New tory policy on trans kids just dropped: force them to transition or we take them from their families 🙃 They're really hoping that all the trans kids kill themselves and some have due to law changes already. Bad news for them is that there's never been world without trans people and there never will be.

Typical Tory policy, cunts can't let anyone forget where America got its worst habits from.

Sorry to say, you don't have a monopoly on retarded ultra conservatives. They're everywhere, sticking their ***** where they don't belong.

Idk, I think it's fair to say where that shitty ideology/culture came from. It didn't start in England but it sure spread from there

Clickbait title. This is just for unregulated or overseas providers, and the mental health support is both optional, and not being forced to medically detransition.

This is just for unregulated or overseas providers

aka the only option in the UK. doing it officially is borderline impossible.

Providers are told not to prescribe or to stop prescribing puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones. They are also told that if the trans child or young person and/or their family “disregards your advice and you consider that this puts the child/young person at increased risk, then a safeguarding referral may also be appropriate in line with standard safeguarding approaches.”

I mean yes? If a doctor feels that a child is being put at risk by a parent's actions they following safeguarding protocols, that's not controversial is it? There's nothing there that says anyone who continues with unregulated treatments is/must be at risk.

Hey kids, we're gonna make you totally sad and depressed! Isn't that great? /s

Doing the "Just be normal!" meme, but its what English people think is normal, which is to feel like shite all the time.
