She's saying this in 2025. There has been plenty of time for her to research trans healthcare and no shortage of people willing to do inform her.
Yet Maitilis is still bragging about shutting down trans healthcare. It tells us she's either wildly transphobic or proudly uninterested in the facts.

The boy (13) is doing gothic literature in English and has to write a gothic story. This has several promising elements - burning abbey, nuns, senseless murder - "but," he says, "I keep worrying it's turning into a comedy." So begins the most important lesson of the gothic.

Transphobic parents would rather have a dead kid than a trans one. Esther Ghey can't say that out loud but everything she has said and done since Brianna's death has been about that.
She has a rationale for it as part of her book promo.
Bonus: she's friends with the mom of one the killers.

It's genuinely sickening to see all these MPs doing everything they can to erase transphobia from the conversation.
Brianna Ghey died because of the bigotry that the media and the Labour Party pushes relentlessly. She didn't die because her school doesn't have phone pouches.

On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

I mean I cared already, but it's always interesting to see the crossover in todays media where people of colour tend to be universal trans allies against a wall of white people trying to cancel them for made up crap
They spend most of their time writing hateful and unfounded nonsense about trans women, if you weren’t already aware.
And the three women of colour they’re attacking on this occasion are all proud trans allies.

My nephews and nieces are like “yeah we have a non-binary kid and a trans girl in our class” no big deal. Mainstream transphobia from media and politicians is driving hate
Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation!
It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖
