Can't remember if I've posted this, but one of the first times I visited the town in which I now live this was tied with a ribbon to the bridge from the train station.
I still find comfort in reading it occasionally. A beautiful sentiment from a stranger who'll never know how much it meant to me.

Hi @hannahsbee.bsky.social,
There will come a time when you will have to face up to what you've done because of this era of anti-trans hysteria.
Per an FOI request, Pogust Goodhead have ZERO cases against Tavistock, when 1000 were claimed three years ago.

This sickens me so deeply because anyone who knew young people and their families within the trans community knew this was true. Could viscerally feel the damage that has been done to a whole generation. And the instinct from Labour was not to address the harm – it was to cover it up. Unforgivable.
What do you call someone whose instinct, confronted by evidence that their policies are contributing to a massive increase in deaths, is to cover it up? And should that person be a Labour Minister? Or in prison?

This might sound like hyperbole.
It is not.
They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up.
They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable.

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.

Thank you GLP for exposing Appleby’s report, a report the UK government repeatedly used to accuse trans people, and those that love them, of exaggerating and thereby ⬆️ the risk of suicide in trans people.
Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

“Incredible stuff that’s been done here”
This is how Emily Maitlis describes her work which helped shut down the only source of NHS transition healthcare for trans youth.
“Ideological capture” indeed, but not by LGBT people.

There is a wholescale concerted effort to rebrand trans children as gender questioning children.
If the whole group are re-labelled, then they cannot claim rights as a minority group.
If they are all re-labelled, then conversion efforts can just about helping them 'explore their gender'.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
