   My theory is that Kemi Badenoch is a deeply closeted trans man, and that's festered into a deep hatred of women.

   Trans women especially draw his ire both for doing what he's unable to do, and embracing that which disgusts him.

   Kemi, my dude, resign, get therapy, and transition.

     @Pandora being trans does not make them our siblings

     @ryanc lots of transphobes have this vibe, but do we need more shitty "siblings" like Caitlyn J. or Buck A. ?

     @ryanc I mean no disrespect and I know nothing of this Kemi Badenoch individual, but how is this questioning of someone else's gender identity any different from deadnaming or intentionally mis-gendering then? This feels icky.

     @xabean Kemi is a major driving force for anti-trans bigotry within the UK's conservative party, took over defending against my lawsuit when the gender recognition panel was content to let me win by default, and has taken legislative action to retaliate me.

     Kemi was just announced as the new party leader.

     I am pissed, and honestly, it's less upsetting for me to believe that this hatred is projected self-loathing than it is to consider alternatives.

     @xabean Given the context, speculating about whether Kemi is a closeted trans person feels equivalent to speculating that an anti-gay politician is a closeted gay person, and that is what I attempting to evoke.

     It's at least a little icky, but still feels very different from deadnaming/misgendering a shitty conservative who has transitioned (or started) like Caitlyn Jenner.

     I don't know. As I said, I'm pissed.

     While I'm here, fuck Wikipedia's policy of deadnaming people.

     @xabean (also, for what it's worth, calling me out on this is very reasonable)

     @ryanc you have every right to be fucking pissed about someone trying to deny you your existence.
