Maya Forshater thinks that gender-affirming surgeries are a 'human rights abuse'. Yet they’re internationally recognised medical procedures for gender dysphoria.

This is a human rights abuse.

It is modern "conversion therapy" - doctors persuading young unhappy patients to have their genitals removed, effectively sterilising them and removing sexual function under the false pretense that this can change their sex.

This data never ceases to "amaze" me. In 2005, very few people received any transition related genital surgery (120 over the whole of 🇩🇪), in 2025 it was 4,184. 

And the shift in the age distribution is staggering: Surgeries on 18-25 "

I’ve emailed Andy Burnham and Bridget Phillipson with a name change suggestion for next year's conference.
"Dear Ms Phillipson and Prime Minister Burnham,

I understand that Labour’s National Annual Women’s Conference took place in Liverpool on 26 September, with reports suggesting that attendance was somewhere around 200 women, compared with roughly 1,000 in previous years.

Given that rather spectacular reduction, I have a modest suggestion for next year.

Perhaps the event could be renamed the Labour Party (Handful of) Women’s Conference.

It would certainly be more accurate, and it might save on printing costs.

Of course, there is a more serious point underneath the joke. When a women’s conference loses the vast majority of its attendees, perhaps it is worth asking why so many women decided they no longer wanted to be there.

If Labour genuinely wants to represent women, it might be worth listening to the women who stayed away.

Yours sincerely,"

This government has made life dramatically harder for trans children and their families. The human costs are enormous. Cal is not the first parent I know that has made the gut wrenching decision to leave the country. Read this then start fighting for a world where trans kids can live and thrive.
