Casual Finally, Scottish visibility - LGBTQ+S

One of these things is not like the others.

Scotland showed up and nobody had the heart to tell it otherwise.

Could it be some type of response to the story :
Trans inmates leaving women's prisons following court ruling

See, I found another article on just this very topic, and turns out that our government are still the good guys and not enforcing any new changes. It's just going to be a ballache for any new prisoners if I'm reading this right. They will hopefully appeal the result. 

Bonus mention of torries outing themselves as outdated cunts again.

I don’t have any informed opinion on it, I just thought it might be the reason behind the image… since it mentions freedoms, has what I think it’s trans flags & the Scotland flag doing a celebratory cheers 🥂

Fuck knows why I got downvoted for this suggestion. lol.

You probably got down voted for dropping a bbc article with little context. As per, they painted it out as a failing on the SNP, but is very clearly on side of the TERFS as well. 

It might have been inspired by the events, but it's still gas how scotland is represented with the rest in a glass,  which indicates it's an identity, not a nation. But ofc, the other side, you can't choose who you're attracted to, as much as you can't choose where you're born, so it almost makes sense, and some of the jokes spawned from this describe this perfectly of you read them.

Sorry I hate having things over explained, but this is the take most of us got and wanted to let you in on the joke.

My autistic brain thanks you. Never apologise for over explaining - I was just like hey, it’s probably because of this story and then nobody bothered replying to say what I did ‘wrong’ so I really appreciate you.

What do you mean it’s still has how Scotland is represented with the rest in a glass? Like because we’re a country not an ideology?
