MANCHESTER, England - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday that "a man is a man and a woman is a woman" and people should not be bullied into believing they can be any sex they want to be.

Referring to how society should deal with transgender people, he told his party's annual conference: "we shouldn't get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be.

"They can't, a man is a man and a woman is a woman, that's just common sense."
