Focusing on trans ideology or opposition to it is like prioritising the needs and desires of people who don’t believe in the existence of birds. There are so few people affected that it’s statistically irrelevant to the running of Manchester. Another headline could be “Craig refuses to be drawn on fringe ideology promising instead to focus on the matters most important to the people she represents”

I’m glad I’m an ideology to be debated, instead of a real fucking being. That way, I can be dismissed and shoved to the back of someone’s mind.

‘Trans ideology’ also called basic human rights, is certainly something to focus on. Simply because a group is a minority, does not justify ignoring their needs.

As the article also states

Craig has previously spoken out in support of LGBTQ+ rights. During her mayoral campaign, she said she had spent her career fighting for LGBTQ+ equality and insisted it was possible to support both women’s services and trans communities without “throwing our trans communities under the bus”.

LGBTQ+ peoples are 7% of the population, luckily Bev Craig doesn’t ignore them or dismiss it as ‘fringe ideology’ like some right wing twat.

You’d probably like to know major quickly deflected it by saying she’s not checking everyone’s private parts. She’s not a weirdo to indulge in invented problems and waste time. Trans people are just people and “trans ideology” is the one that demonizes them 24/7 while surprising amount of people wouldn’t otherwise have any opinion about what they do and get all worked up about that.

If a yone doesn’t have equal rights, nobody has them.
