Rishi Sunak says 'misgendering transgender people is common sense' in conference speech

[SylverReZ]

Ok, so this story really pissed me off big time. Rishi Sunak is again spreading his anti-LGBT agenda to the tory party by stating that "A man is a man, a woman is a woman, that's just common sense". No-one like him should be hurting my country like this to spread more hate crimes towards our people. Can we just kill this man already?

Rishi Sunak is a piece of shit.

The Tories are doing this culture war bullshit to stay in power because they have nothing to offer and no success they can point to. A vile disgusting set of people who are happy to incite hate against vulnerable groups.

Fuck labour on this as well. This feels like a repeat of how gay and lesbian people,were demonised in the 80s and 90s.

I have no remorse for Rishi whatsoever. He once said that "Prejudice against transphobia is wrong", and now he's welcoming his shear amount of horrible views onto our people. The tories feel like a massive cult, similar to the KKK, but instead of hating black people we're hating on people of all genders.

Of course...it's not like he can campaign on the great job he and the Tories have been doing lately. Transphobia is just "ol' reliable" for conservatives globally right now.

Personally, I'd hope people would forgive me for accidentally misgendering them - like, say a trans woman hasn't had hormone-replacement therapy yet, and thus still looks like a man, and I didn't know they were trans so I (without malice, just unaware) called her a 'sir' or 'he'. That sort of accidental misgendering based off being unaware shouldn't automatically land me in trouble, especially if I apologise and try to correct the flub in future.

If it's being maliciously, purposefully done, then yeah that's offensive - like if someone keeps calling the hypothetical trans woman using male pronouns despite numerous reminders and warnings, just refusing to accept it.

Accidentally misgendering is okay. Unless it is used constantly, in a transphobic or derogatory way.

It’s legit impressive how you rarely find a single Conservative candidate video without transphobia in it. Honestly, Conservatives are more obsessed with girldick than I am, and that’s saying something

There are a lot of morons, you can't get triggered each time each one sez something stupid. Or even create a thread about it.

I agree that there is a level of culture that will never truly adapt; but that is a morbidity on par with racism :/

Dude, Sunak isn't some random guy, he's a head of government. His position in society means what he says is notable and worthy of discussion.

Random guy to me, morons are all the same anyway. Here is Russia we say 'if a man is dumb, it's gonna last for a long time'.

Honestly the man is a cancerous tumour and the UK is terminal. Fuck him and fuck the tory scum.

Transphobia is particularly strong in the UK. Even the BBC has a transphobic history.
