Labour MP Alex Sobel pointed out the inconsistency in the Governmentâs argument. By saying that these drugs were dangerous, surely they must be dangerous for everyone, and therefore banned for all. At the heart of Sobelâs question is the principle that drugs donât discriminate, unlike this Government. No, fired back Streeting, because puberty blockers were safe for other conditions.
Somehow, the medication is supposed to know both who it has been prescribed to and how it has been prescribed. If itâs been prescribed privately to a young trans person, itâs supposedly dangerous. However, itâs supposedly safe if the exact same dose of the exact same medicine for the exact same purpose is prescribed to an intersex teen, or at some indeterminate point in the future, prescribed to a young trans person but only through the NHS.

What the hell does âlack of fundingâ have to do with withdrawal of an existing prescription? Disingenuous twits.

The NHS is in serious trouble because of 40 years of underfunding. Trans people are the first group to get hit by the consequences. Institutional transphobia doesnât help of course.
With that in mind, who do you think gets their prescription, a trans person or some Tory who wants their viagra?

Casey had zero to lose by making a principled stand.
Heâs always supported trans people before this.
