My research, only published 3 weeks ago, "Harming children: The Effects of the UK Puberty-blocker Ban" has now had over 10,000 hits. Huge for an academic article. Starmer's government is cruelly & unjustifiably harming children & people want to know about it. 😡 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

“One reason SEND reform is so fraught is that parents with experience of fighting for the crucial [EHC] plans... are already highly politicized. They have fought the system before — and they know the law inside out”  You betcha! #saveourchildrensrights politi.co/44mnMxC

It’s amazing what a few mismatched slabs, bags of gravel and a couple of packets of thyme and chamomile can do on our heavy clay soil ☺️ and the bees are very happy too 🐝 🌱

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.
