Is NHSE forcing young people to detransition? The minutes of a meeting, leaked to NWBylines, strongly indicate NHSE does not want the prescribing of puberty blockers at WellBN to continue

Six lies transphobes tell about puberty blockers - debunked Ahead of the NHS PATHWAYs puberty blockers trial, PinkNews debunks six lies commonly told about puberty blockers.

A good summary of many of the lies told by people like Wes Streeting and the rest of the political far right about puberty blockers.

1 - My son and I met with Wes Streeting last year with other families. He heard the most horrific stories of children refused blockers and how it impacts them. We begged him not to ban blockers, and he promised to work with us, to have further meetings.

Our government is happy to manufacture evidence to deny trans care to young people simply because they are transphobic.

The real evidence is that gender affirming care saves lives, harms no-one and has an astronomical rate of satisfaction and success.

This is just a way to prevent teens from transitioning while pretending to offer a solution.

Wes Streeting tweet: "Dr Cass recommended a ban on prescribing them and a clinical trial to build that evidence. Kings College London has now launched that trial."

Even Hilary Cass - who disgracefully called parents terrified that their trans kids would take their own lives if they were denied healthcare "shroud wavers" - didn't go so far as to call for a ban on puberty blockers.

Nothing Wes Streeting says turns out to be true.

This is what the British state and NHS are doing to trans children.

In a "study", designed by associates of a designated hate group, into which these children are being coerced, because their internationally-endorsed healthcare has been banned on the bigoted whims of a religious ideologue.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.

Screenshot of a report on the BBC News website (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0y07959djo) original headline reads: Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance I have scrubbed out the word Trans The headline is above an image of a sign for toilets from Getty images The BBC staff are: Alison Holt Social affairs editor @AlisonHoltBBC Ewan Somerville Kate Whannel Political reporter

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Which one is more English?

Well this makes such absolute sense I can't believe I hadn't worked it out for myself... Thank you for the emotional labour of explaining it.

‘I don’t want anyone to suffer like I did’: the intersex campaigners fighting to limit surgery on children What should be done about the small proportion of babies born with genitals that are neither typically male nor typically female? Many of those affected believe parents and doctors are often too quick...

These are some quite heartbreaking stories and, as Holly Greenberry-Pullen comments in the piece, really illustrates the perverse absurdity of deeming trans teens to young to even get blockers but being fine with intersex kids getting horrifically drastic full-on bodily surgery as *toddlers*.

Excellent thread. Just so tired if this gaslighting transphobic bullshit.

There’s a deeper trick here. He calls respectful coverage of trans lives “bias,” then demands “balance” by platforming anti-trans voices (ignoring that BBC policy won’t allow trans voices without GC ones too!)

That’s the same old “I’ve been silenced because I can’t be transphobic on air” routine.

Its funny how Muslims, leftists and trans people were being blamed for Harris losing the election in 2024.

Then, a year later, the most popular politician in the country is Muslim democratic socialist who expresses full throated support for trans people.

Almost like it was never our fault🤔

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

you guys have GOT to watch the whole thing

New report details the harm caused by EHRC interim guidance

I hope so, I really do. And thank you for your tireless campaigning to make that happen. But it makes me sick to think of the kids we will lose on the way - kids for whom PBs were a lifeline who have now had that ripped away purely to satisfy a tiny number of powerful bigots.

If only the UK would follow suit.

On Intersex Awareness Day, thousands feel unsafe to live openly The world is a dangerous place for intersex people, and new research shows that many feel it’s getting worse

“The campaign for intersex people’s human rights has come a long way in the past two decades… Unfortunately, as this research shows, it is still dangerous to be born this way.”

Politics aimed at enforcing binary sex result in harmful interventions on intersex people. We must resist such politics.

Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes in 2003, over 81,000 people have become Olympians.

Out of those 81,000 a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42.

BBC story: "Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X."

BBC story: "The Metropolitan Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents to allow officers to "focus on matters that meet the threshold for criminal investigations". The announcement came as the Met confirmed it was dropping a probe into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan after he was arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in posts on X. Mr Linehan was arrested by five officers on 1 September after arriving on a flight from the US, sparking a backlash from some public figures and politicians. The Crown Prosecution Service said it had decided no further action should be taken in the writer's case following a "careful review" of the evidence supplied by police. In a statement on Monday addressing non-crime hate incidents, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said it "understands the concern" around the case. "The commissioner has been clear he doesn't believe officers should be policing toxic culture war debates, with current laws and rules on inciting violence online leaving them in an impossible position," the spokesperson said."

Curious how the Graham Linehan story is being spun, including by the BBC. He was arrested on suspicion of the criminal offence of inciting violence; but the BBC is now conflating his incitement with a "non-crime hate incident".

People who pretend their transphobia is rooted in a concern for women's safety can now congratulate themselves that they have taken away a system which helped to identify men likely to commit violent assaults against women and could be used to prevent those assaults. Drink your champagne, ladies.

What a absolute shambolic waste of time, money and effort the whole LLF process has been. Honestly, I despair.

Oh shit. I hadn't seen that. You're absolutely right, and I am absolutely wrong. "no substantive change to teaching or doctrine is to be pursued at this time". Fuckadoodledoo.

Will take my optimistic thread down. And, once again, seriously consider whether I can stay in the CofE.

Experience has shown you can never be too cynical when it comes to the CofE. And of course, even if the "privately progressive" bishops are finally gearing up for a fight, doesn't mean they'll win it. The ConEvos is are depressingly good at Synodical power games.

(Of course, I could be completely wrong. It could be that the bishops saying we "need formal synodical and legislative processes to be completed before they could be permitted" is just them admitting we can't do it and giving up on the whole thing. This is the CofE - any fuckwittery is possible).

Not even American. Blocked the lot.
