Tories' debate on gender is labelled as 'curated hatred'

A CONSERVATIVE politician has criticised a session on gender identity at the Conservative Party Conference as “curated hatred’, after he heckled the panel including former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies.
-
Andrew Boff, who has been a Tory assembly member since 2008 and led the party in the body for three years, shouted that the views being presented were “one sided” and the discussion had wrongly been billed as a “debate”
Mr Boff, who wore a T-shirt which said “Trans Rights are Human Rights’, told the PA News agency afterwards: “It was curated hatred.”
He added: “It wasn’t really a debate; it was curated hatred.
There were no voices from trans people on stage, there were no voices from the other side of the argument, and I felt I needed to address the imbalance in that debate.
