Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

Honestly, if you only want to read one article about trans stuff in 2026, it should probably be this one. 👇🏻
