Rushed through last minute before parliament is dissolved using emergency powers.

Should’ve been debated in the commons at least.

No new patients under the age of 18 in England, Wales and Scotland will be given hormones to suppress puberty if they are experiencing gender dysphoria

Puberty blockers sure are funny old things, somehow they’re safe to prescribe to cis kids, but when prescribed to trans kids they suddenly become dangerous. I’m sure this is a purely evidence based policy. It must be. Wes Streeting has already endorsed it and, as people on here keep saying, Labour are the trans-friendly™ option. They wouldn’t just throw trans kids under the bus.

Transkids get access to these drugs just as easily as ciskids.

I mean, not if they’re banned as per the OP, surely? Not sure what you mean here?

They aren’t banned for use as a treatment for precocious puberty, which presumably is something anyone can suffer from trans or otherwise.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
