I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.
As ever, it is the enablers of the far right that have the least excuse.
My answer to that is that we should be funding real art facilitator attendants to assist people in those circumstances. I have met disabled artists who have made a real living by getting the help they need to make amazing abstract art. It can be done.

"Legitimate concerns" latest.
If it sounds like a Nazi and marches like a Nazi and waves flags like a Nazi, guess what it is.
"Shutting down scientific inquiry because it discovers things you don’t like is a bit like turning off all the instruments on your plane because they warn you there’s a mountain ahead. It may satisfy your immediate urge to live in denial but will soon turn deadly." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
At the outset of the Iran war, the Trump administration’s rhetoric leaned hard on Iran’s cruelty to its own citizens as a reason to intervene. That was always bullshit, but stuff like this makes it cruelly undeniable bullshit.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.
These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).
Forced medical detransition.
This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Trans adolescents accessing the only NHS route to healthcare (WellBN) have been through a stressful year long transphobic investigation.
For a year they have sat under the threat of forced medical detransition.
With significant negative impacts. 1/2
