Biased letter opens Streeting’s puberty blockers decision up to challenge Ministers shouldn’t base policy on opinions that are biased, so we’re challenging Streeting’s flawed decision

REVEALED 👀

Who wrote the letter Wes Streeting relied on when he paused the puberty blockers trial?

Trans Healthcare Trust Issues Amid NHS Changes The public health service confirmed the evidence review and several others in a report published as part of an upcoming public consultation into proposed changes to NHS youth gender services. The Equality and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment (EHIA) report was published after NHS England announced the decision to ban new masculinising and feminising (MAF) hormone prescriptions for under-18s, claiming the evidence for the medication’s benefits are “really weak.” Transgender teenagers aged 16-17 are gradually given MAF hormones such as testosterone or oestrogen after they have been on puberty suppressant hormones for a sufficient period.

Over two decades ago, the European Court of Human Rights held that trans people should not be forcibly “othered” as a third gender. Recent decisions in the UK have obscured this, which is why we should push back on the idea that affirming trans folk in their gender is a “radical” move. It’s basic. 🏳️‍⚧️

Extract from Impact Assessment. NHS England is separately reviewing the evidence for the use of MAF in adults with gender dysphoria, with the aim of a consultation on the evidence later in 2026.

Given that every 'evidence review' under Labour is conducted to 'build the evidence case against' can there be any real doubt about how this ends?

The complete removal from the NHS, and possible criminalization, of all medication for trans people.

The reviews searched over 12,000 references. They screened 547 full-text papers for inclusion. They included 17. That's a 96.9% exclusion rate at full text. 530 studies were relevant enough to survive initial screening, then rejected by the review criteria. 6/10 reviews found 0 included studies.

Joey Barton arrested on suspicion of attacking man near Liverpool golf club Former footballer detained after incident outside Huyton and Prescot golf club on Sunday evening

Anti-trans mouthpiece and convicted violent offender, Joey Barton, has been arrested again. This time, he allegedly beat a man so badly the victim had to be rushed to hospital

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Everything we know from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, is that if kids play sport, they’re about half as likely to have attempted suicide in the last year.”

Sex matters making up statistics again. There were 69.3 million people in the UK in 2024, so numbers will have risen. This poll consisted of 1500 people which was 0.0021 of the population. Guaranteed most were transphobes which would skew the data. They also didn't get 100% agreement. Facts matter.

Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban This paper presents an analysis of data from trans children and young people and their parents following the imposition of a UK-wide ban on puberty blockers for this group. The consequences of this...

To impose a ban on hormones for under 18s with this ridiculously low level & quality of evidence is completely unjustified, on every level.

And as my own research has shown, none of them take into account the effects of banning them, something that was absent from Cass.

Switching from Linux Mint to Debian I recently switched my Ryzen based laptop from Linux Mint to Debian Trixie. While I love Linux Mint and been using it for years, the main reason why I changed is I like I really like the flexibility of KDE but also wanted something custom. Why change? One thing that I didn’t like about Linux Mint was it felt to much like using a Windows Machine, with it’s bar at the bottom, a ‘start menu’ as such. While Linux Mint was a rock solid operating system for what I used this laptop for, typing blog posts, I wanted a change.

Switching Away from Big Tech I was an Apple fan girl for a long time, deeply into the Apple ecosystem. I still use some of there services, but if Apple stopped all there services today, the only thing I would miss is Email, and that is going to be moving once my free Apple One subscription is up. Here is what I have done. Cloud Storage Some of the most important things you can have on your devices is your photo's. They are irreplaceable memories of your life so you would want them safe. I currently use 2 services to back up my photos, Apple iCloud and Nextcloud.

Using CachyOS as my main distro. I recently installed CachyOS on my gaming laptop as I was having problems with my Linux Mint distro I had installed previously. Hardware The hardware that my gaming laptop, which is an Acer Nitro ANV15-51, has is as follows: - Intel Core i5-1342H 8 Core 12 Thread CPU @4.6Ghz 16Gb DDR5 5600Mhz Ram (2x8Gb) Intel UHD Graphic Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU with 6Gb GDDR6 VRAM 2 x 512Gb NVME SSD So as you can see, it’s not exactly a top-end laptop, but it plays the games I want to play with no problems under Windows 11.

Screenshot of an X post by “Republicans against Trump” with the caption “WATCH: Ed Davey, leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, delivers a blistering takedown of Trump in the British Parliament.” The post includes a large quote claiming President Trump is “acting like an international gangster,” threatening an ally’s sovereignty, threatening NATO, and threatening tariffs on the UK and European allies unless he gets “his hands on Greenland.”
