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

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/12/labour-ban-puberty-blockers-permanently-trans-stance/

"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."

Where was this? It certainly wasn't the case in the UK. In the 1990s we just about had enough confidence in these newfangled GnRH analogues to use them for a few months at a time in a very few situations in adult gynaecology and they weren't given to reduce height growth in girls; nor was normal tallness in girls regarded as a problem to be medicalised.

Edited

I'm a bloody giant as women go (5' 11"), and have been this height since I was 13. At NO point in my life has any medical professional suggested my height was a problem and should be suppressed by drugs! It's just not / never been a thing!

Our concerns about the review (which are a matter of public record and about which we have met with you privately)

Has Labour Women been able to meet with Streeting privately? Here it sounds like, ‘we met you privately’ = we are shocked that you haven’t done what we asked/told you as that’s what has always happened.

I bet the "concerns" they met to share was just them repeating whatever full-time bullshitters like Erin Reed and Alejandra Caraballo had to say about the Review.
