It tells you everything you need to know about the state of British society when the Anne Frank Trust has to step in because of the dehumanising attacks on the LGBT community. What a disgrace we’ve become

In 1975 the average of cost of children in care was £3,545 (£38,600 in today's money). Then Margaret Thatcher privatised it. Now 50,000 children are in Private Care at a cost of £384,017 each. This blatant robbery provides terrible care and costs £20bn a year.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
"A data table summarizing the results of a literature review on various hormone therapy interventions for binary and non-binary groups. It lists ten intervention categories, detailing the number of full texts assessed, studies included, and studies excluded for each. The bottom row shows a total of 547 texts assessed, 17 studies included, and 530 studies excluded."

Fundamentally the issue with anti trans people is: they live in an imaginary world. Trans people are a small part of the population and statistics point out that men are the biggest threat to women, girls, trans people, other men. If you can’t see that simple truth I don’t trust you.

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.
Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel,
 
Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen.
 
We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with.
 
We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this.
 
Thank you again for getting in touch.

My view: The “interim update” from the EHRC, and doubtless the actual “guidance” when it is produced, will try and obscure the fact that any exclusion of trans people is not compulsory, it is a choice. If anyone is excluding trans people from anywhere they are choosing to be transphobic, they… 1/8
Following the Supreme Court decision, if you are excluding trans people you are choosing to do so. You do not HAVE to, you are doing it because you WANT to. You are not defining trans people, you are telling the world who YOU are.
