    Banning the only form of treatment for precocious puberty, a pretty significant medical issue, because A Tran might touch it. Yes this is very normal and definitely rooted in health concerns and isn't at all malicious, why do you ask?

    The decision also had some... incredibly alarming phrasing in it, suggesting a "wider review of future gender identity services" - this is just step 1 of making transition entirely illegal. This also overrides Gillick competence, meaning abortion access for under-16s is now also back in question.

    This is an absolute fucking disaster, it cuts much deeper than it first looks. :ukkk: :ukkk: :ukkk: :ukkk:

      I have said it before and I will say it again. Postal bombing will make a comeback if they try this. They have no idea how fucking angry and militant people are now in the UK trans community.

      Pushing a crowd of militant socialists and anarchists with various mental health issues over the edge when they are literally suicidal is a really REALLY bad fucking idea.

      The kids aren't going to retaliate because they're just poor kids that need help and haven't learned shit yet. But in the adults? Things will get really wild if they keep going at this.
