At an LGBT event on Friday, the beloved Doctor Who star stated that, although he “does not wish ill” for the Conservative cabinet minister, “I just wish her to shut up.”.
Ms. Badenoch, who is leading the Conservative Party’s election campaign, has supported the Equalities Act’s clarification that “that sex means biological sex.” This move could make it possible for trans women to be excluded from women-only areas.
In response to Tennant’s comments, Mr. Sunak stated this morning on the social networking site X: “Our democracy’s most potent attribute is freedom of speech.
You are the issue if you’re wishing women didn’t exist and telling them to shut up.”
In response to the actor’s remarks, Ms. Badenoch has already criticized him, calling him a “rich, lefty, white male celebrity so blinded by ideology” in a Tuesday social media post.
“I won’t stop talking,” she wrote. Men who put the plaudits from Stonewall, an LGBTQ+ rights charity, before the security of women and girls will not quiet me.
“A wealthy, liberal, white male celebrity who is so overcome with ideology that he fails to recognize the irony of openly criticizing the sole black woman in government and demanding my removal from office.
