The DPP has called the remark “vulgar and inappropriate.”“If people think the remarks were too uncultured, I am willing to take them back,” Han told reporters at a news conference for the logo for his presidential campaign. They are only cooperating to promote their political interests, unlike he and his vice presidential candidate, former premier Simon Chang (張善政), Han said. In other developments, a coalition of civic groups accused Han’s wife, Lee Chia-fen (李佳芬), and Han’s campaign of distorting gender equality education. Han campaign office spokesman Ye Yuan-zhi (葉元之) on Tuesday said that a quick Google search shows that many parents have expressed concern over material presented in class. While Tsai’s team said that it hopes to make Taiwan more friendly to people of different gender identities and eliminate gender discrimination, Han’s team did not respond, he said.
