Resulting in poorer information being provided to everyone who uses it. Is this really because of the feelings of 0.02% of the population, or is there another explanation?

Maybe someone who supports the trans argument can explain why it is better to provide poorer health information for everyone? Obesity is far more of an issue for the health service than the mental health of a tiny minority. Wouldn’t a warning have been enough?

Oh dear. I just checked and you're right, it's gone.
I'm thinking back to when I last used it som time in the autumn, and I feel as if it also used to have a section for age brackets, so not just 'Are you over 18?' which is what it says this morning. Or am I misremembering this?

I've just given feedback on their website about it. If you scroll down there's a bit to provide feedback.

Bloody hell what absolute blithering idiot decided to do that? As if sex discrimination in healthcare wasn't bad enough already. Is this a genuine story?
