Sadiq Khan divided Twitter users after posting a tweet that announced trans women are women, and trans men are men, as he celebrated LGBT history month.
Laurence Fox fired back: “Trans women are trans women. Trans men are trans men. People tend to be more interested in what you are, rather than what you are not. Wrapping up regressive authoritarianism in pretty paper doesn’t make it a more appealing presentation. Not all mayors are virtue-signalling muppets.”
The Mayor is a known advocate of LGBTQ issues, in the past, he shared an open letter that schools should teach children same-sex relations and provide pro-LGBT lessons.
The Mayor wrote: “I believe young people should be able to learn about healthy relationships of all kinds at school, and that includes LGBT+ relationships. To do so is the very basis of our decency as a society.
“This will properly equip students to make safe and informed decisions show that LGBT+ relationships are part of everyday life, and ensure that all Londoners can feel proud of who they are.”
Mr Khan appeared at LGBT Pride in London in 2019, and called the LGBT community an “antidote to sadness.”
Fox last clashed with the current Mayor when he chose an “inclusive” poster featuring BAME women and men to win the TFL Diversity in Advertising Competition.
