No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days.
Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

use of starvation of a civilian population as a weapon of war is a completely unambiguous war crime

Israel says it is stopping the entry of all aid and supplies into the Gaza Strip
The prime minister's office did not elaborate on the decision but warned of “additional consequences” if Hamas does not accept what Israel says is a U.S. proposal for an extension of the ceasefire.

![A recently discharged Division 252 officer describes the arbitrary nature of this boundary: "For the division, the kill zone extends as far as a sniper can see." But the issue goes beyond geography. "We're killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists," he says. "The IDF spokesperson's announcements about casualty numbers have turned this into a competition between units. If Division 99 kills 150 [people], the next unit aims for 200."
These accounts of indiscriminate killing and the routine classification of civilian casualties as terrorists emerged repeatedly in Haaretz's conversations with recent Gaza veterans.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jjfethf2y735ux2mhcy46crq/bafkreiglnzxoplsvffuhw6r257kirizidrogiharovvcjthkp7krbvwh7y@jpeg)

96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression.

Inaccurate headline. They will be banned only as an intervention for transgender children. Still deemed safe for cis children experiencing precocious puberty. This is an ideological concern, not a safety concern.

It's amazing to read a report like this and see that the majority of experts they consulted did not support the ban, stated very clear reasons why the ban was harmful, and yet they were ignored in favour of known hate groups.
The Labour Government has confirmed they invited numerous known hate groups and pro-conversion orgs to give evidence for their closed consultation on the puberty blocker ban, including Bayeswater Support, LGB Alliance, CAN-SG, Transgender Trend and Sex Matters.
Never let them forget this choice.

Remember how the government jumped to say "No it wasn't 16 suicides, it was 12!"
It turns out it was definitely more than 12 because they straight up admit to not having included at least one trans youth suicide.
Appleby laughed at the idea of us calling his report a shoddy cover up.

BREAKING
On the day the UK government announces a permanent puberty blocker ban I learn:
ALICE’S DATA WAS NOT INCLUDED in data sent to Appleby to assess for his rushed DHSC report, that dismissed whistleblower claims of increased suicides in trans youth since Bell.
The report is a proven sham.

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.
It’s even worse knowing that Wes actually met trans kids, listened to them cry about how awful it would be to go through the wrong puberty, how this is a lifesaving treatment, and is fucking doing this anyway
It’s even more heartless than shutting them out of conversations

BREAKING: I have seen confirmation that the indefinite puberty blocker ban for trans kids that was passed by the NI Executive yesterday will be UK-wide. It will come into effect on January 1 2025 when the temporary ban expires.
It is being laid before Parliament today.

a lesson we have learned repeatedly in the UK is that when transphobes suddenly appear in load-bearing roles in organisations, they are usually prepared to sacrifice everything, including their job and their org’s credibility, in order to platform and perform transphobia
