I'm 47 and a parent but I've also been a local councillor, a child minding assistant, a programmer, a stand-up, a re-enactor and lots of other things.
I want a quiet life and for a time it felt possible, but I'm trans and Labour wants to wipe me and my community out so I'm back to fighting to exist.
True and this far from the next GE they should go independent and vote with their conscience to show if they align with Greens values.
And again if they voted to hurt people while in Labour that's a no anyway.
They'll want to. Greens shouldn't let them if they've voted for cutting disability support (LCWRA/UC Health), voted to keep the child benefit cap, not spoken out about the terf push from Labour, basically if they've toed the party line on making people suffer then it's a hard no.

If they remove access to transitional care for adults, I will detransition into the man Guy Fawkes failed to be.
Oh look Labour is still trying to kill 400k disabled people that are too ill to work, but not ill in the correct way for PIP.
Is it just a link to the Nexus Mods New Vegas Forum?
A screenshot showing I could lower my monthly payments by £0, because they are already £0
Wow the indepth data gathering of companies is offering to help me reduce my £0 bills by £0...
Think I'll stick with £0 instead.
And any that have already voted for the disability cuts to UC Health/LCWRA are an instant no. Any that haven't spoken out against Streetings transphobic attacks shouldn't even be considered.
Any that have previously attacked the Greens (veiled or not) should also be a hard no.
That leaves like 3
They were happy with the Labour attacks since the GE. They can go independent and see if voting with their conscious matches Green values before letting them come across.
If our local MP defected I'd be asking serious questions of Green leadership as he's a Mandelson man from the 2024 cohort.
You *might* think paracetamol cures headaches but we, the science understanderers, hunted for all the evidence relating to 16 to 18 year olds ONLY taking paracetamol in studies usng a comparison group who received psychotherapy as an alternative, and who have never taken aspirin. We found NOTHING.
Well you're voting to punish the poorest for daring to need benefits (votes.theyworkforyou.com/person/26521...).
And for cuts to UC Health/LCWRA you voted for (votes.theyworkforyou.com/person/26521...).
You voted to hurt them, can you blame them for returning the favour?
Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5
Labour is absolutely terrified of shuttingdown or banning the largest producer of CSM on the planet (Twitter). Of which there are many laws against CSM.
But they'll attack teens and kids all day long, making new rules to attack them more such as the under 16s internet ban and puberty blocker ban.
There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".
Thanks, I've shared it with my friends.
I missed the exact same button and instead spent far too much time figuring out how to get a package manager on to install Steam.
First time users are not going to click random boxes and hope it contains what they want.
Can confirm that nothing has moved since 2024...

They were never referring anyway. My child was referred under the new pathway from CAMHS to the Gender Clinic 10am day one and they are still waiting to go on the real waiting list. We've had one letter saying they are on the waiting lists waiting list.
When Labour rushed out their "new pathway" in 2024 my child was referred day one by CAMHS, and has been on the secret waiting list to go on the real waiting list.
18 months and two bans later they are still on the list to go on the waiting list.
If so which group do you consider expendable from voting for you? The elderly, disabled, LGBT, immigrants, kids.... because all have been attacked by Labour since 2024.
Any residual votes that Labour had in 2024 are long gone, and Labour doesn't care (Starmer told those voters to leave)
9.7m Labour votes in 2024, 10.2m in 2019. You lost votes, but Tories lost more, that's it.
Labour "lost less", and then immediately started attacking what that chart calls Core Labour Voters with policies designed to hurt as many of them as possible.
Do you really think Labours attacks are good?
A Kitten on a shelf that is just below ceiling height. The wall below it is completely bare.
I'm going to have to find a more kitten-proof shelf now.
Flickr account of Keir Starmer that still says Leader of the Opposition.
It pairs well with his official flickr account (linked from Labours site) still saying Leader of the Opposition.

I don't know the brand, but looking at the sleeves that bauble thing appears to be a locking clasp/button..
We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.
Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?
New official figures published alongside this week’s spring statement have again disproved claims that spending on “welfare” is “spiralling out of control”.
