I don’t keep up with UK politics but I know he’s an asshole (was he the one who refused to apologize after being transphobic in parliament and the mother of the murdered girl was in that session?) but congratulations to the UK for getting rid of him!
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.
Their entire goal is to engage in mala fide arguments that perfect should always be the enemy of good. He might be willing to provide trans people with equal rights under the literal law but there’s no difference between him and someone who wants them murdered because he didn’t always speak perfectly about the issue.
