    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.
