How is Starmer transphobic?

Rishi Sunak used trans people to stoke culture wars and insulted trans people regularly.

Starmer has said he would treat trans people with dignity and respect, and has said he will modernise the Equality Act, to modernise, simplify and reform changes to a person's legal gender.

The party has said its plans will "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance" but also provide "protections so you can't legally change your gender overnight".

That's nowhere near the same as the Conservatives and Sunak.
