Boris Johnson says a person ‘cannot be born with a penis without being a man’

  1. It’s lunchtime on Monday and he’s started on the culture wars… Ran out of ideas early this week.

    Probably tired after his big boy important meeting last week.

  2. I’m kinda worried about whats about to happen if he’s going for a distraction this blatant and this early.

  3. Right up until they decide they need to become a woman. Right Boris?

    I mean really, people have been doing this for years now. It shouldn’t be that fucking difficult to understand.

    Some people choose to remain the physical sex they are but associate or recognise themselves as another. Easy enough to accept, right Boris? Fair enough, may be more difficult for your bean counters to put into a little box, but come on let’s be adult about it.

    Then, Boris dear, you’ve got other people who need to go full on and, you know get a penis or get rid of one. They literally change to what they feel they’ve always been, yes Boris? No tackle, or added tackle. Whatever. You can’t just blithely leave these people in some sort of limbo in your mind because you don’t get it dear, you can’t just pretend those people aren’t real.

    They might be relatively few in numbers compared to those that don’t need to change gender, but it’s not difficult to fucking understand Boris. I mean, really, you’d think you’d understand, you’re clearly a cunt yet you’ve got a cock.

    You don’t need to remove men and women, the struggle that women have undertaken to fight the patriarchal norms, or any other giants who’s shoulders we stand on to have the liberties we struggle to maintain today, to recognise people for who they are. I mean Boris, it’s just polite.

  4. Biggest, deadest cat you ever did see. How come no media commentator has pointed out that Boris *quite literally* threatens the rights of minority groups *every single time* he’s in political trouble? It’s embarrassing if nothing else.

    The “pro-UK” guy wants to remove fundamental rights from his citizens – the right to protest, the right to be free from government intervention on private matters, the right not to be ridiculed in public by people who are ostensibly elected to represent you, and so on.

    And they wonder why trust in politics is at an all time low. He’s just a tinpot dictator with worse hair.

  5. Pathetic. His last redoubt is to try and stoke a culture war over trans people.

    I would like to say the British public won’t fall for this transparent nonsense, but…

  6. Surely the bigger question is why during a time of crippling inflation and a cost of living crisis is our government giving a shit about what sports orgs do around athlete participation. How is this in any way a government problem?

  7. Boy, Boris sure does seem to want to blame trans people for everything these days.

    Hope he has an ‘are we the baddies’ moment soon, but he would need morals for that.

  8. Ah when all else fails, play to your base of bigots and start a big, distracting culture war.

    EDIT: I seem to be getting a lot of notifications for replies I can’t see? I guess I blew the wrong dog whistle and the mods are having to clean up.

  9. Wait so a newborn baby is ‘a man’?

    Must be that Eton education that inculcated him with such linguistic precision. Do they do refunds?

  10. So if there is a terrible accident, and your penis is destroyed completely…are you no longer a man?

    Or is it having a willy defines you for all time?

    If gender is so strict, why is it so easy for the human body to change?

    In any case we all know they say this shit to distract us. He is most likely trying to bait starmer into this shit so the right wing rags can talk about this shit that barely effects anyone instead of the fact the Tories are causing the country to collapse.

  11. Male. Without being male surely.

    A man, a woman or something else is the (gender) expression, the male/female thing is a rough label for physical sex but even that imprecise as with all labels.

  12. When pressed further, the Prime Minister said “Look! Look over there! Behind you!”, and pointed to the sky behind reporters.

    It transpired there was nothing of note behind the press and upon turning back to question Johnson further, the Tory leader was no longer at the podium.

    We at The Mail must now ask the only question that matters: what had Kier Starmer taken from the sky* and why?

    *it was imperial measurements

  13. Boris has gone full Trump then and just spews whatever shit comes into his mind?

    This is factually incorrect anyway, as the assignment of sex at birth is MALE or FEMALE not man or woman.

    If he’s going to come out with inflammatory and divisionary bile, he ought to have at least prepared properly as the PM. Shit, he could have simply said ‘I support x governing body of x sport on the issue of transgender participation…’ if it even needed to be said.

    Unfortunately for Bozo, he’s thrown too many dead cats out for any more to have an impact other than continuing to guarantee the downfall of the Tories, finally.

  14. And here we go. Trans people are about to come under attacked directly by the government. I can just feel it. And it’ll be used to cover up a larger scandal when it comes.

  15. >Mr Johnson said: “I haven’t studied it in detail but I see no reason to dissent.”

    I think this sums up his argument in its entirety. Arguing from a position of maximum ignorance.

  16. Cmon chaps, time to stir up the riff-raff; our base is fed up with hating migrants, let’s get them mad against trans folks so they don’t think about naughty words like “unionisation” and “inequality”.

    Day after pride too, actually sickening.

  17. there’s no pointing in debating what he said

    this prick is saying things to distract from the result and other shit that he’s done. its classic tactic of his.

  18. Is he trying to make this a wedge issue? If you hate trans women, vote Tory, we’ll be sure to get rid of them.

    I hope the Tories get buried in the next election and take 20 years to come back.

    We don’t need to play tribal politics with the lives of minorities.

  19. Boris Johnson says something to inflame transphobes because it plays to his base and gets Labour stumbling over their words. More at 10.

    Ignore this moron and focus on the thousands of other things he can be criticised for. This is culture war bullshit he throws out to draw attention away from everything else (at the expense of trans people).
