Subject: Labour looking at banning puberty blockers
I told you people that just because the Tories were thrown out on their rear ends in disgust that it didn't portend a massive, left wing shift in British public sentiment. You, of course, believe the opposite.
That's cool.

Labour moves to ban puberty blockers permanently
Wes Streeting to agree with Tory ruling on powerful drugs for under-18s as party toughens stance on trans issues
Hmm. Doesn't sound particularly "liberal", that.
A ban on puberty blockers could be made permanent as the Labour Party takes a harder stance on transgender issues, The Telegraph can reveal.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, intends to stop powerful hormone blockers being given to children via any means, subject to the outcome of a legal hearing.
Laws to ban the blockers being supplied to children by private or off-shore clinics were passed by Victoria Atkins, his predecessor, in emergency legislation ahead of the general election.
But these are due to expire on Sept 3 and the new Government had to decide whether to pass a law to make it permanent. It is understood Labour will now seek to renew the ban with a view to making it permanent.
Politics are complicated, and believe it or not, some outfits still run on what should be the best policy.
