If we explain to Nigel that we're not calling him a racist in a hurtful or insulting way, perhaps he'll be a little less salty about it.

‘Medieval levels of health inequality’. Does not sit well beside Streeting’s superficial and zippy political ambitions for NHS, like ‘analogue to digital’. Goes much deeper mate and Labour have just helped make it worse with cuts to health welfare benefits

Ver well argued. As someone who has lifelong emotional and mental health disorders that commenced school age and also worked with young people I think universal rather than individually reactive is wrong
I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools
I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling.

The moral panic they have cooked up about trans people is a textbook one 15 year olds learn about in sociology GCSE. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so gravely dangerous.

Joins a long list of both universal and targeted. Evidence is consistent, CYP choose the person they want to help them and not the service, also universal all effective therapy is successful because of the quality of the relationship and not the techniques used-an app is not a relationship!

Discrimination, harassment and violence will increase if trans people lose access to toilets and other spaces.
Many will feel driven from public life. That's what's at stake here.
There's no benefit to women. Just harm to trans people and anyone who doesn’t fit gendered stereotypes.
