The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.
Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

Transgender study by J. Michael Bailey and all the questions are "will you give me a blowjob?" and the only answers you can check are "yes" or "yes"
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Trans people: canaries in the coal mine since 1930
It's a real full-circle moment because rhetoric that was refined in anti-trans propaganda is now being turned around to argue against gay marriage.
Note the renewed focus on children and the deployment of "biological parents" as a more-naturalized, more 'legitimate' category.

Yeah no i really think you kinda made a fool of yourself if you have a nice chat with Keir Starmer about a bloody awareness week
Just think if we’re giving labour mps credit for gestures like signing support for trans history week it just reduces pressure on them to Actually do anything. They ought to be confronted by their hypocrisy and to defy it will take a fuck of a lot more than wishing for our “dignity and respect“

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
