Temporary ban on private clinics prescribing puberty blockers runs out on 3 September 2024

Temporary legislation to stop private clinics prescribing puberty blockers runs out on 3 September.

We’ve written to the Heath Secretary, Wes Streeting, to urge him to extend this ban.

This is a health emergency affecting mostly LGB young people.

LGB Alliance
.

I cant find what they have written, but thought I would post this reminder.

Partly because in a short while House of Commons goes into Summer Recess, and then doesn't return until September.

If anyone has more information, or can clarify please do add!

This is really cheeky, but I just dont have time to read the tweets.

Do you know if anyone is going to do a summary?

Or I suppose I can book mark for the weekend ...

To be honest, I would't bother, as it was very dry. Basically lots of refering back to previous cases across Europe that they deemed relevant for one reason or another, or pointing to bits in the skeleton argument which we don't have access to. Probably best to wait until the judgment comes out.

Can we just remember that one of the Directors of the Good Law Project is also a Director of Mumsnet.

Talk about conflict of interest!

Walters is a non-executive director of MN and My Clinical Outcomes.

Had no idea!
Tbf I thought they had largely flown that grifting coop after so many

losses.
How can they still be so naive, or is there income involved?

Maya has tweeted

The people who have been accusing Hillary Cass, JK Rowling, Kishwer Falkner and all of the rest of us of being hate groups with "blood on our hands" are now turning on Wes Streeting.

I do wonder if Jolyon will at some point be jettisoned from GLP, he is incredibly damaging to their image

Not the true believers, but perhaps some of the general public who are trying to 'be kind' and progressive, but are totally ignorant of the harm that is being done?

I tend to think of those types as being rather dim (rightly or wrongly). I'm not sure they'd get it.

NoWordForFluffy · 12/07/2024 13:56

Jeez. I'd missed that nugget of info!

Nope. Not the true believers in gender woo.

If there was a decent, investigative documentary on this on one of the main channels, would that open people's eyes?

NoWordForFluffy · 12/07/2024 13:52

The tweet is daft really though. Where does he suggest people go, given the difficulty in actually getting a visa to live elsewhere?

He's being a hyperbolic fool.

The tweets in support of Jo Maugham's position are insane. How can people be so wilfully blind to the evidence?

Jolyon has gone off at the deep end, again and is advising people to leave the UK, and if they can't has provided advice on how to circumvent the ban.

It's been a slightly odd experience watching someone unravel in the way he has.

Show quote history

I cannot imagine being a child who has been the focus of a family move so that child can receive a treatment that has been found to not only not give that child space to think as it has been sold, but also causes significant negative impacts that might take a decade or more to evolve in the body. A treatment that has been reported by multiple country's health departments to not have more than a weak evidence base that the treatment even works as it has been sold to the patient. What child can come back from that?

That tweet is chilling.

StickItInTheFamilyAlbum · 12/07/2024 12:54

Just had a quick peep at the Streeting hashtag on TwiX. It's troubling to see so much misunderstanding on display from people who genuinely believe the misrepresentation of Cass.

JM's full tweet was:

"I congratulate the women in Labour's team who have, at least so far, brought thoughtfulness and sensitivity to the 'debate' about trans women. My feelings about Wes Streeting are unprintable: these measures will kill trans children."

He appears to think the debate is about trans women. Tell me this isn't a men's rights movement without...

Mmmnotsure · 12/07/2024 11:27

Maugham tweets today, 'My feelings about Wes Streeting are unprintable: these measures will kill trans children. These tweets are my own personal position and not that of [the GLP].
and then, to 'every trans family'
'I think it is time, if you have this choice, to leave the United Kingdom.'

The fox botherer is frothing about Wes Streeting on Twix, which can only be a good thing.

I'm a little surprised at the strength of Streeting's position.

I've already had to overcome default cynicism about something in work today, doing it x2 before lunch may well be the ruination of me.
