PODCAST – Hey, Streeting! Leave Those Kids Alone!

For this week’s What the Trans?! Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx talk about:

The now-extended ban on puberty blockers for trans young people (but not cis ones).
Alyx gives us the details from the Trans Kids Deserve Better protest outside the Department of Education.
A lengthy Loser’s Corner featuring the LGB Alliance, Tickle vs. Giggle and the sport of darts!
Labour Women’s Declaration and their weapons-grade bulls**t.
The many ongoing misuses of the Cass report.

So disappointed in Sinn Féin in particular, given that this is what they were saying to the trans community at Belfast Pride less than a month ago. pic.twitter.com/WeeBgrwany

This week, Starmer arrived in NI. Doug Beattie resigned as leader of the UUP citing irreconcible differences then the UUPs Mike Nesbitt pushes through a puberty blocker ban despite claims he said he wouldn't, facilitated by Sinn Fein, who just weeks ago said they were against ban

I'm hearing that @sinnfeinlgbtq have been kept completely in the dark over what Sinn Fein are doing re puberty blocker ban and there has been at least one resignation.

According to Sinn Fein, Keir Starmer threatened to take Stormont to court if they didn't follow England with the puberty blocker ban. So much for a devolved health service.

There has been significant inaccurate reporting around the position on Conversion Practices in the PfG

It is categorically untrue that the ban has been dropped. We are seeking clarification on timings & red lines for SG's cooperation with WM and will have a full statement soon👇 https://t.co/Q7KHm8QPbo

Good Law Project

Letter sent to GLP supporters

Letter Sent to UK Pharmacies

I agree that the law is oppressive but this is just notifying pharmacies to follow it. I know this is out of character for me but we should be wary of how we talk about the govt enforcing safeguarding notifications – this is an obvious conclusion of the UK govt banning GNRHa meds
