UK prime minister Rishi Sunak has shared his anti-trans views while speaking at the Conservative Party Conference. The Conservative party leader told the predominantly right-wing crowd that the British public is being “bullied” into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. He said, “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, that’s just common sense,” on which he received a round of applause from Tory MPs, conservative members, and others in the audience. His comments have been widely reviled by members of the public, many of whom said they couldn’t believe him making such claims. According to statistics from the Home Office, 2021 saw at least 2,630 reported hate crimes against transgender people in the UK. Eighty-three percent of trans people have said they do not report hate crimes out of fear. His speech also touched upon recently announced plans to ban trans women from female hospital wards, saying that patients should know when hospitals are talking about men or women. This is not the first time that Sunak has attacked the trans and non-binary community, often using the subject as a joke for the entertainment of Conservative party members. In June, Sunak was secretly filmed mocking trans people in a clip, joking about women having penises. #Queer Up Politics
