Possible, but no companies listed under that name either at a different address.
Its definately curious - not often youd see a sole trader 'advertising' on TV tbh.
If it is a sole trader, GBNs ad rates must be dirt cheap.

exploring trans issues with a panel of trans people that arent the trans org / popular / pretty folks, and at least an acknowledgement that 'identify as' and 'biological sex' language is inappropriate.

There seems to be a willingness to engage witg and talk about *everything else*, alongside ignoring / unfollowing / hiding replies of trans folks.

In general tbh - theres the usual soundbites but nothing to indicate a grasp of nor willingness to engage in the actual issues affecting our community.
Couple that with some slightly 'off' comments such as so called jokes using 'identify as' language and its soured things for me.

This is no good for either the trans community nor the Greens, and its not going to end well.
As it stands the Greens appear to be the best hope for the UK as a whole, but in this area they appear as performative as the rest of UK politics.
But Ive been here before. Fool me once etc.

With tge added frisson of being completely unqualified & her appointment opposed by two parliamentary committees responsible for appointments oversight.

yeah, these past 2 or 3 weeks have raised my suspicions, along the lines youve mentioned plus the apparent refusal to address WellBN.

Yet another gay guy using the trans community to boost his credibility / popularity before chucking us under the bus?

Its a multiple clown car collision in slow motion, with bigots still driving and the 'leadership' sitting there with fingers in ear and blindfolds on, denying reality as they continue to smash into each other.

All well and good, but can we get some meaningful engagement with us & articulation for the now many, many issues we face as a community?
Soundbites arent a substitute when youve had the entire media, political, medical and legal system turned against you.

The numbers are tiny, avg of 67 a month, peaking at 76 a month.
Literally 9 additional a month *at peak*.
Thats insignificant.
If 9 additional referalls a month breaks your service, youre either incompetent, deliberately running the service at a crawl, or both.

Argh this bloody lie about 'significant increase in referrals' needs to be killed off.
In 2019 they had 806 referrals. In 2025 it was 839, and the max they had was 915 in 2022.
A 4% inc over 7 years, and an avg of 803 a year.
Referral rates are effectively stable and have been for years.
