Media coverage of politics in this country is like:
“The Reform candidate has promised to put all puppies in a blender and kick your nan down the street BUT the Greens DID misspell the consistency’s name on a sign, so the voters have a difficult choice ahead of them”

This reminds me of one of my favourite facts about the @scottishgreens.org - our founder Leslie Spoor fought the fascists at Cable Street: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_...
It's not a struggle to imagine which side Reform's leaders would have taken that day 🤔

"My mother didn't fight Mosley's fascists at Cable Street for this!" Is such a boss line.
Early resistance matters.

Telling parents is downright dangerous. It will very clearly put many trans and non-binary young people at risk of abuse, bullying, potentially homelessness, among other things. This is the exact opposite of "protecting children". It's transphobia as policy.

Labour has brought back section 28 against trans and non-binary individuals. I lived through section 28 last time. I suffered the harms of it. This will do the same thing. Not even allowing young people to socially transition is plain wrong. It prevents them finding their own identity.

Worth noting that in their continued "unbiased" reporting (sarcasm) the BBC doesn't cover how the Cass Review has been repeatedly discredited by peer reviewed studies, that suicide rates among trans young people have increased or, not a small matter, QUOTES A SINGLE TRANS OR NON-BINARY INDIVIDUAL.

If you were trying to come up with more harmful guidance towards trans and non-binary young people you would be hard pressed to find it. The fact it is backed by Cass shows how wrong it is.

Labour's Manifesto promised to ban conversion therapy. But I defy anyone to explain how, looking at the totality of its policy platform, Labour's real policy is anything other than promoting desistance.
Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.
So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

One of the horrific things about this positioning is that it takes agency away from children and families. If you're a parent who is happy for your eight year old son to share overnight accommodation with his trans schoolfriend, and they are both happy, why is Labour telling them they can't?
