Here’s the facts under The Labour Party Wes Streeting if you are trans. This isn’t melodrama - how it now actually is in the UK: ā­ļøIf you go to the NHS and tell them you are trans, you will be directed to mental health (even though being trans is not ā€˜mental health’). You’ll then have

If you are referred to the London Gender Clinic today, based on current rates of first appointments the waiting list is 37 years. These segregated clinics need to be closed. Patients need to be seen in primary care the way everyone else already is.

Spicy take but if your religious beliefs mean that you openly state that others’ freedoms should be restricted, your religious beliefs aren’t worthy of dignity and protection in an equal, democratic society.

Zinnia Jones, bsky @zinniajones.com šŸšŸ”† There is a very active & concerted effort to ensure anti-trans figures are in positions of authority across the NHS, especially in trans children's care. This is an acute & powerful threat to trans children's healthcare rights, with risk of abuse & conversive practices.

Some NHS GP's now claim they lack the expertise to treat trans patients with HRT, this letter is from the GMC in 2016 explaining that no, it is NOT beyond their expertise and is expected to be carried out in primary care as a duty to patient. The HRT guidelines havent changed.

The Council Of Europe has just condemned Wes Streeting’s NHS puberty blocker ā€œresearchā€ as unethical according to the Orviedo Convention on Human Rights & Biomedicine(1997). It is also unethical according to… The Helsinki Declaration (1979) & The Nuremberg Code(1947)

This sort of very clear plan to try and eliminate the rights of a minority in broad daylight is classic far right activity. It's not supposed to be protected in any way, and yet our political establishment, including the Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls are listening extensively to anti-rights groups.

For people that don't understand the frustration and anger about this image. Just picture Andrew Wakefield receiving a peerage for publishing his discredited paper claiming vaccines cause autism. This is just as offensive.

59% of those consulted in Labour’s CLOSED (ie you only got a say if invited) consultation on puberty blockers said there should be NO ban. The 59% made up of reputable medical orgs. But Evangelical Wes went with the 27% who wanted a ban. The 27% made up of mostly anti-trans

ā€œrainbow capitalism is badā€ and ā€œit’s a really, really bad sign when companies stop doing rainbow capitalismā€ are two true statements that do not contradict each other.

The Minister who introduced the Gender Recognition Bill in the House of Lords in 2003 made it clear that "a transsexual person would have protection under the Sex Discrimination Act [the predecessor to the Equality Act] as a person of the acquired sex or gender."

I know that I won't go viral like others. I know that this will be liked by at most a couple hundred people. But there has been so much misinformation & I feel compelled to address some of it. Let's start with: The vast majority of autism research funding goes on biological work

Is this the new route for diagnosis for ADHDers and autism given that all these local authorities are already denying people assessment? Or is it just the ones you want to deny bodily autonomy to?
