I am begging critics of the puberty blocker trial to stop getting lost in the weeds arguing about research ethics, Gillick competence, informed consent, fertility preservation and the like. The NHS’s refusal to complete the Data Linkage Study (DLS) before proceeding with a new trial is the ONLY argument worth making on this issue. Everything else is a distraction.
The DLS would find out what has happened to all the children who have already taken puberty blockers. There is NO justification for proceeding with a puberty blocker trial before the DLS is complete. The entire programme of future research in this area should be informed by its results. The fact that the NHS is getting ready to run a live experiment on vulnerable children before it has even established the fate of those it has already experimented on is utterly damning.
The deeply disappointing Dr Cass should be widely derided for her ridiculous comments on ‘harm reduction’. The DLS IS harm reduction. Critics of the trial must stop fighting on their opponents turf by quibbling over technical details. We need to relentlessly force the DLS onto the agenda and expose the shameful hypocrisy of the NHS. DO THE DLS.

@DoctorLemma we're raising an entire generation of children who have to compete with an algorithm just to get their own parents' eye contact, and we still wonder why childhood anxiety is skyrocketing.

The Supreme Court spoke plainly. Sex in law means biological sex. Single-sex spaces exist to protect privacy, dignity, and safety. That ruling was unanimous, deliberate, and designed to end a decade of institutional confusion. It was not ambiguous. It did not invite reinterpretation. It settled the matter. And yet, months on, women are still waiting for the law to be applied. Not because Parliament has overturned it. Not because the judges were unclear. But because a Cabinet minister – Bridget Phillipson, the Secretary of State for Women and Equalities – has decided she does not like the outcome.

The task of turning judgments into practice falls to the state. That is why the Equality and Human Rights Commission drafted guidance spelling out what the ruling requires of hospitals, councils, gyms, schools and businesses. It did exactly what it exists to do: interpret the law as declared by the court and urge ministers to act at speed. Instead, the guidance has been sat on, stalled, and quietly attacked from within government.

While women wait, the minister responsible has gone further. In court filings, she has described the guidance as "trans-exclusive," as though enforcing sex-based law were an act of discrimination rather than compliance. She has offered bad-faith hypotheticals about infant boys and pregnant women in queues to muddy a judgment that was written precisely to prevent such games. She has demanded extra process where none is required. And she has aligned herself with a legal challenge brought by the Good Law Project, whose purpose is not to clarify the ruling, but to blunt it.

The effect is not academic. Because the guidance is blocked, institutions do nothing. Hospitals continue to tell women to accept males in wards and changing rooms. Employers continue to discipline women who object. Public bodies continue to pretend the law is unsettled when it is not. The chaos the court sought to end is being prolonged by design. This is how rights are hollowed out in practice while being praised in principle.

The contradiction at the heart of government is now stark. Keir Starmer told Parliament the ruling must be implemented "in full and at all levels." Yet his own minister is arguing, in court, for a "case-by-case" approach that would reintroduce the very incoherence the judges rejected. If a women's toilet must admit a male based on appearance or attitude, it ceases to be a women's space. There is no middle ground. There never was. The law does not bend because a minister finds it awkward.

What we are watching is not caution. It is sabotage by procedure. No vote. No Bill. No open argument in Parliament. Just delay, reframing, and obstruction until the ruling is drained of force. That is not how a democracy treats its highest court. It is how an executive evades it.

The irony is bitter. For years, women were told to be patient while clarity was sought. The court has now provided that clarity. And still they are told to wait – not for the law to be written, but for a minister to accept it. This is not about complexity. It is about will.

A government that accepts a judgment only in words, while resisting it in action, is not governing under the rule of law. It is testing how long it can get away with ignoring it. And the price of that test is being paid by women who were promised protection and are instead given process.

The court has done its job. The law is settled. What remains is a simple question of integrity. Will ministers carry out the law as it stands, or continue to stall until it means nothing at all?

"While women wait, the minister responsible has gone further. In court filings, she has described the guidance as "trans-exclusive," as though enforcing sex-based law were an act of discrimination rather than compliance."

Many Parliamentarians have now added their name in support of my urgent cross-party letter to Wes Streeting, asking him to #StopThePBTrial.

The letter will be delivered to @DHSCgovuk at the #StopTheTrial protest on Wednesday, so there’s still time for your MP to add their name.

“It’s as if a bridge had collapsed, and then been cordoned off to prevent further harm, only for engineers to decide to reopen it and send children across it again – as though the precise nature of the disaster could only be clarified by reenacting it.”

This is the short film about puberty blockers made by @AllianceLGB at the height of the Tavistock scandal. If you watch this and still think troubled kids should be drugged to prevent them going through a normal puberty you've lost your moral compass.

This woman says the quiet part out loud and speaks an uncomfortable truth. Say it louder for the people in the back!

“If the Government feeds you, it can starve you. If the Government houses you, it can evict you. If the Government pays your utilities, it can turn them off. If the Government pays your cell phone, it can disconnect it. If the Government provides your transportation, it can decide when you go and where you can travel. If the Government takes care of your health, it can decide when it has spent enough money on you. If the Government educates your children, it can choose what they learn. If the Government raises your children, it can shape what they believe. If the Government controls your information, it can control your truth.

And when a Government controls all of those things, it doesn’t have to take your freedom, you will hand it over piece by piece in exchange for comfort. You’ll think you’re being cared for, when in reality is, you’re being kept.”

Powerful words and she is 100% correct.

In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan- "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.' "

[Camus @newstart_2024]

The WEF's "Partnership Against Cybercrime" is the vehicle for a long-sought goal: a fully regulated internet, tied to a mandatory Digital ID for every user.

As journalist Whitney Webb elucidates, this isn't about convenience; it's about control. By linking your internet access to a verifiable identity, intelligence agencies and partner corporations would have an unprecedented window into your digital life. They would know every article you read, every video you watch, and every post you create.

The critical question is: why would the public ever consent to the eradication of online anonymity and privacy?

The answer, Webb argues, lies in a strategy of manufactured consent through fear. The public must be convinced that privacy itself is a threat. This requires a catalyzing event—a global cyber catastrophe, perpetrated by "anonymous hackers," that creates widespread panic and disruption.

In the ensuing chaos, the pre-packaged solution is unveiled: to prevent this from ever happening again, we must eliminate online anonymity. We must know exactly who is doing what online. The very system of Digital ID and internet regulation that has been "cooked for a very long time" is then presented as the only logical answer to a problem they warned you about.

The crisis creates the pretext. The solution establishes the control.

I think it’s worth mentioning that there still is homophobic crime, and this is why it’s crucial to be clear about what the LGB community is really about. https://t.co/x1zU1solfx

bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. 1/2

[Maia Poet🦎 @thepeacepoet99]

Too many young people of my generation have been encouraged to adopt & nurture unstable trans 🏳️‍⚧️ identities in their formative years, as a politically motivated attempt to capitalize upon our distress.

Instead of building a stable, reality-based sense of self, they/we spent their/our youth desperately trying to hold together something that is inherently fragile because it put them at odds with objective reality.

I know this because I was one.
