That will probably make him more popular among Tory voters.
This would have been career ending in 2017, now we have the pm and the equalities minister both on tape slinging insults about trans people in polite company without a care in the world.
Rishi Sunak is a man who’s been handed everything in life & he chooses to use his platform to mock those who already go through unimaginable discrimination just for political gain. He says he’s a man of integrity, he’s not.

This won’t even be buried in most news outlets. It just won’t be mentioned.
Meanwhile the right wing media made sure that Gordon Brown’s political career was all but over when he was caught on mic sitting in his car and calling a bigoted person a bigot.
Politics in the UK is truly the most rigged of games.

Absolutely disgusting. Laughing at Trans women just like he did laughing when talking about taking money from deprived Labour constituencies and funnelling them into Tory seats. Or like how he joked about having never met a working class person, wearing it as a badge or honour.
And he is our Prime Minister, voted by nobody.
I’m terrified that they’re going to go after adult trans healthcare next.
With the Tories having moved over to the far right, they can drop the pretence that they care about equality and inclusion, including that of LGBT people. Their continuing attack on trans people and using them as a dead cat strategy only confirms that. It is possible that this footage was leaked on purpose to get people to stop talking about the COVID inquiry and the lockdown footage (not as crazy as it sounds given past form). The sad thing is that it will lose the Tories no support.
He’s going to have to double down on the culture wars. Make evil the manifesto promise now.
Hope he has to resign…
the PR firms he pays millions to try and come across as a relatable nice guy are gonna have to work hard on this one

I mean this is what tories are – if they’re not punching down on some minority or another what are they for exactly?
I’m seeing (or saw because it might have been deleted) posts here implying that trans people are autistic and so inherently untrustworthy. Nasty stuff, and I typed a response just to address this idea but don’t now know where to put it. Included here in case more of this appears:
> Firstly, you’re implying that there’s something inherently broken about autistic people. Secondly you’re dreaming up a causal connection between autistic and trans people, so they’re inherently broken too. So much leaping to “correlation is causation” just to have a go at trans *and* autistic people.
> So *all* these people fail your test of “well-rounded adults” because they don’t pass your “might be autistic” test? And children should not be told about insomnia, dyslexia or having gay parents either in case they “catch” it?
Can’t wait for this to turn into the media baiting Keir Starmer into questions like “What is a woman? What do you think of women’s penises?!” to turn this into the most important concern at the next General Election for some godforsaken reason.
If women can have penises, why do some people remove them as part of their transition?
Edit: removed a contentious intro to the question.
Party made up of bigoted cunts shockingly is led by a bigoted cunt
Me entering this thread: surely even those opposed to trans people and their legal protections don’t support the implication that trans people are just uneducated?
Me reading the comments: oh…

Oh no. Oh dear. I thought the Tories were usually so careful with conduct in private parties. I’m shocked and appalled.
Oh no he’s upset people who would ever vote for him and made him more appealing to those that would. Anyway
