The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"
You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

Anyone want to tell the EHRC's KC that this is exactly how things have worked for decades with almost no issues or incidents until the recent spate of attempts by gender critical to harass their trans coworkers?
14/ He then discussed the trans-inclusive policy options an employer might pursue if the claimants are correct that the employer can decide. He says that “self-declaration” is not feasible. Using lived gender would also create real difficulties in practice as there are no objective criteria.

Labour's permanent ban on puberty blockers for trans children is costing lives. It has nothing to do with "protecting children". They cannot claim to care about children's welfare while supporting a ban which has been shown, repeatedly, to cause them more harm.

With this global push towards rearmament, with relentless profits for arms companies, it's hard to feel any lessons have been learnt from those two awful wars.
