You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Or there's a chance he did it on purpose, because he's a religious fundamentalist and 89 years old.

Either way: why do any of us care?

Edit: Alright, so, thought; he repeated it because he's not a native speaker of italian... and someone (or multiple someones.) in his entourage used it so often that he thought it was the correct word.

That's not better, but it's a plausible reason.

Hopefully, some potentially good news in the UK for the trans community.

Now he’s a minister, he’s banning elements of trans healthcare. He’s a “gender critical” as well. Labour are at least as transphobic as the Tories were in power.

The claim originated in a now-deleted X post by user Paul Hookem, who had said, “Anyone wondering why they aren’t using this photo of the shooter?” They posted a picture of a transgender woman who vaguely resembled shooter Matthew Thomas Crook.
Homegirl 'bout to get paid!

Despite her having nothing to do with the shooting, Hookem’s post with her picture went viral, receiving millions of views and even being shared by prominent conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones.
Damn, bro, don't you owe enough people money?

The number of transgender people living in the UK may have been overestimated by the 2021 census, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has confirmed.

Following the survey in England and Wales, it was reported that around one in 200 people aged over 16 self-identified as a different gender to their sex at birth.

However, a review found that people who do not speak fluent English may have misunderstood the wording of the relevant question and mistakenly answered that they consider themselves to be trans...

A small step forward for Japan.


Japan remains the only Group of Seven major industrialized country [sic] that has not legalized same-sex marriage or civil unions, despite growing pressure from the LGBT community and its supporters.

They used "Gender Identity Disorder" in the article, but I think the correct term is "gender dysphoria"?

Anyway, thanks for the article. It's sad in many places but one thing that was interesting to me was that there was a transgender Republican representative (who was unfortunately silenced when she spoke out against anti-trans legislation). I suppose, even in a small way, that not all Republicans are the same?

Did you mean Zooey Zephyr? She's a Democrat.

Yea, Zooey Zephyr, while from a red state, is no Republican. She also won her bid for re-election so when Montana's next legislative session starts, she will no longer be censured(at least until she defends her trans brothers and sisters again).

Ohh, sorry, whenever I see "rep.", I think it's "Republican" rather than "representative". Whoops, sorry. Maybe Americans think all British Members of Parliament are military police officers? ;)


Well, at least the Republicans have at least one trans member...
