Telegraph: Labour moves to ban puberty blockers permanently

[ResisterOfTwaddleRex]

Wes is getting it in the neck online from the TRAs. He should stand firm.

"A ban on puberty blockers could be made permanentt_ as the Labour party takes a harder stance on transgender issues, The Telegraph can reveal.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, intends to stop powerful hormone blockerss_ being given to children via any means, subject to the outcome of a legal hearing.
Laws to ban the blockers being supplied to children by private or off-shore clinics were passed by his predecessor, Victoria Atkins, in emergency legislation ahead of the general election.
These are due to expire on Sept 3 and the new Government has to decide whether to pass a law to make it permanent.._
It is understood that Labour will now seek to renew the ban with a view to making it permanent."

Good on them.

That's very good news. And signs that the transactivist grip on labour may not be as firm as we feared. Well done Wes Streeting - stand firm. You've got millions of us behind you.

Good. Now how many of them had puberty blockers themselves and how many are in their 30s and beyond.

Some of the vitriol has been collated by Maya:

The "both sides" BS should hopefully not survive this.

Pleased to hear this, I hope Streeting stands firm.

Jolyon has lost his shit and recommends families leave the UK..

He is behaving like a man lost to religious fervor

I support restriction in line with Cass Review.

I'd be unhappy to see restriction on short-term use for (say) girls with premature menarche.

I do hope they follow this through. One of my concerns has been that Labour wouldn't maintain the ban once they were in government despite the overwhelming evidence to support it.

Yes, very helpful for Labour to see the gloves and mask come off and see just what the batshit looks like when you're the target.

They basically have a choice. Do they or do they not want to go down in history as the party that enabled activists in a medical scandal and safeguarding disaster against children?

I'm hoping this is a sign that Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer have now realised that the right side of history is in fact the wrong side of history.

Well done Wes Streeting. What strange times when you seem to be our best (if not only?) ally in the Cabinet! But I'll take it, thank you.

Oh god, I'm going to end up think hes one of their best aren't I?!? This isn't first thing I've felt he did right in a week.
But in the nice itself: excellent 👍

And now they need to follow this with non affirmation and non promotion in schools. .

This is only the very start.

If indeed it happens.

If he follows it through, it would make it difficult for Education to carry on. The school to clinic pipeline has got to stop. This would be a serious block for the activist teachers for example.

Now is an excellent time to write calm, supportive messages to your new Labour MPs.

That's a good idea, RayonSunrise

One has to wonder why so many fully grown, mature, been through puberty normally, males are so keen on small children being sexually, physically and emotionally stunted by drugs used to neuter some sex offenders.

It's a mystery, truly.

Comments like "He's got blood on his hands and it's a shame it's not his own" are the stuff you see from TRAs and not gender critical women. Both sides indeed
Interesting to read the meltdowns now they've realised that a Labour government isn't going to be the trans flag-draped sunlit uplands they hoped for. Who are they going to blame now?

How long will the hearing go on and when are we likely to know the outcome?

Some of those comments are completely deranged. I hope it opens some labour members eyes to the truth about both sides being toxic. I'll also be very relieved if the ban becomes permanent.

Good idea! Will follow through with mine.

Came here to share that one - they are never happy though, it's a pity circle jerk 24/7 there
