No, they don’t.
Because the majority of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals aren’t transphobic and don’t want young trans people to suffer.
Nobody is targeting LGB kids and medicalising them to becoming trans. It’s a ridiculous hyperbole steeped in recycled homophobia.
We lost a generation of LGBT people because of government ideology around HIV/aids.
We lost a generation of LGBT people because of government ideology and section 28.
There are reasons we will never accept losing another generation of LGBT people due to government ideology.
An understated point re the puberty blocker discourse:
Puberty blockers are prescribed normally for kids who go through puberty early. They're available, for *cis* kids.
They've been deemed safe, for *cis* kids.

Wes Streeting is WAY out of his lane.
Health professionals, doctors & patients must decide what care is appropriate, not politicians.
Cis kids get puberty blockers, banning them for trans kids - without any satisfactory evidence - is pure hate.
Trans youth you are loved❤️
I am very uncomfortable with a billionaire author getting privileged access to a party that may shortly be in power, to discuss the rights of a minority group she doesn’t belong to, who have experienced a massive increase in hate crime, and who she believes have too many rights.
I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’.
Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃
In just the last 5 years, these countries have all repealed laws that criminalized LGBTQ+ people:
🇧🇼, 🇬🇦, 🇦🇴, 🇧🇹, 🇦🇬, 🇧🇧, 🇸🇬, 🇰🇳, 🇨🇰, 🇲🇺, 🇩🇲
Applauding 🇳🇦 on joining their ranks! 👏🏾👏🏾
A more just, equitable and kind world is a healthier one for everyone.

I’m going to say something that needs to be said. The epidemic of people, in public places like coffee shops and airplanes, taking a phone call on speaker or watching a video without headphones is out of control. We need to shame this behavior better.

Currently releasing domestic abusers early from prison, overseen worst rape charging rates in decades, rape victims waiting up to 5 years to get to court while accused walks free and you don't monitor them at all. You've not done a single recommendation from child abuse inquiry.
In honor of pride month, pls think about the queer people in Palestine.
Remember everyone, you can't have pride if you're dead.
Queer palestinians are dead bcoz of the gen0cide, not bcoz of being thrown off the roof by their own family.
There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been decimated, 100% of the population displaced and 50% of the deaths children…
So let’s just call it for what it really is… this is a GENOCIDE..🇵🇸💔
