I must admit that I didn’t actually watch Rishi Sunak’s speech yesterday – the headlines were enough for me to go on. I knew that if I stayed in and watched it, it would just enflame me, and I’d probably end up shouting at my screen. Thus it wasn’t until I watched the late evening news that I caught up with anything else he spouted, and it immediately made my blood boil with rage. How that scumbag has the gall to stand there and spout discriminatory, transphobic bile is beyond me. Of course, he was obviously trying to appeal to the Mail and Express reading halfwits who are the only way he’ll ever get reelected; but they are too dim and narrow-minded to understand the modern world. In 2023, any educated person understands that humanity is a diverse rich tapestry, in which former gender boundaries can be overcome and anyone is free to identify as any gender they feel closest to. It now seems we are being governed by a vile, anachronistic group of charlatans which refuses to understand that, and which demands that everyone else conforms to their narrow-minded values. Surely we, as a community, are better than this; surely we deserve leaders with more foresight and understanding, not a group of intolerant bigots totally out of touch with contemporary society.
