SNP’s Mhairi Black urges politicians to ‘leave trans people the hell alone’

Outgoing SNP MP Mhairi Black said trans people deserve to live with dignity and happiness and that politicians should stop picking on them.

Speaking at an Edinburgh Festival Fringe event, the Scottish National Party MP said that people should not be made into an “intellectual debate”.

“Being trans is not something to be feared. It’s just an aspect of a human being, the same way being gay is just an aspect of who I am,” she went on.
