“We shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be – they can’t,” Sunak said. “A man is a man and a woman is a woman. That’s just common sense.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Dad’s One Simple Question Continually Stumps Radical Transgender Activists)
U.K. Health Secretary Steve Barclay proposed a plan in early October that would, among other things, bar transgender patients from receiving care in male- and female-only wards in English hospitals.
Sunak seemed to touch on the proposal during his speech, telling conference-goers “it … shouldn’t be controversial for parents to know what their children are being taught in school about relationships. Patients should know when hospitals are talking about men or women.”
