General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.

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.

Yes gender is a made up concept.

But sex is also not binary.

So ideas like biologically male are just that. Ideas with no real scentific merit.

Biologically XY could be used. But without clear medical evidence. The BBC has zero idea if that applies. And people are known to be born female. To the po8nt of getting pregnant with xy chromosomes.

And while documented cases are rare. They are rare because it is rare that anyone is actually tested,. So how common is not really known.
