Dawn Butler accused David Davies of being insensitive. When pressed, she said this was because he said people were 'unfortunate' if they had gender dysphoria. She compared this to saying people were unfortunate if they were gay or black.
So is it reasonable to say that people who have a medical diagnosis of a condition are unfortunate to have that medical condition? Isn't it unfortunate if you think you are 'born in the wrong body'? Isn't that why we're supposed to have sympathy for trans people?
The comparison with being gay or being black is not the right comparison to make. Wouldn't a more appropriate comparison be with someone who has a disability or a medical condition, since sometimes for such people special accommodations have to be made because of their disability or condition? And would it be wrong to say that they are 'unfortunate' to have that condition?
