All the news on his speech seems to be about HS2 but I think that this is important too.

    but refuse to use preferred pronouns?

    This requires some obsession on the part of the person who would have to try to learn everyone’s gender and sex just so they can purposefully identify and misgender this trans person.

      It’s usually quite obvious what someone’s sex and gender are.

        That’s only how it feels, as you only notice it at all on people where it is “obvious”. And even then, people get it wrong, cis people have been harassed by transphobes often enough. Just be nice.

          I would bet you a significant amount of money that in a line up of humans I could get more than 95% accurate. I think even a young child could.

            Yeah I mean you can get 95% by just saying everyone is cis, that’s just not an schievement
