  1. >The short-lived former PM, who spent just 49 days in office, is reportedly set to bring a Private Member’s Bill that will ban under-18s from accessing hormone therapy and block the state from recognising their social transition.

    Uhh.. So she wants to criminalise a 17-year-old trans boy from calling himself Joe?

  2. Can we propose a new law banning Liz Truss from speaking in public and stripping her of her unearned pension?

  3. I’d like to put a 5 000 miles restraining order on Liz truss.

  4. Does Liz Truss actually believe in anything? After her radical libertarian thing flopped this rebrand into the hard right comes off very cynical. A lib dem until she fell in with the tories, and as right wing as she needs to be to get any attention. The worst and most spineless kind of politician.

  5. Dealing with the burning issues facing millions of people in the UK I see..

  6. I wish they would focus on fixing our country.

    Trans people make up a very small minority of this country and I don’t see them as a problem so why all the hate?

  7. Can we also ban the government from changing its mind on HS2?

  8. That picture sums up her so very well.

    Why are the Tories so hell bent on a small group of people just trying to be who they want to be. They’ve got the biggest hate boner I’ve ever seen. If this was a person they would be done for harassment.

  9. Shut the fuck up, Liz. You had your shot and you couldn’t even outlast the most boring ingredient in a shitting salad. You were so keen on being one of the Tory goodfellas you took 2 pumps and wore your policies out and even tried to blame your stooge who you put infront of the media to sell your shitty performance. You were the shittest grifter I’ve ever seen.

  10. The Tories are utterly obsessed with other people’s genitals. Regulating them, inapropriately touching them without consent, looking at pictures of them in the House of Commons, you name it.

  11. Can’t wait till the voting public proposes this stupid bitch fucks off.

  12. Another day another attack against transgender people by a dying political party clinging to power out of selfish desperation and willing to whip up hate against innocent people in a bid to save their own careers.

    The next GE can’t come soon enough we need to get rid of these absolute ghouls.

  13. So are they actually just after child suicides or what?

  14. You mean the same Liz Truss who almost bankrupted the country, who wiped billions off our economy almost instantly? The same Liz Truss who was outlasted by a lettuce?

    She can keep her stupid thoughts to herself.

  15. Truss and Braverman.

    Those two chucklefucks are on a race to the bottom to become leader of the opposition.

  16. Why is she anywhere near power after her run as pm. Just disgraceful.

  17. Your regular reminder that many Libertarians are not actually libertarian.

  18. 16 year olds can fuck, have kids, and join the army, but shouldn’t be allowed to live as themselves and/or be recognised as the person they are?

    Fuck these ghouls.

  19. Children need to be protected…from them and their parents consenting to a treatment recommended by a medical expert inline with research done into the topic

  20. Ugh! This will cause the mental health crisis to spiral even further. There’ll be active rise in suicides. The Tavistock Centre was very good at counselling vulnerable gender confused children and would only provide hormone treatment after extensive assessments. There needs to be support NOT criminalising vulnerable children. The Tories really are vile.

  21. We already have the Gilick Competency within which people part 14 have the right to medical autonomy.

    Beyond this, practically speaking, doctors tend to listen to the child patient even in cases of youth as its the more ethical thing to do. We have precedent of 12/13 year olds refusing further experimental cancer treatment and tranisitioning to palliative against the wishes of the parent.

    Why for some reason does this all go out the window with gender?

    Like I get completely not doing surgery on a 11 year old, they are too young to understand and whilst they wait for that age puberty blockers will stop them going through irreversible puberty that may well ruin their body image for life.

    By the time your 16, you are criminally responsible, as in we will put you away for life. but god forbid you want to change gender. Its just plain bigotry.

  22. How telling that just as the covid inquiry is making the government look particularly shit, they’ve warmed up the anti-trans machine again. Just a friendly reminder that regardless of how you feel about the topic of transgender rights, it affects so few people in this country that it should never, ever be in the news this much above actually important things like whether or not people can afford to live, or were banned from seeing their dying relatives while this lot were holding Christmas parties and saying “let them die”.

    It’s a distraction tactic, don’t get sucked in.

  23. Of course, now Liz Truss is resorting to transphobia to keep her as the darling of the Tory base. She really is awful.

  24. So far right American evangelicals are dictating British law now?

  25. Announcing this during the trial of two people for the violent murder of a trans child, who was explicitly not permitted to have their name legally changed and so had to have their death recorded under their deadname, is in *phenomenally* poor taste. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised; these Tories have never shown any evidence of having a soul before…

  26. Honestly why? They are all so desperate to hang onto their jobs at any cost they will trot out any old culture war bollocks if they think it might gain an extra vote somewhere – god I wish they’d all fuck off and when they got there fuck off some more
