Im a little behind on UK news having left 3 months ago, but am i understanding this correctly. JK Rowling wants to destroy a respected human rights organisation in order to prove she isn't anti-rights?

On our year of travelling we are currently in Germany. I absolutely love this country, I have never been made to feel so welcome anywhere. Visited our first Volkfest last night and came away with no voice from singing, a load of amazing new German friends and a big smile on my face.

They said that the children did not have face to face consultations, which is a lie. Meanwhile, they decided the children were harmed and decided what would be best for them without ever having a discussion with parents or children. They haven't met a single child whose life they just destroyed.

Absolutely breaks my heart. Fuck everyone and everything. 17,000 news articles just to hurt a few innocent children.

Im assuming if pro Palestine marches are to be banned as they are intimidating Jewish people, far right marches such as those organised by Tommy Robinson will be banned as they intimidate Muslim people?

It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since we left the UK. Life is so much better. We have driven 2000 miles, my husband and I have talked so much about what we went through and for the first time in a long time we are feeling more relaxed. I feel like I can breathe again...

We stayed overnight in a beautiful village in the mountains of Spain and found this mural on the wall of the local football club. Was lovely to see.

A large street mural on a pale wall showing Elsa from Frozen, with beard, holding a detailed anatomical heart painted with rainbow colours and gender symbols. Next to her, bold black text reads “LOVE IS LOVE,” followed by hashtags about being who you want to be, 0% violence and 100% respect. The lower part of the wall is worn and chipped, with pavement in front

Had a weird new experience this week now that we have left the UK. Took my sons blocker prescription to a pharmacy who cheerfully dispensed. Given the hoops we have to jump through normally to get it, i can't quite believe it.

After multiple delays and drama, we finally left the UK this morning. Im angry we were forced into it but so relieved that we don't have to spend our days worrying about all the new ways the government are concocting to harm my child.

As one of the families who met with him, this has made me sick. Wes Streeting has done nothing but harm our kids since they day he tool over the job. He is far worse than any of his Tory predecessors.

1 - My son was in hospital before Christmas with a life-threatening condition. One which will require support for the rest of his life. We were transferred to another hospital, and he has been seen by a fairly large multi disciplinary team.

Watching the GC lot tear into Cass is interesting. The narrative is that she has always pandered to trans children. Meanwhile, I'm sat hearing the stories every day of the children whose lives she has absolutely destroyed. Stories of parents who are distraught and don't know where to turn.

1 - My son and I met with Wes Streeting last year with other families. He heard the most horrific stories of children refused blockers and how it impacts them. We begged him not to ban blockers, and he promised to work with us, to have further meetings.

Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

Also at the end of the 24 month study, after 12 or 24 months on blockers, the young people have to go back to MDT review panel at the end of the study and every year for renewed approval of continuation of blockers. There's a serious threat of withdrawal of blockers hanging over them for years.

Beccas can't be choosers@beccanical.bsky.social · 9mo ago

puberty blockers for trans kids with no prospect of moving to HRT after is like dangling somebody over an active volcano and going "what don't you feel better already? you're not even falling yet!"

Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare It demands young people re-live distress & undergo intimate examinations #ConversionPractices

I wrote this thread last night based on the leaked protocol. The protocol is now public and matches the leaked one. All of my very serious concerns about this abusive study stand. Please read the below thread for more

Some leaked (not verified) info on the puberty blocker trial linked here. In my own thread I will briefly highlight the two key measures they are prioritising. A short thread 1
