Sunak was talking about biological sex, not gender identity. And Braverman wanting to bar sex offenders from changing their gender identity seems reasonable to me, as it could be abused by predators who are not genuinely trans, to gain access to vulnerable women. These are sex offenders, so I have no sympathy.
I do have sympathy with trans women wanting to be on a women’s NHS ward, but I can’t think of a solution.
> Sunak’s comments followed a conference in which multiple high-profile Tory members used their speech to attack trans people. Health secretary Steve Barclay said he would work towards a ban on trans women from female NHS wards.
Transwomen don’t feel comfortable in male spaces. Biological women don’t feel comfortable sharing their spaces with transwomen. You can’t please one group without displeasing the other. Either way you look at it, someone is going to be negatively affected by this.
> while home secretary Suella Braverman wanted to forbid sex offenders from changing genders.
Male sex offenders have used this in the past so that they end up in, arguably, safer women’s prisons. Safer for them, not so much for the women that are locked in with them.
>Della Wright wants sex offenders to be banned from changing their name once they are added to the register.She was abused at the age of six by Terry Price, who was sentenced in 2017 to 22 years in prison with a five-year extension after being found guilty of sex offences involving children.

The name change thing is nothing to do with LGBT issues. The above news outlet is just trying to turn something that most of the country will support, coming up with a way to prevent paedophiles dropping off the system, to be all about them being victims.
This call for a change in law is being pushed by victims of child rape.
Oh campaigners say do they? Well pack it up boys. That’s all the convincing I need.
Yet again, Rainbow Ragebait is just spreading fear to keep their readers afraid and engaged.
