This is in essence a demand that government properly define this generations UK #JimCrow rules of effective apartheid so everyone has a place & fucking knows it.
Dress it up as you like; tinkering with legislation protecting trans people from all but UK courts facilitating #fascism is what it is.
The #RomeSitIns began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1963 in Rome, Georgia. Over 100 Black students participated in the protest against #segregation. 62 were arrested and many were prosecuted, but the #JimCrow system unraveled completely the next year with the #CivilRightsAct of 1964.
Articles of Impeachment have been introduced. Make sure your Dems & Deplorables don't flake out.

In this July 26, 1937 file photo, police escort two of the five recently freed "Scottsboro Boys," Olen Montgomery, wearing glasses, third left, and Eugene Williams, wearing suspenders, forth left through the crowd greeting them upon their arrival at Penn Station in New York.
The cases included a lynch mob before the suspects had been indicted, all-white juries, rushed trials, and disruptive mobs. It is commonly cited as an example of a legal injustice in the United States legal system.

This was the end of a series of demonstrations calling on segregationist Gov. George Wallace and other state authorities to allow people of color to register to vote. In this speech, King shared his belief that the racist power structure that maintained the Jim Crow era was coming to an end. He said, “evil is choking to death in the dusty roads and streets of this state. So I stand before you this afternoon with the conviction that segregation is on its deathbed in Alabama, and the only thing uncertain about it is how costly the segregationists and Wallace will make the funeral.”

The Constitution limited voting to landed white males -6% of the population. The 13th,14th,&15th,&19th Amendments changed that.
Jim Crow laws are how felons (black men) lost their right to vote. 13% of the population is black >50% have felonies!

In the US context, a #PollTax is a fee charged for voting. #ThisDayInHistory in 1966 was another win against #JimCrow, as SCOTUS abolished the last poll taxes by outlawing them for state & local elections. They had been widely used to disenfranchise impoverished & Black citizens.
