If you are transgender and despaired at reading all this, I can only apologise. However, as a community, we will get through it. We are being made the focus of the tory leadership race to distract from the real societal problems such as the cost of living crisis because they have no solutions.

Transgender people existed long before they were elected, and we’ll be around after they leave government. We will win.

Jayne Ozanne writes in Pink News that Penny Mordaunt is "by far and away the best" candidate and that Jayne believes Penny "is a true champion of all the LGBT+ community". Which is just wrong.

Clearly you're fine with sticking the knife in ours if it means you don't have to look over your shoulder so much any more.
