50% are people of colour
50% are women
50% are under 45
50% have a non upper class background
100% of them are ultra right wing bastards
Every single one of these candidates supported Priti Patel’s anti immigration laws.
They’re vocal in their transphobia, making it a main part of their platform.
A lot of them were part of BoJo’s cabinet, which oversaw hundreds of Britons having to choose between heating and food.
They attack those in poverty for relying on benefits but do nothing to stop the living crisis.
The Conservative Party’s leadership race is a brilliant example of how diversity quotas are meaningless if their politics are the all the same.

Published: Dec 7, 2023
Gender-affirming care for children could be considered “a new form of conversion therapy”, Kemi Badenoch has said.
The women and equalities minister made the claim as she confirmed plans to bring forward a bill to ban conversion practices, which seek to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
Research indicates about 7% of LGBT+ people have been offered or undergone such practices, and activists have been concerned about the scope of the ban since Theresa May first promised it in 2018.
Badenoch said the legislation had to address issues with gender-affirming care, which some critics argue is not the right approach for young people who are questioning their gender identity.
Badenoch addressed the case of Keira Bell, who began taking puberty blockers when she was 16 and then medically transitioned and had surgery to remove her breasts as an adult. She later regretted this and sued the Tavistock gender identity clinic where she had received treatment, arguing she had been too young to consent to treatment as a teenager. The court agreed but this ruling was overturned on appeal in 2021.
Badenoch told MPs: “Girls like Keira Bell who were rushed on to puberty blockers by the NHS, and had a double mastectomy, now regret the irreversible damage done to them. I believe this is a new form of conversion therapy”.
Clinicians working at the Tavistock clinic have previously told the Guardian that affirmative care does not have an inevitable outcome of transition. They have argued that instead it involves exploring and questioning a young person’s view of their identity.
Badenoch said doctors were “fearful of giving honest clinical advice to a child because if they do not automatically affirm and medicalise a child’s new gender they will be labelled transphobic, so whatever bill we do needs to address many of those issues and that is why we are going to publish a draft bill.”
She announced a “long overdue” update to a list of approved countries from which the UK will accept gender recognition certificates (GRCs).
Badenoch did not outline which countries would be removed, but her Labour counterpart, Anneliese Dodds, said while Germany remained and China had been added, “our closest Five Eyes allies” had been taken off. The Five Eyes alliance includes Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US.
Badenoch told the Commons: “We are doing this because there are some countries and territories on the list who have made changes to their systems and would not now be considered to have similarly rigorous systems [for awarding GRCs] as the UK. Inadvertently allowing self-ID for obtaining GRCs is not government policy. It should not be possible for a person who does not satisfy the criteria for UK legal gender recognition to use the overseas routes to do so.”
Dodds questioned whether the changes to the list would have any diplomatic impact, and criticised the government’s delay on issuing guidance for schools on whether transgender children in England will be supported to socially transition at school. This could mean a school recognising the child using a different name and pronoun, or authorising the use of different toilets and facilities.
Applications for a gender recognition certificate can be made by someone if they are aged 18 or over, have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria in the UK, have lived in their affirmed gender for at least two years and plan to live in this gender for the rest of their life.
Dodds criticised Badenoch’s statement, saying there had been “no conversion practices ban, no commitment to make every strand of hate crime an aggravated offence despite a staggering rise in offences against LGBT+ people and no provision to schools of the guidance that has been promises repeatedly but not delivered”.
==
They have argued that instead it involves exploring and questioning a young person’s view of their identity.
We know this is unambiguously false, because radical genderists got upset that the Cass report advised adopting exploratory therapy, which the genderists deliberately mislabel as "conversion therapy" to warn people away from interfering in their mind-body duality mysticism ideology.
Here's a paper that makes exactly this claim:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36068009/
Abstract
Opposition to gender-affirmative approaches to care for transgender youths by some clinicians has recently begun to consolidate around "gender exploratory therapy" as a proposed alternative. Whereas gender-affirmative approaches follow the client's lead when it comes to gender, gender-exploratory therapy discourages gender affirmation in favor of exploring through talk therapy the potential pathological roots of youths' trans identities or gender dysphoria. Few detailed descriptions of the approach's parameters have been offered. In this article, I invite clinicians to reflect on gender-exploratory therapy through a series of questions. The questions are followed by an exploration of the strong conceptual and narrative similarities between gender-exploratory therapy and conversion practices. Finally, the ethical dimensions of gender-exploratory therapy are discussed from the lenses of therapeutic neutrality, patient-centered care, loving attention, and therapeutic alliance, suggesting that the approach may be unethical.

"Kemi Badenoch: I have evidence gay young people are being told they are transgender."
Via the Telegraph:
Daniel Martin, Deputy Political Editor 6 February 2024 • 8:14pm
Minister quotes clinicians who believe helping a homosexual child change gender is in effect 'making them straight’
Mrs Badenoch prepared the evidence for the Commons women and equalities select committee Credit: WIKTOR SZYMANOWICZ/ANADOLU
Kemi Badenoch has told MPs she has strong evidence that gay young people are being convinced they are transgender instead.
The equalities minister quoted experts who said children likely to grow up to be same-sex attracted “might be subjected to conversion practices which persuade them to change gender."
In a letter to the Commons women and equalities select committee, she revealed a former clinician at the NHS Tavistock child gender identity clinic had said that in agreeing to requests to help children change gender, they were in fact “making them straight."
Another said that agreeing to help a homosexual child change gender was in effect “conversion therapy for gay kids."
Mrs Badenoch agreed to write to the committee to provide the evidence following an appearance before them last month.
Her letter shows that the number of children in England going to the NHS Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) has soared from 250 in 2011-12 to more than 5,000 in 2021-22.
She wrote: “I committed to providing further details on the evidence that children likely to grow up to be gay (same-sex attracted) might be subjected to conversion practices on the basis of gender identity rather than their sexual orientation.
“Both prospective and retrospective studies have found a link between gender non-conformity in childhood and someone later coming out as gay.
“A young person and their family may notice that they are gender non-conforming earlier than they are aware of their developing sexual orientation. If gender non-conformity is misinterpreted as evidence of being transgender and a child is medically affirmed, the child may not have had a chance to identify, come to terms with or explore a same-sex orientation."
She cited the Dutch founders of a medical gender transition service from 1999, who stated: “Not all children with GID (gender identity disorder) turn out to be transsexuals after puberty…
“Prospective studies of GID boys show that this phenomenon is more strongly related to later homosexuality than to later transsexualism."
One of the same authors said in 2012: “Follow-up studies have demonstrated that only a small proportion of gender dysphoric children become transsexual at a later age, that a much larger proportion have a homosexual sexual orientation without any gender dysphoria."
‘Reparative therapy against gay people’
Mrs Badenoch also pointed to English data from GIDS, showing that older patients expressing a sexual orientation were overwhelmingly lesbian, gay or bisexual.
For example, 68 per cent of adolescent female patients were recorded as being attracted to other females only, 21 per cent were bisexual and just 9 per cent were heterosexual.
Among adolescent male patients, 42 per cent were attracted only to other males, 38 per cent were bisexual and 19 per cent were only attracted to females.
She said she was aware of “troubling accounts" that some clinicians are hesitant to work in gender identity services because they feel under pressure to adopt an unquestioning affirmative approach.
She quoted Dr Natasha Prescott, a former GIDS clinician, who said in her exit interview from the Tavistock that “there is increasing concern that gender affirmative therapy, if applied unthinkingly, is reparative therapy against gay individuals, i.e. by making them straight."
Dr Matt Bristow, a former GIDS clinician, said he had come to feel that GIDS was performing “conversion therapy for gay kids."
Tavistock was closed two years ago.
‘Discover sexuality on own timescale’
The minister also quoted a survey of 100 “detransitioners" – people who have changed gender but then regretted it – which found the experience of homophobia or difficulty accepting themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual was expressed by 23 per cent of respondents as a reason for transition and subsequent detransition.
She quoted one German gender clinic as stating: “It must be understood that early hormone therapy may interfere with the patient’s development as a homosexual.
“This may not be in the interest of patients who, as a result of hormone therapy, can no longer have the decisive experiences that enable them to establish a homosexual identity."
Bev Jackson, co-founder of the LGB Alliance, said: “LGB Alliance is delighted that the minister for equalities has recognised the concerns that we have been raising for a long time.
“The evidence is clear. The vast majority of young people being put onto irreversible medical pathways are attracted to their own sex.
“We are literally ‘transing the gay away’ when we should be helping them to understand and accept their sexuality and grow up to live happy, healthy lives as lesbians, gay men or bisexuals."
Helen Joyce, from the women’s rights group Sex Matters, said: “It has been well-established for decades that children destined to grow up gay are far more likely than other children to be highly gender non-conforming in early youth.
“Such children need to be allowed to grow up in a safe, supportive environment, and to be allowed to discover their sexuality on their own timescale.
“Instead, trans ideology interprets gender non-conformity as a potential sign of a trans identity. This tragically misguided framing is today’s version of the historic atrocities of gay conversion therapy."

For those of you who don't know, the UK government came up with a school guidance for transgender youth in December. This could put a lot of people at risk since it allows schools to out trans children to their parents, prevent trans kids from socially transitioning as well as let teachers refuse to respect a child's gender identity among other things. There's a consultation that you can answer online here to stop this from getting passed. There's 3 hrs until it closes so please answer if you can! Stonewall UK has released a guide on how to best answer the consultation questions. You can read the full guidance they want to put in place but here are some highlights:
And of course, lovely quotes from the person who wrote this:
Please go and answer the consultation if you can, even if it's just the yes or no questions. This shit goes against the Equality Act 2010 and the Keep Children Safe In Education (KCSIE) 2023 so it's pretty damn illegal. Don't let them get away with it.

‘Transphobic bullying is rife’: a 15-year-old trans boy’s view of coming out at school
“When I started secondary school I was allowed to use the disabled toilet but the lock on the door didn’t work and it didn’t feel safe. I was badly bullied and my mental health plummeted so I stopped attending and was home schooled for a year. Now I’ve joined a 14-16-year-olds GCSE equivalent group at my local college. I’d hoped things would be different there but people still laugh and make up rumours about me.
“My secondary school counsellor always said to me she’d deal with my bullies ‘by the book’, but that really meant she was worried about red flags for Ofsted rather than reassuring me that it wasn’t OK to abuse me just because I’m trans.
“Transphobic bullying is rampant and I think 100% this guidance only fuels that fire. If I’d been able to exist in my school as a trans kid from the beginning, nobody would have complained because I wasn’t asking for anything special. The only reason other kids saw the difference was because it was pointed out to them.
“It’s inexcusable to say a child needs to have permission to experiment with their name or wardrobe. Cis kids do that all the time without their parents being informed.
“The politicians behind this guidance don’t know what it is to be trans, they’ve never listened to a trans voice so they don’t know what damage it will cause.”

what really fucking irritates me about all the transphobia in the British media right now is that I guarantee the Tories and, largely, the British public do not give as much of a shit as they've lead the media to believe. Are they transphobic? Abso-fucking-lutely, because the Tories hate anything that deviates from the norm because otherwise they would struggle to maintain control as the upper class bastards they are, and I don't doubt there are individuals (looking at you, Kemi Badenoch) who are unhinged enough to believe that trans people are violent predators lurking in bathrooms to attack cis women, but by-and-large most of these people probably wouldn't be able to tell a fucking trans person apart in a line up. They only care about control, and if that control means wielding one of the Hot Topics of the times (aka should we treat trans people with basic human rights) as a shitty sword they're going to fucking do it.
Much easier to use something people don't understand well enough to combat against - I mean, I'm not going to lie to you as a trans person I didn't even fully understand trans issues until I went to college and got my butt thoroughly kicked into gear - when there is so much other shit going on they could be fixing and are undoubtedly being criticised for. The blocking of the GRA reform in Scotland is only like 10% about trans people from transphobes, and 90% about maintaining control of the status quo. If they look like they're doing something - "see, we're keeping those violent nasty trans people away from good respectable normal people!" - people are less likely to pay attention to the other heinous nasty stuff that they're doing (such as underfunding the NHS, for example, despite promising millions after Brexit, or how about when they changed the law regarding protests that basically allow the police to arrest protestors for no reason, or the shipping of immigrants to Rwanda despite human rights organisations best efforts).
It is all about control.

Future Leader of The Conservative Party?
Kemi Badenoch, a far right Tory, is a firm favourite to take over from Rishi Sunak as leader of the Conservative Party. She is very concerned about honesty and openness, and rarely misses an opportunity to tell her audiences that “It is time to tell the truth”. For Ms Badenoch, politicians need to stand up and tell the truth because the public is “crying out for honesty”. (The Standard: 12/07/22)
Quite right Ms Badenoch. We do want the truth.
Yet, the Guardian carried this headline only two days ago regarding Badenoch’s relationship with the truth.
"...the truth is an insult to the ever-outraged Kemi Badenoch. The business secretary is a passionate defender of free speech apart from any criticism of her." (19/02/24)
The former chairman of the Post Office, Henry Staunton, who was sacked by the business secretary Kemi Badenoch last month, has claimed he received instructions from a senior government official to slow down compensation payments for sub-postmasters to allow the government time to “limp into” the next election.
Ms Badenoch vigorously denied this was the case and, using Parliamentary privilege, attacked Mr Staunton’s revelations as “full of lies”.
Today Mr Staunton has produced evidence that he was told to “hobble" up to the general election and to delay compensation payments as "now was not the time for dealing with long term issues.” (The I: 21/02/24)
The word “hobble" certainly implies that Mr Staunton was told to delay payments to sub postmasters and mistresses, but it is still a “she said - he said” argument, and who you believe will probably depend upon your political view point.
Less problematic in establishing whether Ms Badenoch is really the champion of truth that she claims to be, is evidence from the Canadian High Commission.
Badenoch, as Business Secretary, recently told the House of Commons that trade talks with Canada were “ongoing”. This is not true say the Canadians, causing Liam Byrne, Chair of the Commons Business and Trade Select Committee, to demand of Ms Badenoch why the Canadian account of the talks is:
“so utterly at variance with what she told the House of Commons.”
Maybe the right-wing Ms Badenoch is not as honest or as concerned with telling the truth as she claims?
