This research methodology - accessing medical records of trans minors without their consent - was made legal in UK only by a special act of government to carry out similar research here under the previous Tory government. It would have been illegal but for the government changing the law.

It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

Interesting history deep dive on sex markers on UK passports.
Can anyone tell me when sex markers appeared on UK documents? Have they always been on UK birth certificates?
I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

The far right went after Gender Critical as a 'worthy' belief becuase it was an easy target to push their agenda. Just as predicted, they've now got 'Islam Critical' & next will be 'Race Critical' - then people will be able to post whatever bigoted nonsense they want without fear of reprecussion.
This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.

To be really clear, Sussex ICB threatened, in writing, to close a Brighton GP practice serving 25,000 patients, purely to bully them into passing over child records. The GP did not want to pass on these records, because they understood the acute risk (& reality) of harm to trans adolescents.
Sophie's article is back up with a statement from the ICB. They are lying. They threatened Well BN with closure if they weren't given access to our childs records. Well BN held off for months, trying to stop them.
