Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

More generally, the GC movement's aim is to stigmatize all gender non-conformity.
Amusingly, the LGB Alliance lot give the game away. They insist they're protecting effeminate gay men and butch dykes from being 'transed' but also endorse prohibitions on social transition, aka gender non-conformity.

Not stamping out just treating as if it's a dangerous sign of mental illness that needs to be discouraged.
Not too long ago a regular GC cry was "I was a tomboy growing up. These days they'd trans you for that. Leave those kids alone!" Now Cass is arguing that tomboy (and other) behaviour needs stamping out altogether?

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Out of the last four Prime Ministers three have had to pretend they didn’t know about something (Starmer twice). Yet the only one who didn’t - Liz Truss - was probably the only one who could *credibly* have done that.
Starmer is now claiming he didn't know his close advisor of many years was harassing journalists.
Maybe it is time he also admits he doesn't know anything about trans kids and listens to trans people about his puberty-blocker ban, social transition ban and other transphobic measures.

It's also just not evident based. For all the evidence Cass had tried to amass, this speculation that kids who might have ceased being trans are being frozen in time rather than helped to develop their growing minds, identity and agency by exploring and expressing it actively has zero evidence.
Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?
The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.
