Teenage trans activists begin an encampment outside the office of Wes Streeting constituency

LONDON, OUTSIDE WES STREETING'S CONSTITUENCY OFFICE, 11 DECEMBER 2024, 8:00 PM Today young activists from Trans Kids Deserve Better established an encampment outside the constituency office of Wes Streeting the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

The decision to take up camp outside his office was made after the health secretary announced the permanent ban on the prescription of puberty blockers in the House of Commons.

The ban, based on the widely discredited Cass Review has stripped trans+ youth of one of the only sources of medical care that we have access to, including from private providers.

"Wes Streeting has chosen politics over our lives. We are being put through an experiment, but the experiment is to deny us healthcare, not to provide it. He wants to see what happens to us when we grow up permanently altered in ways we never wanted, and we never consented to be part of that." - Grin
