There is a deadline: 31 July. After that, these children face losing the care they rely on. My daughter would have been one of them if she hadn’t aged out. We’d be terrified too. Please watch. Please share. Please donate if you can. They’re running out of time. gofund.me/f34156579

Families affected by the WellBN investigation urgently need support. Children are being told their medication will stop after 31 July. Families are trying to get legal advice, challenge serious inaccuracies, and keep children safe. Please donate or share. gofund.me/829f8ebcd

For years the system tried to stop her healthcare, and for the last eight months the investigation has taken our data, our privacy, and our peace without permission. They say they will store it for 20 years. Every post here is true. Every post is pain.

Diary 1: It was late spring when the surgery told us, in a group meeting, that the investigation was coming. We’d had only a few blissful months of safety after finding that practice. It felt like the bottom fell out of my world. I remember thinking, how many times can one child be put through this?

Already seeing some terrible takes on here about supporting science re the puberty blocker trial. Science that is unethical & designed terribly, influenced by those who don't want us to exist, is never ever going to lead to useful outcomes. & this trial will cause immense harm to participants.

Diary 2: We were walking into our new home, after transphobes forced us out of the last one, when she asked, “Mum, what if they take it away?” "We'll fight." I was furious. No child should fear losing lifesaving care. Our kids aren’t unsafe because they’re trans but because of people in power.

Diary 4: My younger son has coursework this week and I only realised today. I missed every message from school. I’ve been so wrapped up in trying to keep his sister safe from a system that’s hurting her that I dropped something he needed. This fight takes pieces from the whole family.

I know so many parents who pulled their kids from the govt list this morning after the trial news. It’s happening across the country. How many families are deregistering right now rather than let their kids be harmed by this system? They’re not listening. We are.

I think @entirelyharmless.bsky.social summed up Sex Matters pretty well with this: "UK media: every time you quote Sex Matters on anything related to trans people, it’s the equivalent of quoting the Flat Earth Society on anything related to space or air travel. They’re unqualified cranks."

This is our record. My daughter just turned 18. That milestone shouldn’t have been a countdown to safety, but it was. She is safe for now. Many children are not. I can’t use our real names. I wish I could. They want us quiet. We’re not going quiet.

Please @zackpolanski.bsky.social, we are being forced into a situation where we get to watch our children die Infront of us, while the very institution that is meant to care tells us "policies must be followed". Apparently that's more important than dead children to the NHS.

Horrific. There should be criminal charges and jail time for acts like this.
Help found in Brighton – then cruelly taken away 
Laura found an NHS Dr in Brighton who helped support her daughter for 6 months.

Laura described it as ‘six months of support bliss’ before NHS ICB Sussex (Integrated Care Board) began investigating them.

They are threatening social service referrals and taking our legal NHS repeat meds off us. The ICB must have broken every data protection law. They asked to look at what meds our children are on. We refused access to our NHS data, they broke it anyway.
