Please can you explain the reason for and the benefits of gender incongruence being classed as a sexual health condition rather than a mental health condition? Thank you 🙏

Well it’s most definitely not a mental health condition! Gender incongruence is simply a part of human diversity, not caused by any mental illness.

Trans people in many counties have been pushed to the sharp end of politics as a result of far right trumpist propaganda. The constant dangerous narratives that cast everyday trans people as the worst in society is making life intolerable for many. As a trans woman i feel let down by politicians who seek to dilute human rights in ways that leave transpeople unprotected in law. Leaders of the Labour party especially have betrayed their political roots and their once political beliefs that supported vulnerable communities in a capitalist society. Kier Starmer's committment to implement in full the Supreme Court ruling on sex and gender demonstrated an absolute ignorance and knowledge of the lived experiences of people in the trans community, especially when the trans community were denied input into the enquiry by the Supreme Court. He was pandering to the pretend king in America and displaying a moral weakness that is not what is appropriate when dealing with bullies.

I don't understand why the Public should have the right to decide the fate of any transgender child. The N.H.S. exists to care for the whole public and nobody has the right to order clinicians to withhold care from any one section of that public. Politicians are not health experts and when they make life changing/damaging decisions and then hide behind the excuse of acting in the interests of children it is an obvious deception. They are demonstrating their own lack of Humanity, Parliament has no right to pretend they serve the public in this matter.

I think it is significant that the Trump regime has openly crushed the right of Transgender people to exist in the USA and has demonised immigrants because the UK regime has followed suit. The UK, cynically, is pretending to have given the public a say in the matter.

I am a Freelance Journalist and have been investigating NAZISM. There is a direct link from the defeat of Germany in WW2 and the spread of Nazi controlled wealth and power which is enabling modern day Nazism and Zionism. I think all those who have within their Heart’s, the Spirit of Humanity, can see the bigger picture. My original investigation was not into Nazism incidentally. I wanted to understand the concept of evil and the fabled Anti Christ and that led me to Nazism and an explanation of how and why Hitler came to power in such a short period of time. xx
