Sharing @indiawilloughby.bsky.social’s post, but with alt text added to the images.

And no doubt Streeting will lap up everything this coalition of four anti-trans hate groups has to say about us. 🙂‍↕️

#TransWomenAreWomen #TransMenAreMen #NonBinaryPeopleExist #IntersexPeopleExist #ProtectTransKids

Page one of a letter from Sex Matters, LGB Alliance, Transgender Trend and Genspect to James Mackay, CEO of NHS England, and copied to Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for health and social care, dated 28 April 2025:

‘Dear Sir James

‘We write to you as campaigners for human rights and ethical medicine to urge you to immediately cancel the planned trial of puberty blockers, which has been made untenable by the recent judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers.

‘The judgment confirms that the correct interpretation of the protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act 2010 is biological sex, not certificated sex (that is, what is written on a person's birth certificate, as modified by a gender-recognition certificate if they have one). As the Equality and Human Rights Commission has confirmed in an interim update published on 25th April, this means that spaces, services and associations provided for one sex only are not open to people of the other sex, either on the basis of gender reassignment (gender identity or being trans) or on the basis of possession of a gender-recognition certificate.

‘Children under the care of all gender services, both NHS and private, must now be told that they will never be able to access spaces or services for the opposite sex, no matter what legal or medical steps they take now or in the future. Such children will, throughout their lives, need to use either the spaces and services designated for their own sex or an alternative provided for both sexes (mixed-sex or single-user) if available.

‘This means that the entire premise of treatment with puberty blockers for gender dysphoria has fallen away. The drugs are intended to block gender-distressed children's natural puberty so that if they persist in cross-sex identification and progress to cross-sex hormones and perhaps surgery, they will "pass" better as the opposite sex. But passing as the opposite sex ceases to be a …’

Page two:

‘[But passing as the opposite sex ceases to be a] desirable goal to present to children when they will never be permitted to use spaces or services for the opposite sex, and may in future be restricted in employment in roles such as police officer or nurse which can involve intimate contact with others in situations where sex matters for those others' human rights. Instead it becomes a major, permanent social problem for those young people, since their future lives and freedoms will be seriously curtailed by being legally barred from using the other sex's spaces while appearing anomalous in those for their own sex.

‘We have always argued that it was unethical and a breach of human-rights principles to treat young people's mental distress with major, unproven physical interventions with known harms (including to their adult sexual function and fertility), and to promise them that they could intrude on other people's privacy, safety and dignity as well as put their own safeguarding at risk by using spaces for the opposite sex.

‘Now that the Supreme Court has ruled out the use of opposite-sex spaces, no promise can be made that medical treatment will enable a person to fit in or go unnoticed while using opposite-sex facilities. The use of these drugs on children too young to understand this is ethically untenable.

‘We urge you to cancel the puberty-blocker trial and arrange for an urgent review of practices in paediatric gender clinics in light of the Supreme Court judgment.’

The letter is signed by Naomi Cunningham (Sex Matters, described in the letterhead as ‘a human-rights charity promoting clarity about sex in law, policy and language’), Kate Barker (LGB Alliance), Stephanie Davies-Arai (Transgender Trend) and Stella O’Malley (Genspect).

Doctors condemn Supreme Court ruling on trans women as ‘scientifically illiterate’

The resident doctors’ wing of the BMA argued that a binary divide between sex and gender ‘has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender-diverse people’

Trump's executive order signaling his administration’s opposition to gender diversity and transgender identity as a whole is meant to cement a broader message: In his administration’s view, trans and nonbinary people don’t exist.

On day one, Trump pits his administration against transgender people

His administration will likely run into legal trouble as it implements policies on federal identity documents and housing in federal prisons.
