party that wants my vote is gonna have to be loud and proud about trans rights.
