It is safe to say that among all the Brexit drama, Twitter has been going pretty wild.
So it comes as no surprise that Piers Morgan also had to contribute to the discussion with yet another, irrelevant, and tone-deaf comment relating specifically to gender.
In the early hours of the morning, the Good Morning Britain presenter tweeted:
Britain is in total disarray & needs a proper leader. Who IS that man, woman....... or gender fluid person?
Britain is in total disarray & needs a proper leader. Who IS that man, woman....... or gender fluid person?— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1542273765
It seems that Morgan, who has repeatedly used the platform to rant about gender-fluid, non-binary or transgender people, has a strange obsession with insulting the community.
Let us not forget about the time he bullied Caitlyn Jenner after her reassignment surgery. Or when he accused L'Oreal trans model Munroe Bergdorf of "playing the victim". You get the point.
But don't fret! Because the controversial presenter followed up his tweet with his personal solution to the Brexit leadership problem, writing:
What Britain needs is a strong PM. I’m available.
What Britain needs is a strong PM. I’m available. 💪 #PMforPM— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1542277468
To which, as you can imagine, he got some pretty funny responses.
Some were all for the idea.
@piersmorgan Got my vote Piers #PMforPM 💪🏽— JH💕 (@JH💕) 1542278891
Even noticing a little coincidence.
@piersmorgan It’s all in the initials... Mr. PM— everton bowers (@everton bowers) 1542278154
While others believed other leaders would be more fit for the position.

Then, there were those who clearly took it as a joke.

And finally, the majority thought it was just a straight-up hilarious proposition.
@piersmorgan Ahahahahahahahahahah. No.— Badington Swear (@Badington Swear) 1542278307
In the midsts of Transgender Awareness Week, with Trans Day of Remembrance coming up on Tuesday, Morgan's comments continue to be insensitive to a broader issue that has only recently been given more attention.
For the sake of everyone, let us therefore hope that he will finally lay his thoughts on gender to rest.
