If they are this happy wasting airtime on a none issue (<1%) imagine what they will be like in the general election where labour are the ones they are going full tilt at instead of each other
2024 will be 99% smearing of the opposition and 1% actual issues the public care about
While their need to victimize minorities is quite obvious, it’s very foolish of the Tories to pick a fight with trans people. Do they think they can win? Do they think they can claim the moral high ground? This is not America, we don’t have an appetite for that kind of hatred here.
Are there not bigger things to focus on?
Because they need another enemy. They always need an enemy. They’re never going to admit it was their lying botch-job of a Brexit that is to blame for much of the issues this country faces, and they’re fast running out of targets for their inherent bigotry.
And CNN is a source for uk news since when?
Our transition to American style politics is almost complete. It will not be long before we go full WWE
Last time it was “look at how many drugs I took/take”. Now it seems to be “look at how much I hate trans people”
I’m specifically disappointed in Mordaunt though as she was the least awful one of the lot for trans people but it seems like she’s done a complete 180 to court the Prosecco Stormfront vote.
What a shock!
Typical Conservative othering.
Can already see the inevitable “we spend X amount on trans issues” were X is a big sum to a regular household but tiny compared to the running of a country, and this will inevitably be used when discussing why somethings are underfunded.
This complete lack of empathy posturing as strength is utterly pathetic. True strength is supporting the weakest in society,. especially when it’s not the popular opinion to do so.
It’s fucking ridiculous.
As always it is portraying Trans-women as sexual deviants/preditors rather than human beings. The notion that Trans-men exist is completely devoid.
Whilst yes.. there are some very genuine and deep questions/issues/discussions surrounding gender in sports.. that is one of the only places.
Essentially they are using the removal/denial of rights for a group of society as a platform to appear strong.
And regardless this is a fucking platform issue when we as a nation are getting inflation through the roof, cost of fuel and living increases going nuts, obscenely stagnant wages and rolling towards a winter where there will be people dying as a direct result of fuel poverty…. but NO.. IT’S THE TRANSWOMEN THAT ARE THE PROBLEM!
**It’s fucking despicable.**
I wish more people would just look at their voting history, tells you all you need about these people
Cry me a river
Has anyone brought them up on it?
Has anyone said “you’ve spent X amount of hours talking about the cost of living crisis and what you’re going to do about it but X2 amount of hours saying you hate trans people. Why is this?”
The economy is imploding and these clowns are debating something that is ultimately a fringe issue. Labour will wipe the floor with them at the next GE – I hope.
Turning? Its turned and is travelling down a dark path.
Uhhh… no it’s not. From the article: “*Descriptors like “biological woman” are considered slurs by trans advocates*”. They can consider them slurs all they like, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. Because quite plainly it’s not. If that’s the level of discourse that you’re calling transphobic, then I think it’s fair to say that this is a pure clickbait article with little basis in reality. Particularly when the quote was being applied to the very pro trans rights candidate Penny Mordaunt.
The audience is the 200K Tory party membership and not the voting public. Unless you understand the audience then you won’t win.
Never fucking forget this. They’re obviously bigoted arseholes, they’re obviously on the wrong side of history, and they’re obviously using the suffering of a minority group as a wedge issue yet again. Never let them sweep this under the rug in the future, never forgive them.
The right-wing side of the Tory base don’t believe that trans people or climate change actually exist so will treat them as such
Boy I sure do love waking up every morning to people debating whether or not I exist or should be given rights.
Lol is this really the most pressing issue rn
i love yanks who have a weekend at bernies president, who investigate doctors who give abortions to 10 year old girls that were raped, who experience school shootings on the monthly, to lecture another fucking country about their business

A race to the bottom
Do trans people not have rights? How come?
It’s a sign of things to come
