seeing the only time a trans person is humanised by either parties politicians or lobby journalists, be having the the mother of a young girl who was murdered, in part by the vicious, transphobic policy and reporting all people in and around that house have circulated for years, makes them all, regardless of party, look like pond scum tbqh.
i hope this is a turning point for them all, who have agreed on voxpops and policy, that trans children can't know they're trans, that trans women are a danger to women, that a "debate" over trans people and their right to be recognised is needed, that trans people should be seperated in various public spaces, in a bi partisan fashion, to start reversing these views in policy and media.
Indeed. I thought that Sturgeon was right to point out that if Breanna's mother was not there nobody, on either side, would have batted an eyelid.

I’d disagree with Sturgeon on that. No one has been good at it, agreed, but it’s been front page news all week. Another reason to suggest Rishi doesn’t get it.

agreed, i think one of the wild parts of all this is what sunak said is probably the mildest version of this transphobia which has come out of either leaders / parties mouth, or the policy they support in recent years.
that esther could have been hearing things like this about her daughter, from both parties for years, chances are brianna, as a trans girl online, was also hearing them too prior to her murder, part of parcel why her mother was in the commons today looking for further protection.
many condeming rishis comments due to her mothers presence, rejected and mocked, a policy to allow trans children to be recognised, with the government battling it in court and starmer himself saying people of briannas age could not possibly be trans (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64281548). this does not come from school yard bullies, this comes from the leaders of our nation, teens read this on their phones.
as kl says, it's weekly, so this outrage now her mother is in front of them seems so shamlessly oppertunistic one can only assume what they're upset about is rishis manners, not his transphobia, or their own.

if we can see this so clearly when confronted with the tragic murder of a trans child, we should see it for the children and adults who are still alive.
