Tbh I’m more worried about today’s new transphobic guidance from the DfE and Hilary Cass continuing campaign of recommending conversion therapy than the outcomes of GLP v EHRC.

Can we get a strong statement on this @zackpolanski.bsky.social, show people there is another way, another choice.
I think trans people could do with hearing someone vocally standing up today.
Thanks.

Labour's Manifesto promised to ban conversion therapy. But I defy anyone to explain how, looking at the totality of its policy platform, Labour's real policy is anything other than promoting desistance.
Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.
So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

The equality and human rights commission under the new Labour appointed chief is snubbing trans rights organisations (which it has a public sector duty to engage with) in favour of anti trans rights organisations (which it has a obligation to at listen to, but which are not a protected group).
A follow-up FOI reveals that the meeting did not go ahead on the planned date and will now be held in London on the 26 Feb. They did have a meeting with FWS on the 12 Jan. No meeting was held with or planned with any trans led orgs.

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic.
There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition.
There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot.
This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

I realise I cropped that poorly, but yes that is apparently a “senior figure” with Starmer making a “chicks with dicks” jibe in a briefing to the Spectator headlined by a quote from another Labour official saying this:

Yeah. Toying with the idea of relocating to France, Spain, Portugal, Greece or Italy. Even Meloni’s far right government seems to be to the left of Starmer.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!
The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

This draft guidance reproduces Cass insisting that clinicians must be involved in decisions about *social transition* which actually should be none of their damn business
They take the line that this "non-directive" intervention should force things to be "keeping options open and flexible"...

Given the extremely high level of suicide amongst trans children; seven times that of cis children, “caution” needs to mean…
allowing trans children to transition and be accepted and supported in their wishes without delay. ANY other response risks putting their lives in danger.

Why has the anti-trans schools’ guidance suddenly been published the day before the High Court judgement is announced…?
Presumably Education Secretary Bridget Philippson, as equalities minister, will have been told the outcome in advance.
So I’m not hopeful. :-(
