The transphobia in the UK from its government and people truly make me feel sick to the stomach. If anything ever convinces me to finally emigrate it is probably going to be this.

Not surprised. People have been trying to conveniently treat trans people as some seperate classification to the rest of the acronym of lgbTq+ and are now shocked that it lowers the acceptance ranking as a whole. Trans people have been, and always will be, part of the gay community.

If you start to tell people they are right to criticise one certain minority group it emboldens them to talk about others.
Look at Rowling – she’s gone from making Dumbladore gay in a retcon; to questioning if asexuality exists. She’s been constantly pushed and enabled so her views become more extreme.

People already suffering a bit of headloss here.
This activist organisation base their rankings only on legal policy (hence the ‘ranked…for LGBT rights’) and obviously do not measure e.g. social cohesion, crime rates, day-to-day life… etc
Don’t take what they say as gospel or indicating QoL for people. And don’t be silly and suggest you live in some backwards dystopia. This is only about a narrow view of policy/legally enshrined rights.
Also, they are not measuring anything objectively. They have an agenda.

This is some absolute nonsense, i completely agree that the recent changes on trans rights are appalling.
To say we are the second bottom overall for LGBTQ people is completely at odds with reality. For example same sex marriage is not allowed in Poland yet we are ranked below them.

We’re also now ranked 6th in all of Europe on trans rights, ahead of only Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania and *Russia*.

ITT: A bunch of non-LGBT people who have never cared about LGBT stuff suddenly care because the UK ranked near the bottom.
It’s like Eurovision.

This appears as what did the damage to the rating:
“Following a Supreme Court ruling on the interpretation of sex as biological in April 2025, public authorities were told that they could face prosecution if they failed to update guidance on the provision of single-sex services”

Riiiiight…
Next on the ground breaking and intergalactic important news – cats association says mice are not fat enough.
