Happy Easter, Wes Streeting

LONDON, OUTSIDE WES STREETING'S CONSTITUENCY OFFICE, 20 APRIL 2025: 4 young activists from Trans Kids Deserve Better dressed up as the Easter bunny and gave up their Easter Sunday to leave cardboard eggs outside Wes Streeting's constituency office in Ilford, London. These eggs, instead of being the chocolate ones they should be getting for Easter, were decorated cardboard written with the activists' demands to Wes Streeting.

They read: "we demand that you give us access to the appropriate healthcare", "give us adequate transitional support through the NHS", "do not coerce children into a medical trial in our desperation for puberty blockers". "We demand that you let us have a voice in discussions surrounding our own healthcare", "affirm our identities rather than trying to question whether we are 'really' trans or will 'stay' trans: we know who we are", "stop valuing anti-trans groups' voices over trans kids', especially when dealing with our healthcare".

The activists then threw eggs at the office, covering the glass.

Wes Streeting has shown consistent lack of regard for the welfare of trans people, especially trans youth. In November, he met with terrified trans children yet permanently extended the puberty blocker ban a few days later. He meets with anti-trans groups and those who seek to remove healthcare from trans youth, giving them the voice that trans children are consistently denied. His actions contribute to the ostracisation of trans people and the climate of uncertainty, fear, and desperation we experience on a daily basis.

Some of the acitivsts have issued statements on their feelings and intentions undertaking this action.

Merlin said: "We're here at Easter because every holiday is one we're not spending with our friends who are dead. Trans friends and comrades and others we don't even know whose deaths could have been prevented without the ignorant actions of Wes Streeting and the people whose hands he plays into. Trans people are not a threat and we are not confused.

We're throwing eggs at Wes Streeting's office because he can not keep getting away with pretending he has genuine concern for our wellbeing when all of his decisions acknowledge that they are putting us at risk. He calls himself scientific and unideological whilst ignoring real science that disagrees and playing into ideological transphobic dogwhistles. Wes Streeting, this is a reminder that we will not go quietly. We will not go at all. We will keep making ourselves heard like this, the only way you have given us, until you actually listen."

Tomfool said: "I'm taking part in this action because I am angry. Wes Streeting has ignored trans kids' desperate pleas again and again and again, and I am so done with it. We drop a handmade paper coffin at his constituency office door every day. We have handed him one in person. We've sat outside his constituency office overnight. We've made a speech at his department after a die-in and left our headstones and coffins there. He's given us hope by telling us we could have a meeting with him, starting to organise that, then ghosted us. I am so, so angry with him.

Wes Streeting is supposedly a devout christian, yet he lacks any compassion for the people his policies affect, preferring to make decisions based on his profit from donations. He lacks integrity, pretending to care so deeply for trans children while blatantly ignoring us.

So on this Easter Sunday, a day which he will be celebrating, meant to denote jesus' resurrection, we're once more trying to get his attention. The trans children that Wes Streeting is sacrificing for money will never be resurrected, but he can still prevent further deaths."
