The new UK Health Secretary reassuring Telegraph journalists that he's transphobic enough for them. Why did he change his mind? Because throwing trans people under the bus is cheap politics for the Labour Party.

CAMILLA TOMINEY: You were quite pro-trans. You’ve appeared in campaigns and things. I mean, do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously. It’s an important question for a health secretary to answer.

JAMES MURRAY: No, I don’t.

CAMILLA TOMINEY: So you’ve changed your mind.

JAMES MURRAY: Yes.

CAMILLA TOMINEY: Why have you changed your mind?

JAMES MURRAY: Well, I think a lot of us have been thinking about this issue over recent years. And, you know, I wouldn’t now say that, for instance, trans women are women. I think that biological sex is important.
