@richardfoordld.bsky.social The reality behind the governments culture war against transgender people.
Trans kids are dying and the media and government continues to mock our very existence. If transgender people weren't so demonised in the UK this would be a multi career ending scandal...

Meanwhile, what do families do? Maybe they emigrate (as I suggested a year ago) given Labour's revealed policy is 'cleanse Britain of the stain of transness.' But the families hit hardest, those without money to insulate them, don't have that choice. And for them life is almost literally unliveable.

Kids are dying. I am personally supporting multiple families whose kids have taken their own lives. Other families know this - and are desperate to get their kids what they need. But the NHS deploys all the resources of the State to stop them: I think it would rather the kids died than got care.

If you take heroin your GP will help you with blood tests. But if you follow international healthcare protocols and take eg puberty blockers NHS England has told your GP not to help you monitor hormone levels with blood tests. Gender affirming care is, apparently, worse than heroin.
