Yet another moment in British politics that has flooded me with anger and upset, followed by despair that there’s nothing I can do to rid us of malevolent, hateful bigots like Rishi Sunak.
It’s not even like he was caught unawares doing his usual schtick without realising Ms Ghey was present. Not that it would be OK anyway. But Starmer literally introduced her at the start of PMQs. Grotesque. Absolutely grotesque.
For Brianna’s mother’s sake, I’m relieved that Sunak used the correct pronouns when he spoke about Brianna at the end. However, what does it say about Sunak and this bullshit, culture war transphobia that he did use the correct pronouns for Brianna?
The whole thrust of the attack was to imply that Starmer doesn’t know what a woman is but then when it’s convenient, Sunak tacitly agrees with Starmer that Brianna was a woman.
I’d almost have more sympathy for Sunak if I thought he was a misinformed transphobe. I resent him more because I don’t believe he genuinely cares, like some do. I have never had any reason to believe he thinks there is any problem with trans people. Yet, he is willing to endanger the lives of these beleaguered, threatened innocent people, for what? For the fucking Conservative and Unionist party. A reprehensible institution that has done infinitely more damage in the real world than any trans person has caused in the most batshit, unhinged nightmares of a Mail Online commenter.
Look! Over there! The poor people have all the money.
