I guess I should have known back in 2020 when he refused to sign those trans pledges. He was only my second-preference vote, but I’ll cop to being overly optimistic about his intentions.
Anyway fuck him. Party politics as a means to achieving gains for trans people appears to be over, for the time being.
But I’m not despairing - those young trans people who protested at NHS England were really inspiring. Immensely proud of them.
I knew in 2019, when he started his run for leader. He did a mumsnet interview and his answers were very much meant to appease them.
I decided there and then, if he won the leadership I would cancel my membership and not vote Labour while he is in charge.
