Standing up for single-sex spaces. Protecting children from dangerous puberty-blocker clinical trials. Speaking up to protect children. It’s been a busy week as Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities - and I’m only just getting started.

What a load of tosh. Puberty blockers have been used for fifty years in kids as young as seven to treat precocious puberty. They are safe and reversible. You just don’t like trans people & on the topic of puberty blockers it’s clear you don’t know what you’re talking about.

How do single sex spaces protect boys? How are puberty blockers "dangerous"?

Making shit up

The PB trial was recommended following the Cass review due to Dr Cass’ assertion that the evidence was poor quality. Now you want to stop that evidence being produced?

Given your tweet, I assumed you had some kind of advanced medical training. But I see that before you were an MP, you were an … actor. You weren’t even an actor on Casualty. So what’s next? You’re going to give clinical advice on the endocrine system? The pancreas?

Puberty blockers being framed purely as "dangerous" ignores the nuance of medical oversight and individual cases. Where’s the line between protecting kids and overriding their autonomy?

Protecting kids from experimental treatments is reasonable, but "single-sex spaces" policy often ignores trans people who already live legally in their gender. Where’s the line between safety and discrimination?

I wonder how these basic givens have been allowed to be contentious enough to merit political battles, when many issues require the country to address and prepare for or preempt. Anyways, let's hope common sense and common purpose is mainstream again.

Why did you do nothing with Alex's Jay's report?

Are all Conservative MPs also back on board with common-sense, reality-based policies, or is it all a charade and the moment you're back in power you'll be the uni-party again, inviting millions in from the 3rd world, letting our standards, traditions and cultures dissipate?
