Dear UK residents. I’m sorry to be tedious, but I’m going to do the trans Cassandra thing again.

The government is now moving towards regarding trans people as effective children until the age of 25.

This will be established as precedent and then used to screw over any and all young adults who can’t escape from abusive parents, especially young women.

If you want to do anything about this, you need to fight for trans people. Yes, you. Now.

We all know that isn’t going to happen to any significant extent though.

As you were.

@goatsarah @christineburns they want to break Gillick competence. Trans kids are the wedge they're using. But as in the US, they were never going to stop there.

And extending "children" to refer to people up to 25 is also, as you say, not going to stop with trans people.
