She then went further, claiming, “Trans women without access to gender-affirming care are significantly more likely to attempt suicide — one in five will try.” She appears unaware of the peer reviewed studies showing no decrease — and in some cases, even a rise — in suicidality following surgical or hormonal interventions. Nor did she seem familiar with the high rate of mental health comorbidities among trans-identifying individuals. It wasn’t just sloppy — it was grossly irresponsible….
Astonishing to hear that old discredited suicide canard being raised still. Yes, grossly irresponsible – but that's the Lib Dems.
No one discussed the Cass Review, detransitioners, or the steady rise in children referred for medicalisation. Nor did anyone comment on the right of women like the Darlington Nurses not to be forced to share their private spaces with men.
While these MPs were emoting in unison, the man once dubbed the UK’s first “openly trans MP,” Jamie Wallis — who now goes by “Katie” — was facing charges for harassing his ex-wife. This isn’t even his first scandal. In 2022, Wallis — then a serving MP — crashed his car into a telegraph pole while wearing fetish gear and fled the scene. He also previously ran a “sugar daddy” website. Politicians who lined up to salute his courage appear to have forgotten him.
An unwelcome glimpse into the sordid reality of trans women, as opposed to the fantasy version of the most persecuted group ever.
Most people outside Westminster assumed that when the Supreme Court clarified the law, reality would return. That institutions would begin to reintroduce sex-based policies. That women’s hospital wards, domestic abuse shelters, and changing rooms would revert to being single-sex. But in that chamber on Monday, it was clear: the cockpit crew are still filming dances, mid-dive, for their shrinking audience.
And the rest of us? We’re still strapped in, watching the ground get nearer.
