A statement from the LGBT+ Labour National Committee following the announcement of a pause on the Puberty Blockers Trial:

[Rachel Taylor MP @RachelTaylorMP]

1/ My thoughts on the puberty blockers trial — and why we need urgent action on trans healthcare. 🧵

[LGBT+ Labour @LGBTLabour]

9/ More broadly, we urgently need to build a conversation in this country that supports the basic rights of trans people to access medicine and live with dignity and respect.

[LGBT+ Labour @LGBTLabour]

1/ We welcome @wesstreeting’s announcement of a clinical trial into the efficacy and safety of puberty blockers for treating children with gender dysphoria. This serves as a vital step towards providing young trans people with good, timely, and evidence-led healthcare.

[LGBT+ Labour @LGBTLabour]

8/ and provide mental health support for those who desperately need it, as well as delivering a comprehensive, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.

[LGBT+ Labour @LGBTLabour]

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the trans people around the world whose lives have been cut short by transphobic hate in the past year.

We must continue to work for a world in which all trans people are free to live, with dignity, safety, and equality.

Today is the anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales. Here's why the campaign to strike down that homophobic law was what first got me involved in politics 👇

We look forward to working with her in her new role to champion the voices of LGBT+ members and voters.

And many thanks to @NiaGriffithMP for her work in the role, especially on pushing for a fully inclusive ban on conversion practices and making LGBT+ hate crime an aggravated offence. We look forward to continuing to work with you on the backbenches to deliver progress.
