The Trans Pride march in London yesterday was welcomed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan:
I want to wish everyone at London Trans Pride today a joyful, safe and empowering day.
It's never been more important to support trans people, who are being stigmatised and placed at the heart of a toxic culture war.
As your Mayor, I will always be on your side.🏳️⚧️

Oddly, there was no sign of this stigmatisation on the march: no crowds of hecklers shouting them down, as happens every time women try to get together to speak about their issues – when crowds of violent (mostly) men in black face coverings shout and threaten.
On the other hand there was this:

It's almost as though Khan's beloved trans people are not the victims of a "toxic culture war", but are, in fact, the instigators.
