I'm not even convinced she's a real transphobe - I think she's willing to say anything that gets her closer to power. (Which makes her just as bad, of course)

[cmcmck]

Throughout her career she's come over with whatever she thinks will take her furthest.
The very worst sort of politician as she clearly doesn't care a jot what damage her comments do and most of the transphobic ones have been aimed at trans kids and their parents.

[andrewducker]

Yup! Throwing trans kids under the bus really isn't a good look.

[cmcmck]

Considerably worse looking that throwing your chancellor under one and that was bad enough!

[dewline]

Either of those situations is Horrific.
