Wes Streeting We're now setting up clinical trials to build the evidence base we need to support vulnerable children properly. Wes Streeting @wesstreeting Nov 22 Puberty blockers have been used to delay puberty in children and young people who start puberty much too early. Use in those cases has been extensively tested and has met strict safety reauirements. Wes Streeting @wesstreeting Nov 22 King's College London are expert scientists who operate at the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Their expertise and rigorous approach will support the wellbeing of participants and ensure we get the robust evidence we need. @wesstreeting Nov 22 Wes Streeting I know many have objections to both the puberty blockers ban and the clinical trial. And I know that there is a lot of pain and heartache for too many children and young people with gender incongruence who need better support. Wes Streeting @wesstreeting Nov 22 I will always follow expert scientific advice to get us there. That's the only responsible way to resolve this contentious issue and protect vulnerable children.

Much as I despise the sh*trag, he's still pretending otherwise.
He's saying this is to get "that evidence" Cass claimed was lacking in support of PB use.
Wes Streeting @wesstreeting Nov 22, two tweets in reply to each other: The Cass Review was clear: there isn't enough evidence that puberty blockers are safe or beneficial for children with gender incongruence. Tweet 2: Dr Cass recommended a ban on prescribing them and a clinical trial to build that evidence. Kings College London has now launched that trial. https://x.com/wesstreeting/status/1992185332901507162

On that note, his manifesto included this. Breaking this has been regularly front page since the election.
And one of the first things they did in power was to declare trans healthcare dangerous and banned it for kids. Even Trump hasn't managed that yet, but has been citing Labour as inspiration.
Excerpt from Labour manifesto: So-called conversion therapy is abuse - there is no other word for it - so Labour will finally deliver a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, while protecting the freedom for people to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity. We will also modernise, simplify, and reform the intrusive and outdated gender recognition law to a new process. We will remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance; whilst retaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor, enabling access to the healthcare pathway. Labour is proud of our Equality Act and the rights and protections it affords women; we will continue to support the implementation of its single-sex exceptions. Labour will stop the chaos, end the failure and division of the last 14 years, and turn the page to ensure everyone can thrive

And of course the Guardian is there uncritically quoting Wes cry
"We're all trying to find the guy who did this!"
Especially grim as he's been taking inspiration from the 70s and 80s for his transphobia.
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, voiced alarm this month that NHS staff were bearing the brunt of a return to 1970s and 1980s-style racism in Britain where it is “socially acceptable to be racist”.

Ok I'm loving this
"Suzanne Levy says “we do not have specific data on workplace disputes involving sex realist opinions”."
They're all about data and science, but no data proves their race realist *ehem* "sex realist opinions" right.
Funny how everything they both say resembles "Scientific racism".
Excerpt from Wikipedia article on race realism: Scientific racism, sometimes termed biological racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that the human species is divided into biologically distinct taxa called "races",[1][2][3] and that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racial discrimination, racial inferiority, or racial superiority.[4][5][6][7] Before the mid-20th century, scientific racism was accepted throughout the scientific community, but it is no longer considered scientific.[5][6] The division of humankind into biologically separate groups, along with the assignment of particular physical and mental characteristics to these groups through constructing and applying corresponding explanatory models, is referred to as racialism, racial realism, race realism, or race science by those who support these ideas. Modern scientific consensus rejects this view as being irreconcilable with modern genetic research.[8] Scientific racism misapplies, misconstrues, or distorts anthropology (notably physical anthropology), craniometry, evolutionary biology, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines through proposing anthropological typologies to classify human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which might be asserted to be superior or inferior to others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism

To make all of that even worse, the colour of other objects changes the perceived colour to the point where black can look like white which adds even more dimensions.

And then we label these as things like "mauve".

Ireland and Spain are good choices.
But tbh just check the ILGA map. The UK is a bright sore thumb in the middle of significantly better places.
Throw a dart at Europe, and you'll find somewhere better.

From Chief political commentator at the Standard, John Rentoul: https://bsky.app/profile/rentouljohn.bsky.social/post/3m3wia6kfek2p John Rentoul @rentouljohn.bsky.social 3. Anti-Reform tactical voting is strong (note high turnout) That gives Lab hope it can defend Lab- Reform marginals in England that will probably be the main battleground at next general election 3/4 4. No, it does not mean Labour should turn to the left: that would boost Reform in those Lab-Reform marginals 4/4

Hidden in the chart is, of course, the number of people who don't pick either; but that's a different chart which shows the Tories, LDs and Greens are all about the same, but Reform voters are far more certain on where they're going.

This is one of those lessons in stats abuse. Once we account for people who didn't answer the question, Reform are no different to Lib Dems.
If you wanted to make that point - the chart they should have posted is this one, which by that argument would imply the Greens are the most horrible.

They state they did one in their latest press release, and that they gave it to parliament on the 9th October 🤔
Wouldn't be surprised if the EHRC are lying again, especially as there's no way they could conclude the guidance is congruent with an Equality Impact Assessment.
Excerpt from https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/our-work/advising-parliament-and-governments/our-letter-minister-women-and-equalities-about We are at your disposal to advise on any aspect of the Code if that would help to speed its progress. I note that the Office for Equality and Opportunity (OEO) requested on 9 October sight of additional information to help inform Ministers’ consideration of the draft Code, including our Equality Impact Assessment. We provided this information to OEO on 13 October. I would consequently welcome a meeting with you on the Government’s next steps ahead of laying the draft Code before Parliament. Our officials have reached out to your office with a request to arrange this. Three lines are highlighted: Does the proposed policy eliminate discrimination? Does the proposed policy contribute to advancing equality of opportunity? Does the proposed policy affect good relations?

Why are you, the

So desperate to strip an entire minority of their equality and human rights?
P.S. Please could you publish your Impact Assessment, as your guide would indicate the proposed service guide would fail it.

Also, I note they talk about the Equality Impact Assessment.
I can't find that, but I did find their guidance for doing one of these.
This guidance increases discrimination.
Removes opportunity.
And makes trans people *and* cis people hate the EHRC more.

I just got myself this most impractical D20.
It's a gyro spinner, so great fun to roll, but uhh very easy to cheat 🤭
A bronze gyro spinner. It is a disk cast in the form of a cthulu monster with tentacles everywhere and one giant eye. It is wrapped around an inner disk with three rows of numbers visible. The rows are labelled d8, d10, d20. A tentacle points to the number it has landed on, that number is 1 because if you are facing a cthulu monster, it is never your lucky day.

He said there was only one thing to criticise: violence against the police.
He went on to imply nationalism is good.
"The flag was waved quite a lot [...] That flag means a lot of different things to a lot of people, but it is about essential British and English values and principles."
It doesn’t disturb me, because it’s actually proof that we live in a country where free speech, free association, is alive and well. The bit that disturbs me is that when a minority go to an extreme and end up perpetrating violence against the police. That is unacceptable and those people should and will pay for it. “The flag was waved quite a lot and I do want to make the point that the flag belongs to all of us,” Kyle added. “That flag means a lot of different things to a lot of people, but it is about essential British and English values and principles.”

Let's gather some context here.
The top of that thread is (of course) you defending Kirk (which you claim you haven't):
"His statements have been grossly distorted"
and elsewhere:
"his views [...] inaccurately or incompletely reported. When I do listen to him in full, he speaks with civility"
Screenshot of Sally Jenkins post: "Nobody in the press gets a medal for Charlie Kirk coverage, in my mind. His statements have been grossly distorted, the purported motives of his killer hastily ascribed, and public statements from officials swallowed whole without much verification, some of which turned out to be wrong." Zee's New Chapter is quoted saying "You admitted you're not familiar with his views but are saying he argued with civility. Which one is it, Sally? Cuz it sounds to me like you're defending him, and that's pretty disgusting and embarrassing." Sally's response is "One of the reasons I'm not familiar with his views is that I find they've been inaccurately or incompletely reported. When I do listen to him in full, he speaks with civility, and his full context has usually been lost. This disappoints me in my profession. That is what I'm saying."
