Puberty Blockers Question at PMQs

[CaveMum]

First PMQs for Sir Keir Starmer.

Second question was from Nadia Whittome saying how worried she was about the puberty blocker ban and asking the PM to meet with trans families and organisations supporting them.

His response was to say the most important thing was the children and that the Cass Review was clear that there was scant evidence on their long term use. He said he would arrange for her to meet Wes Streeting to discuss.

She did not look happy and was shaking her head.

Progress? Perhaps.

It also makes you realise that when people go "but Rosie Duffield" they are not being fair. He has given her a lot of latitude comparatively.

Given his attitude to those rebels , I don’t hold out much hope for MPs who don’t hold the party line on making GRCs easier to obtain..

So he bloody well should have while ignoring her being harassed.

Great idea. I am going to do the same.

I just watched this, can anyone lip read what Whittome said when it cuts to her shaking her head?

Many of the cheerleaders are going to slink away when the gender identity-related use of puberty blockers is finally discredited for good, but Whittome is going to have an inescapable albatross round her neck.
