In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023.

He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours.

They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds.

Without them, he will lose the organ.

This is how people die.
