“I say we must get rid of the PC of gender reassignment - or if we are stuck with it, make it clear that it cannot apply to children under 16 years.”
Indeed, we must get rid of the PC of gender reassignment. It’s long overdue to speak bluntly and truthfully about the major limitations and inherent harms of “sex changing” procedures and surgeries. Children at 16 are still far too young to consent to such permanent alterations. Many say that age 25 is when the brain is more fully developed.
There is only one way to stop this its to repeal the fiction known as tarns being able to change sex, they cannot. Repeal the GRA, this is the most abused piece of ligislaton. What matters more for every person on the earth is sex, gender is a woo woo rainbows and glitter, mpradical mastectomy, penile inversion, and removal of testicles, also removal of womb, cervix, boobs. This is not a neutral act, this destroys peoples bodies. On X twitter tonight Barry Wall put up an absolute heartbreaking story of a child groomed by a 40,y o male self I'd as a woman who bombarded him with misinformation and drugs with no doctor prescription, it's a distressing read, I think it should be widely retweeted
I see that you don't subscribe to many Substacks Celia M....but given that you seem to like a lot of my comments on Free Press and elsewhere, you might find Slouching Towards Bethlehem of some interest: https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/
Ultimately we will remain in a pickle in all of this until the root cause is addressed by repealing the ludicrous GRA, which has brought the law into disrepute by dabbling in fantasy rather than reality, revoking all GRCs ab initio and amending the EA to remove the PC of gender reassignment. Anything short of this is tinkering with the problem rather than fixing it.

Children would take their parents religion until they had capacity to object I guess
Does the PC of religious belief also apply to children under 16? Surely the same arguments about competence apply.
