The UK Government is murdering trans people. We must call it what it is. It's not NHS policy. It's cold blooded murder.
Labour is killing trans people
Labour is killing trans people
Pass it on!!
government are pretending 3 million ppl didn't already sign a petition telling them to fuck off with this
labour wanna know why they're so unpopular?
it's bcos they don't listen
absolutely nobody fucking wants this. it's not about the implementation. nobody wants it. labour are doing it anyway
Every time a new terrible policy comes out, there are literally hundreds of healthcare professionals in bland committees who have nodded along, stamped their approval, enabled this harm.
Hundreds of them.
Healthcare professionals who think of themselves as good people.
Causing catastrophic harm.
I'm a retired DJ, and event manager.
I go for long ten mile walks, and enjoy the countryside.
I do no harm to anybody. I just want to live out my llife in peace.
But Labour wants me eradicated because I happen to be trans.
Obviously re: the last repost, because of the below, trans people should not travel to the US and most specifically never to, or via, a state enacting these horrific laws
The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

Hundreds of MPs just voted to abolish one of the fundamental pillars of democracy (the right to jury trial), but yeah, let's reheat "hypnotits" that's important.
Transgender woman's frustration as GP refuses her hormone therapy treatment
Joanne Monck OBE has been told by New Pond Surgery in Lancing to travel to a gender specialist clinic in Brighton

Outrageously corrupt, prejudiced "science" from the NHS:
- Enforce one particular treatment pathway for years
- Rig your literature survey to exclude that pathway
- Declare that, amazingly, there is "no evidence" for any treatment pathway
- Ban the treatment
- Shrug as people suffer untreated
Great news today: we were told that @libdems.org.uk have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities regarding the EHRC and Supreme Court ruling. Urging the Minister to appoint a joint committee of cross-party MPs and peers to conduct post-legislative scrutiny of both the
Remember when they said that transitioning is okay when youβre 18? ..and then they said when youβre 25? 30?
It was never about protecting children.
It was about inducing gender dysphoria and making it so bad that trans people take their lives.
An effective ban before the end of the year is highly likely. They won't call it a ban. They'll limit private prescribing by citing safety concerns and then rely on the 25 year waitlists for adult care to effectively make formal access impossible. It'll make legal challenges harder.
If youβre even thinking about defending this governmentβs record?
This Labour government has spent more political capital protecting child abusers than trans children.
OPINIONβ¦
The cruel HRT ban for trans kids is for one simple reason, and one simple reason onlyβ¦
It is to trans the kids for life, so that they will be forever marked by the effects of an unwanted puberty. So they will forever stand out as a different, and to be marked for a bigotry.
#TRANSRIGHTS
Of course not. It doesn't fit the anti-trans narrative.
The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.
How odd β I thought all of this anti-trans stuff was about women's rights?
"The 34-year-old, who won last month's Gorton and Denton by-election, was helped by the police towards a waiting car after anti-transgender activists clashed with women's rights and anti-racism campaigners."
Near full media silence regarding these violent Anti Trans men. Why, you may ask? - It doesn't sit well with the media image they like to portray - respectful looking middle aged/elderly women like forstator etc
1/π§΅ I am reviewing NHS Englandβs βevidenceβ papers supporting their ban of GHAT for 16- and 17-year-olds.
Itβs hard not to see this as a deliberate and malicious attempt to manipulate the evidence base. Most notably, the scope is restricted to monotherapy or GnRH analogues.
Yes, they are coming for adult care. The cowardly bastards haven't done it yet because they wouldn't be able to hide behind 'protecting women' or 'protecting children'
It has become very clear that a full ban on medical transition will be in force within the next 4 years

..the fact Mahmood is using precisely the same sort of deliberately misleading language as Goodwin, Jenrick, Lam and Farage tells us all we need to know about how acceptable/fair she thinks her policies actually are to Guardian readers/the British public.
Newsome is Starmer MKII. The UK & US are finished
Britain isn't a Christian country.
In the 2021 census 46% of England and Wales was Christian.
In the 2022 census 39% of Scotland was Christian.
It fell by over 10% in the previous decade. It is likely even lower today.
The Christian religion is a minority community with disproportionate power.
Maybe Wes will be as good a pal to Mandelson as Mandy was to Epstein and keep writing to him when he's incarcerated.
Pretty sure though Wes is going to now work even harder to distance himself to attempt to save himself- good luck with that!

Just deeply unserious reporting from the BBC here, both on the politics and the numbers
No mention of Trump/ICE and what deporting hundreds of thousands of people actually look like; and no scrutiny of Reform's entirely fictional/fantasy numbers
