1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This is an explicitly biased foundation for a study that has the potential to cause trauma to participants. How is it ethical?
Even Hilary Cass - who disgracefully called parents terrified that their trans kids would take their own lives if they were denied healthcare "shroud wavers" - didn't go so far as to call for a ban on puberty blockers.
Nothing Wes Streeting says turns out to be true.

To fix a problem that doesn't exist, British businesses now have to decide between getting sued by a local bigot funded by JK Rowling, or getting sued by a trans or GNC person and possibly ending up in front of the European Court of Human Rights. They must really love the Labour goverment right now.

![Double page spread in the Times - From gender critical beliefs to boxing: what the guidance says
Geraldine Scott - Assistant Political Editor
A trans rights protest outside parliament in April after the Supreme Court ruled that the term sex in the Equality Act referred to biological sex
Next image ›
The equality watchdog has set out sweeping new guidance on how to apply equality protections for the first time in more than a decade, with a focus on how transgender people should be treated.
The 300-page document, seen by The Times but not yet published, was prompted by a Supreme Court judgment in April that ruled the terms “sex” and “woman” in the Equality Act referred to biological sex.
Here we outline the key elements.
Single-sex spaces
The most significant change is a departure from previous interpretations that transgender people should generally be treated in line with their gender identity in single-sex settings such as changing rooms or hospital wards.
Previously it was thought that excluding a transgender woman from a single-sex setting could amount to discrimination.
The new guidance states clearly that trans people may be excluded from single-sex spaces that do not correspond to their biological sex when it is a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”, such as protecting privacy, dignity or safety.
Reflecting the Supreme Court ruling, the guidance said that for the purposes of the Equality Act “a person’s sex remains their biological sex, whether they have a GRC [gender recognition certificate] or not”. The guidance adds: “A trans man with a GRC is a woman and a trans woman with a GRC is a man, for the purposes of the act.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyefpiziml7b24sxpd74axq7/bafkreib2buaq3w6z2bphwtq3lvtmf2keurfz5hdbfqdedh7ushy5xdgdru@jpeg)

I am remembering a BBC correspondent who quit the BBC after transphobes changed his copy after he filed it, and without his permission.
The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

Evidence suggests LGBTQ+ young people experience phone/internet use differently from cishet peers. Rather than much publicised harms, LGBTQ+ youth find this a double-edged sword - both positive community and support and discrimination. A one size fits all removal of access harms LGBTQ+ youth more.
Thinking about Brianna Ghey while reading this article on screen time and bullying. Labour are using her name to push for a crackdown on phone use among teens.
But this research indicates increased screen time does *not* correlate with increased bullying for trans kids - unlike their cis peers.
