Sophie Ellis-Bextor slams anti-trans activists who ‘make trans people their whole personality’. In an interview with The Independent, Sophie expressed her deep disappointment and frustration with anti-LGBTQ+ discourse on platforms like X. “These people make trans people their whole personality and spend their entire day checking their socials and being angry, whereas trans people themselves just want to be under the radar and live their lives,” she said. “There was a time when Pride felt like a celebration of all the shoulders that people were able to stand on, but now it feels like it's an absolute political necessity,” Ellis-Bextor continued. “I suppose you have to be optimistic that things will get better again, but I do get very down about it.” She explained that her strategy for dealing with the increase in transphobic views is to "turn down the volume" on those voices and use her own platform to amplify others. #SophieEllisBextor #LGBTQNews #Ally #TransNews #TransAlly
