    obviously human rights apply to everyone including transgender people.

    I’m not going to get bent out of shape on that statement. It isn’t doubling down or escalating like the folks still sending death threats over shit like neopronouns.

      I think it’s more the evasion and unwillingness to show support for trans rights, which should be easy. The fact he is hesitant or worried to show support indicates he thinks there is something wrong with the view that trans women are women, etc.

        I’m sure this whole “support trans people without question or thought” thing is going to work out spectacularly. Definitely not pushing away allies left and right.
