Wes Streetings decision to ban puberty blockers should be called out for what it is.
He's playing culture wars where trans & non binary youth are collateral damage & Labour dance to Reforms tune.
An attack on trans people is an attack on our LGBTQ+ community. We must say no.
BREAKING - LONG TWEET: A few weeks ago, a group of mums and dads were given a secret meeting with Wes Streeting. Very hush-hush. They’d written to ask if they could bring their trans kids to speak directly to the Health Minister, so he could hear first hand what banning puberty blockers would mean to their lives. I’m told Wes appeared sympathetic. The meeting got underway, and one by one, the trans boys and girls took their turn, the mums and dads saying nothing. They explained that they knew who they were, had always known, and that they didn’t want their bodies to change in a way that made them stand out. They all had friends and family who accepted them, and just wanted normal lives, which PBs would help give them. There were lots of tears listening to the testimonies. The parent who told me about the meeting said the emotional charge in the room seemed to be making Wes realise. In their words: “How anyone could not be moved after hearing that, I’ll never know. Hopefully, he now understands. I have more hope after today. I can’t see how anyone listening to what we’ve just heard doesn’t understand.”
However, I’m sorry to say the parents have just been told that Wes will be announcing this week that the ban on puberty blockers is to be made permanent. This is despite the fact that the exact same puberty blockers will still be prescribed to non trans kids. So this medicine (which has been around since the 1970s) is “dangerous and irreversible” for trans kids - but perfectly safe for kids who aren’t. Utterly ludicrous. Over the last seven years, the Gender Critical / Religious Right movement has manufactured countless quack reports from pseudo scientific sounding groups they’ve set up to oppose Gender Affirming Care. They have targeted applying for positions in the NHS linked to trans care. Kemi Badenoch has admitted PLANTING Gender Criticals in the NHS. Similar tactics have been used in the US. Why? Because when all this started, all the evidence in the world SUPPORTED Gender Affirming Care. They needed to oppose and muddy the waters. Create confusion and panic. But do it with a medical veneer. Which is how we came to have CASS and the likes of the SEGM and various other paper-mache’ fronts. All corrupt. All with pre-determined anti-trans views. Often with Religiously motivated individuals involved (please bear this in mind when you see the likes of JKR shouting about some medical report on PBs which she waves about like Neville Chamberlin as “proof.”)
Anyway, none of this helps trans kids - the ones who are now going to suffer. Who - along with their parents - will become criminals in the eyes of UK law, as they try to get harmless PBs from other sources to stop their bodies changing in a way that will make them stand out, and a target for bullying and the sort of vile harassment you see on this platform everyday . It is going to cost lives, and for those who survive, it means decades of trying to undo the physical changes they themselves never wanted - but Wes and JKR did. The UK is the only country in Europe that has this ban. As a postscript, I can also tell you that during the polite chit-chat cups of tea phase of the meeting, where Wes mingled with parents, he said he “couldn’t stand” the nurses from Darlington, who have complained recently about a woman who is trans using the same facilities they use. I don’t believe a single word Wes says - and neither should you. Shame on @UKLabour@wesstreeting@NHSEngland
