Friends with benefits as a term is wasted on fuck buddies when it could be used to describe being friends with fanfic authors who let you read the next chapter before it gets posted

A guys' night episode where Maurice and Gregory plan a night out within earshot of Jacob and Gregory instantly invites Jacob along because he doesn't wanna be one-on-one with Maurice now he's with Janine. Jacob declines the offer much to Gregory's surprise until he explains he's going on a date with Zach, Jacob eventually agrees because Gregory says Zach can come too so the four them fo out. Gregory and Maurice are odd with each other, Jacob quizzes both of them about Janine, Zach is just there for a good time and Mr Johnson is also somehow involved...

Okay
So
I'm a non-binary transgender person in Scotland.
If you don't know what I'm about to talk about, let me tell you.
> (this is to space out the text for anyone who struggles to read big blocks of things, like me)
The SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT passed a law that let's 16 year olds self identify their gender.
The law would have gender dysphoria not be something that you need to be diagnosed by a Doctor.
A transgender person would only have to wait 3 months and *not* 2 years to have lived as their preferred gender.
This law has not been put in place yet.
And it might never.
>
BECAUSE LONDON'S GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO NOT ALLOW THE BILL.
Their 'reasons' for this include:
• They do not believe 16 years old have the capability to understand what they want to do with their bodies
• They believe people could use the identity of being a Transgender Woman to harm Women in public places/single sex places
• They believe that Immigrants could come to the United Kingdom and harm Women in public places/single sex places
• This law could conflict with the laws of the United Kingdom
>
Now my REASONS for being angry, for thinking this argument is completely foolish, is as follows:
• Within the United Kingdom, 16 year olds are trusted with their bodies when it comes to; Being a soldier, having sex and having children
• If this argument of "these group of people could harm our women" doesn't sound familiar, then look into any part of history that involve people being discriminated against, it isn't that hard to find
• If the London Government worry so much for people of the female sex, THEN GET BETTER SECURITY. DO NOT BLAME THE CRIMES OF CRUEL PERVERTS WHO WANT POWER OVER SOMEONE, ON ENTIRE GROUPS OF PEOPLE
• "This law could conflict with the laws of the United Kingdom" Dude. WE, AS IN THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT, **VOTED DEMOCRATICALLY** TO HAVE THIS LAW PASS **IN SCOTLAND!!!** NOT ANYWHERE ELSE! Y'all can handle your own laws, just keep your hands off ours
>
They are fools.
Simply because they have demonstrated many things that is more telling of themselves than anyone else:
• They will use whatever *excuses* they want to have things go their way (not surprising in government but also yes it surprised me)
• The London Government abused it's apparent 'equal power with Scotland' to tell us that they can and will, in fact, take away the laws we pass for their liking
• They have shown to be Transphobic, Racist and Sexist (towards people born Male and Female)
• This is not democracy
• This is OR SHOULD BE illegal, they did not vote on this, they just said "no"
• And the thing the London/England Government fear the most; this will *definitely*, if they do not undo this or 'at least' come to an agreement; DEFINITELY make us Scots want to be *independent* from them
>
Thank you for reading this far.
I've never done such a long post about such a serious topic before.
To all the Scots, the English and Trans people reading this who are also angry, upset or even scared of this situation; know this, have faith and fight for this law. I am fighting for the law we pass to be returned. I hope it does, so that it can be a domino affect and get this bill talked about for the rest of the United Kingdom, where it could be treated with Democracy instead of all this bullshit.
Anyone who is outside of the United Kingdom, thank you again for taking the time to read this.
All of you have my internet hugs x
>
If you agree that this bill should not have been passed, if you agree with the reasons the London Government gave
LOL Leave my tumblr and never come back.

"In the UK government argument, such groups might now need to have different membership rules north and south of the border" - BBC
Ah yes because it would be crazy for different laws to exist north and south of a border, it's not like it has been happening in Ireland for years or anything...
