British Prime minister attack’s LGBTQ community, says a man cannot become a woman
On October 4, 2023, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made controversial comments during his closing speech at the 2023 Conservative Party conference. He expressed his stance on the gender debate, stating that “a man is a man and a woman is a woman.” Sunak argued against the idea that people can change their sex and emphasized the importance of common sense.
While some individuals supported his views, many criticized him for being disrespectful to the transgender community. Some accused him of lacking a clear understanding of the distinction between sex and gender.
These remarks by Sunak followed a proposal by Health Secretary Steve Barclay on October 3 to ban transgender women from receiving treatment in female hospital wards in England.
