Starmer plays to the bigots, trying to compete with Farage. A strong leader would ignore the bigots, and do what is morally right. That would attract more voters. But there is no strength in Starmer, nor in Labour.

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.

Parliament, in 90s-10s, made various laws that no one, including transphobes, may discriminate against trans people.
The Supreme Court says, actually, that transphobes can discriminate and also demand that others discriminate.
The High Court says, actually, no, there are simply no laws.

This is one being proliferated extensively by conservative family therapists and particularly in the conversion therapy advocacy space - CT is being increasingly banned, so those therapists are coaching parents instead in how to "assert boundaries" on their LGBTQ+ youth.
Like a guy who thought that "personal boundaries" meant "rules a parent sets for their child or any other restriction one person places on another" and got very upset when they were informed that boundaries are not that at all
