And why are hormones safe for a 14 year old cis girl needing those hormones for painful or abnormal menstrual cycles but not safe for a 14 year old trans youth needing gender affirmative care?

I want these people to explain why puberty blockers are safe and can be prescribed by a GP for a cis gender 9 year old with precocious puberty , but aren’t safe for a 13 year old trans youth.

The worst part of your meeting for me was where Judith Ellis, the one in charge of the MDT reviewing our children's records and deciding what his ongoing treatment looks like, without meeting him, announced that she has no experience.

I physically handed them letters from Brighton families, they glanced at them and handed them back. I had to remind them to take them when leaving, they most likely were never read. They were not interested in the slightest. 🤬

🤬 this is a trial to see what they can get away with. Succeed in erasing these trans youth and they will go after trans youth in private or underground care. Then it will be trans young adults.

This is a first stage in trying to totally erase trans people.

Everyone reading this needs to write the icb and nhse and tell them how angry this makes you.

If they get away with this, who will they go after next?

So if you’re as appalled by this as we are please write to NHS Sussex ICB, Wicker House, High Street, Worthing BN11 1DJ marked for the attn of Andrew Hodson CMO

This will effectively be a forced detransition. In addition parents of these patients are being threatened with referral to safeguarding if they do not engage with the new service. If successful this could set a very dangerous precedent.

After all this could set a very dangerous precedent for the development of any future models of healthcare, and not just transgender healthcare.

It would bury the ICB in a mountain of paperwork so high they’d never get out. It’s what lawyers do all the time they send boxes of litigation papers to grind the opposition into submission. The ICB would then feel the weight of UK wide pressure not just 140 families.
.

It would also be an idea to send letters recorded delivery in the post not emails because emails can sit unread in an inbox but can you imagine the impact of thousands of letters arriving at their office?

I am a dual citizen, British American living in the UK. I have been watching what is happening in my country of birth in fear these past 70+ days.

Senator Booker, I thank you for your inspiring words and your courage in stepping up and speaking out. Long may they ring.

I would recommend channeling Dennis Skinner, former MP, when speaking to or about Trump.

Skinner: “Half the Tory members opposite are crooks”

House of Commons Speaker: “The honourable member MUST withdraw that remark”

Skinner: “OK, half the Tories are not crooks”
