Ahhh Pink News have successfully taken reporting out of their newsroom with this going out unopposed... https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/04/03/wes-streeting-trans-puberty-blockers/

Young people can only be "questioning". Puberty blockers have been banned but the trial to "investigate their safety" (for trans kids only, cis people can continue taking the "risk"). They're taking away "routine" hormones for young people (routine?!?)... But treatment is not paused... You can still get conversion therapy. Sorry, "talking therapy"

Wes Streeting: ‘Every trans person deserves safety and respect – that’s not up for debate’

Writing for PinkNews, Wes Streeting says he wants to reassure trans youngsters that they have not been forgotten.

But it's all OK, he has empathy and knows what it's like because he's gay.

So that's all good...

Oh, and don't forget he's targeting neurodiverse folk next...

Any reporter led newsroom targeting queer folks would be ripping that to shreds - even Attitude managed to do something when Starmer wrote before the election and they're not really a newsroom...
