"Dangerously misrepresented"
Today, the High Court ruled that bathroom bans in the UK are not required following last year's Supreme Court decision
However, in a ruling which significantly damages Trans+ rights, this conclusion differs in workplaces, where exclusion will be lawful
How and why?๐งต

To 22 in 2021-22, the year Tavistock was shuttered

Significantly, after the Tavistock closed following the Keira Bell case in 2022, this year sees the greatest number of suicides โ which aligns with what whistleblowers said.

Five trans children died by suicide in 2019-20, 4 in 2020-21 then 22 in 2021-22. This is the truth, from official Government data, that Wes Streeting desperately tried to cover up.
