United Kingdom
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.

Would you be able to give any examples? I can't really think of much that would crumble under a self-ID system, and I would suspect there's some restrictions on things like how often you can change, so you don't have people changing for things like government bonuses or whatever might exist.
A lot of other things like "women's shelters" or "men's clubs" tend to be based more on society's view on you as a man/woman rather than any sort of legal check.
You can't think of any circumstances where a man claiming to be a woman to enter what is generally a space reserved for the opposite gender with malicious intent wouldn't be concerning?
Surely basically any changing room or bathroom in the country meets this criteria?
The examples you give are bad - in those spaces you are judged on how you look, not your legal gender. Many men and women have been questioned in changing rooms / bathrooms just because of how they look, even if they're cisgender.
So I can't really see how changing your legal gender freely is going to cause issues. There is nobody stopping a man going into a womens changing room or bathroom already.
