Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made a series of bold remarks about transgender issues and it’s raising eyebrows.
The British Prime Minister failed to hold back his comments as he declared the inclusion of biological males in female sports as totally unjustified.
But Mr. Johnson didn’t stop there. He continued to speak about how important it was for so many parents to understand that young children were not competent enough to make decisions regarding their gender.
“The parents need to have some involvement, at the very least. After all, it’s a huge decision and needs their input”- he continued.
The sudden intervention of the Prime Minister comes at a time when Tory reportedly split over the ban regarding conversion therapy, moments after they made some major u-turns.
Mr. Johnson said he fully supported the ban on the abhorrent practice that involved gay men and women but not for the trans community.
Speaking to broadcasters today in a recent interview, the Prime Minister revealed how biological men had no business at all to participate in events that were solely designed for women.
“I do not support the abhorrent practice of making gay people heterosexual”- he continued.
The decisions of the Prime Minister are being met with great backlash as many felt he had a softer corner for gay people than he did for the trans community.
Sources revealed how Mr. Johnson did not speak too much on the topic but when he did, he made it very clear what his stance on the entire matter was.
“We will have a ban on gay conversion therapy which is highly unacceptable. But when you move from the area of sexuality to gender, it gets really complicated and there’s a lot to take into consideration”- he continues.
And by that, the Prime Minister was referring to complexities and sensitivities when the topic of trans individuals comes forward.
