The Daily Mail seem determined to block Penny Mourdant from becoming the Conservative Party’s next leader – and therefore the UK’s next Prime Minister – as they target her once again using her previous stance on trans rights.
With former Prime Minister Boris Johnson forced into resigning after countless scandals and horrific behaviours, Tory PM candidates transphobia card is being played by all but one.
I see this for what it is, a cynical political move designed to support the (now successful) ousting of a crap Prime Minister by those like Mike Freer. It has nothing to do with constituents, supporters, LGBT+ people, diversity or Margaret Thatcher’s evil bones. It has everything to do with playing the game and making sure there’s still a Tory party after the end of all this scandal. All so they can all keep their nice cushy jobs blowing smoke up each other’s arses and paying lip-service to their job titles.

Fairness in sports is important, but it will never be achieved through bigoted nonsense like the kind advanced by the BBC in this piece. I would say the BBC should know better, but we already know it doesn’t. Its happy to join the bandwagon of anti-trans sensationalism for the sake of a few clicks. You know, the usual horrific bigot crap our community has come to expect from media giants around the world.
Speaking to a Daily Mail report in Welwyn Garden City, Johnson said he was sad about the decision made by the LGBTQIA+ sector to boycott Government. He asserts his allyship, noting his involvement in passing the gay marriage bill and being enthused about flying pride flags over government buildings even in countries that don’t share ‘our values’. He did not comment on his infamously homophobic statements, such as “tank-topped bumboys”.
