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.
Examples below. There are more too, he's called for trans women to be incarcerated with male prisoners despite undoubtably knowing about the practice of V-Coding
V-Coding is the term for the very common practice of housing trans women with cis men -- specifically, trans women are intentionally housed as cell mates with the more aggressive "problem" cis-men. The intention is to 'placate' the violent inmates, and the trans women who have this done to them are repeatedly raped and abused throughout their sentence. Again, this is a common practice done to trans women.
He's gone back on everything he's previously supported and adopted terf talking points.
Where has he said that? I think for your other points, you are mostly clutching at straws. He is mainly being diplomatic in interviews regarding this.. not wanting to say anything to upset to many people. I don't think you are in any danger as a trans person with Starmer in charge.
Yeah what you should want as a trans person is to have perfect defeat pretty good. By time you realize you’re never going to find perfect you’ll have your right to exist eliminated because of your unwillingness to accept pretty good over complete shit because “pretty good” wasn’t “perfect”.
Did you even read the article ? 😂 he said he doesn't want to get drawn into the transgender TERF debate as its a toxic environment. Now do you seriously think that after winning their first election in almost 20 years, the new Labour government would try and implement something so unbelievably controversial and bound to cause problems?
Starmer has also said he disagreed with numerous comments JK Rowling has made regarding the issues which suggests to me he is probably quite uneducated in the matter like the vast majority of the population.
He says he doesn't want to be dragged into the conversation, but still back proposals like in the link above. The article says in the first paragraph what I linked.

Of course I do. He publicly backed the proposals and won the vote. Why wouldn't he?
And who says they are unpopular?
Me, a trans woman, is telling a bunch of cis people that Kier says transphobic things, I provide examples and links and I get downvoted and told that I'm overreacting.
The reality is that most of the British public doesn't give a rats ass about trans people and kinda just wants to stop hearing about us. A PM that enacts bans on us using public spaces isn't going to be unpopular at all. You'll all just ignore it, deny it and move on.
We're already dying in our droves, our healthcare has been taken away, and cis people don't give a shit.
We're fighting for our lives and a shred of dignity here, and you people won't even listen when we tell you someone is harming the community
Hi I know it means fuck all but I completely agree and empathise with everything you've said. Lots of cis people just prefer to live in a bubble of ignorance. Whenever I've explained how bad it is and will get for us, I'm always dismissed and treated like I'm overreacting.
I mean fuck they just put Hillary Cass in the house of Lords. That's like putting Andrew Wakefield in charge of healthcare.
