Piers Morgan has said he hates genderfluid people, calling them “absurd”.
The Good Morning Britain host has been spewing hatred against non-binary people for months.
And this weekend, in the Mail on Sunday, he attacked Kori Doty, a non-binary parent who has been in the news over their battle to exclude new baby Searyl’s biological sex from their birth certificate.

Doty was on Good Morning Britain two weeks ago, when Morgan asked Doty if they were “born male or female” and repeatedly badgered them about their genitals.
The parent, from British Columbia in Canada, smartly hit back by asking: “If that’s the direction this conversation is going to go, can I ask you if one of your testicles hangs lower?”
Morgan was flummoxed, which gave Doty the opportunity to tell him: “What someone’s genitals look like when they are born does not actually give us accurate information about their gender.”
Yesterday, with Doty unable to immediately respond, he constantly misgendered them – writing “he/she” instead of just ‘they’ – and displayed his fragile masculinity.
Morgan wrote: “My number one pet hate at the moment is the absurd ‘gender fluid’ movement, driven by people who don’t wish to be defined as either male or female.
“Today, a ‘non-binary genderfluid’ Canadian named Kori Doty appeared on GMB to defend his/her decision to also define his/her newborn baby as non-binary gender fluid.”
He continued: “As we dived into the technical weeds of the debate, Mr/Mrs Doty declared: ‘What someone’s genitals look like when they are born does not actually give us information about their gender.’
“Of course not, why would any of us think otherwise?” Morgan added sarcastically.
He then brought this site into his piece, writing: “Later, gay online newspaper Pink News [sic] covered the story with the immortal headline: ‘PIERS MORGAN QUIZZED ABOUT HIS TESTICLES IN SPAT WITH NON-BINARY GOOD MORNING BRITAIN GUEST’.”

It is not clear why Morgan wrote the headline entirely in capital letters. We did not.
He added: “PS The answer is no,” for some reason.
The TV presenter has been angrily hitting out against gender-neutral and non-binary concepts and people for months.
He lashed out against Emma Watson after she picked up the gender-neutral Best Actor prize at the MTV TV and Movie Awards in May.
He went on a bizarre rant in which he suggested he would call himself “an Arsenal tragic gender,” then said he might wear a dress at the news that a London school was instituting gender-neutral uniforms.
And the chat show host continued his rampage by telling a trans non-binary couple that non-binary children were “a contagion” and that “two or three” trans kids died from suicide last year.
A 2014 study found that 48 percent of trans people under 26 in Britain had attempted suicide.
He also said that identifying as non-binary is “a massive new fad”.
Stonewall called him “bigoted and transphobic” after he made these comments, but this did not stop him.
Despite having taken part in the charity’s Rainbow Laces campaign in the past, he responded by childishly calling Stonewall “bigoted & Piers-phobic”.
