🏳️⚧️ "No child should have to wait years for the healthcare they need to thrive." - Anne Health co-founder Susie Green.
This moving piece in the Metro highlights the heartbreaking six-year wait trans youth face for gender-affirming care in the UK.

This incredible man did my surgery 17 years ago in a world that was very different to the one we live in today. Not a day goes past where I don't give thanks to him for performing the final step of a journey I started nearly a decade before with the Tavistock GIDS.

THIS is what ‘institutional capture’ looks like!
THIS is what ‘systemic transphobia’ looks like!
It’s NOT a ‘conspiracy theory’ or ‘hyperbole’ it’s 💯 real, and also happening in politics, healthcare, and education sectors!
Who will the powerful bigots go after next? 😖

⚠️ 58% of respondents to the recent UK government consultation on puberty blockers opposed a ban and stated that it would harm trans youth... The government implemented it anyway!

Another quote from one of the mum’s who travelled for a secret meeting with @wesstreeting a few weeks ago to ask him to rethink his ban on puberty blockers:
“We managed to get into that meeting with WS via our MP and my daughter basically did an amazing job of being an example of the positive benefits of PBs and gender affirming care. But as we predicted, it made no difference.
“I genuinely can’t believe how hard it is now for kids coming after my daughter. In that meeting WS heard such impassioned testimonies and saw through my daughter exactly how the right care can allow someone to thrive - but he took no notice. It’s cruel, callous and political.
“I am now scared for my daughter’s future and what she will face as she goes through life in this hostile environment “ 🏳️⚧️ @UKLabour @AnnelieseDodds @bphillipsonMP

It’s important trans young people know that there is an entire vast community of healthcare staff and academics out there who will continue to fight for you, and challenge the manipulation of evidence that is stripping you of your rights
(And we wont require a peerage to do it)

genuinely don’t understand how banning puberty blockers but only for trans kids isn’t discrimination on the basis of a protected characteristic. it isn’t just the same medication, it’s the same medication for the same purpose: delaying puberty for better outcomes for a patient

To all the trans young people and their families, who are watching the government target them right now, please be assured that we will continue to support you.
Be assured that your safety and wellbeing is our primary concern.

Because I am getting this question dozens of times in my DMs from trans people/parents... If you're trying to move for safety:
Countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France.
States: Any blue state on my risk assessment map, which I'll update post-election.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

It is DEEPLY concerning @DHSCgovuk Minister for Health, @wesstreeting, has seemingly been indoctrinated by a group of transphobes representing @citizengo - A Christian Evangelical right-wing anti-gender lobby group intent on rolling back trans/LGBT/women’s rights! 😣 @LaylaMoran
ProtectTransKids retweeted
That fact that @wesstreeting has met these 5 nurses who are funded by wealthy evangelicals tells us everything we need to know about transphobia. How many trans children and their families has he spoken too? How many trans people is he willing to listen too? The man is a disgrace

We just found out that we’ve been featured in the print edition of today’s Times newspaper 🗞️
This is great news, as it carries our message of compassionate trans-inclusive healthcare and gender-affirming care even further to people who might need it 💙

Is @wesstreeting the new Caroline Farrow? Aligning with ultra-right-wing Christian Evangelical lobby organisations to punch down on trans/LGBT/women’s rights!? 😳😬😖
As time goes on, allegiances between TERFs and we’ll-funded right-wing extremist religious groups becomes clearer.
Prominent Catholic/ anti-trans figurehead Caroline Farrow backs multiple petitions by CitizenGO - Backers of last years anti-trans bus 😳⤵️

A “civil society covenant” has been launched to get input from charities on their relationship with Government
Following the @ChtyCommission now forcing trans-supportive charities to follow discredited Cass Review I urge all LGBRQ+ charities to respond!
