I hope that they are proud of the fact that this was the entirely foreseeable outcome of their transphobia

The Supreme Court ruling and the draft EHRC Statutory Code has left trans people in the UK feeling scared and confused. To help you navigate this nightmare, we've created a Know Your Rights resource: transactual.org.uk/know-your-rights

But what an opportunity to publicly engage with him directly in front of everyone LGBT Tories had a stall at a Pride a couple years ago and I spent some time rubbishing all the claims, they even claimed the SafeToBeMe conference - that's a lie then I said and it went downhill from there, for them

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not β€œgold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard.

IMO it’s just pseudoscience.

There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

We are disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised, to hear that Wes Streeting has met with and sympathised with the Bayswater Group as well as a number of other groups advocating for anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion practices.

We are disturbed by the fact that Wes Streeting and the UK Labour government have no intention of working positively or in good faith with any LGBTQIA+ groups; instead they choose to do the opposite.

It has been shown numerous times how the Bayswater Group have caused harm. As we have previously seen, via their work with Miriam Cates and the Conservative Government, they have worked to block any Conversion Practices ban.

It has been reported that trans young people met with Streeting, begging and pleading for there not to be a ban on puberty blockers but Streeting's actions have since proven his sympathies are with those seeking to cause us harm.

Whilst the UK Labour Government continues to work with these anti-trans hate groups, we have no faith that there will be a UK-wide trans-inclusive Conversion Practices Ban.

This follows on from Wes Streeting's work continuing the Conservatives' ban on puberty blockers, as well as his continued push to implement the fatally flawed Cass Review: a review which is also heavily influenced by groups advocating for conversion practices against queer people, and has been shown to ignore young trans people's voices.

Clearly, these are actions which both Cass and Streeting have in common. Therefore, we call on Wes Streeting to resign immediately as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

I am #intersex. I was born with physical characterisics from both sexes. They told me I was a girl, and then they told me was a boy. They cut me open and surgically altered me and left me in pain for forty years. They lied to me about what they'd done.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

Yet the UK government letter refusing to implement an independent review heavily imply that it is. What are they so afraid of in an independent review?

Banning trans women in sport changes nothing for anyone except a handful of trans women. Cis women will still be raped by their coaches. Cis women will still be paid less. Cis women will still be second to cis men.

But Oliver Brown hates women, so he's happy with that.

Vicious: Summer Betts-Ramsey admitted the assault ATTACKER
A TRANSGENDER girl was stabbed nine times in a revenge attack for lying about her gender identity before performing a sex act on a boy, a court has heard.

Five teenagers punched, kicked and stamped on the victim, who collapsed after being knifed in the brutal 45-second assault, plotted on Snapchat and then filmed.

Trans girl β€˜stabbed by gang after sex act on boy’
The Daily Telegraph16 Jan 2025
A transgender girl was stabbed by a group of masked youths after lying about her gender and performing a sex act on a boy, a court has heard.

The girl, who was 18 at the time, was lured to a car park in Harrow, north London, last February after admitting to the boy at knifepoint that she was trans. She and the boy had previously been in a sexual relationship. She was stabbed and kicked by the gang before passers-by saw her and she was rushed to hospital, the Old Bailey heard.

Summer Betts-ramsey, 20, Bradley Harris, 18, Camron Osei, 18, Shiloh Hindes, 18, and a 17-year-old boy have admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The sentencing continues.
