Yet your party has issued draft guidance which reads like the return of Section 28 for school children.
You will be killing a new generation of trans kids with this and all of your other bigoted policies.

The UK media ghouls and the Howling Kowling set will be crowing about this, and plenty of people who should be aghast at this pointless cruelty being inflicted on **children** will be missing in action.

I don't know how to function in a world that is so continuously cruel.
Where so many will celebrate this pointless, pointless harm. This will devastate a tiny minority. It will benefit no-one.
So many across our country will comply with this violence. So many others will stand silent.

UK Labour deliberately trying to kill trans children. The puberty blocker ban wasn’t enough; they are trying to ban the /social/ aspects of transition.

I think what is most evil about this particular decision by the UK Labour government, and the ghoul in charge, Wes Streeting, is its deliberateness.
Denying healthcare to a population that is at extreme risk like this was always going to kill some trans youth.
One suspects that was their goal.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Fucking bleak times for trans kids in the UK.
In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.
Government 'moving away' from puberty blockers, minister says
The Government is reportedly 'moving away' from medical interventions for trans people such as puberty blockers, a health minister has said.
