UK Health Minister: The left ‘has spent the last ten years
trying to shut women up’ regarding transgender ideology
It’s hardly a secret that hard-Left politicians are adept at transforming themselves like chameleons into whatever form that they feel is necessary either to gain power or hold on to it. The Cass report on transgender drugs is one such case. The Labour Party has endorsed the Cass report, although it is critical of the aggressive trans agenda and of the push for transgender drugs. Transgender advocates have used bullying and intimidation in order to shut down the voices of women as it waged its culture war. In essence, the Cass report challenges the scientific basis for supporting the medical transition for children. And so, as the UK’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Atkins states, it is “hypocritical” for the Labour party to endorse the Cass report. That it is, since the Labour Party has been entrenched in the trans ideology, but is now attempting to walk a fine line in its efforts to hold on to maximum support. Already, Labour is attracting criticism from its most devout trans activists:
Left Wing Has Spent Decade ‘Trying to Shut Women up’
For Transgender Ideology, Says UK Health Minister'
by Oliver JJ Jane, Breitbart, October 11, 2024:
The UK Labour Party is hypocritical to now endorse the deeply critical Cass report on transgender drugs given it has been “part of the ideology, the culture wars” for the past ten years, a government health minister says.
Dr Hillary Cass published the full, nearly 400-word NHS-ordered report into the state of children’s transgender “services” in the health service on Wednesday in which she made a series of serious criticisms and recommendations. The Left-wing Labour Party — gunning to become the new government at national elections later this year — was quick to say it would adopt all 32 recommendations made by Dr Cass, but present Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Atkins angrily slammed the rhetoric as hypocritical given — as she claimed — Labour had been part of the problem all along.
The report had shone a light on “bullying” and intimidation in the debate around trans issues in the United Kingdom, with Dr Cass herself saying she’d been attacked for leading the review and said the environment was “exceptionally toxic”. Reflecting this, Atkins said on Thursday morning that Dr Cass had been “incredibly brave” in her work and said “a culture of ideology and dare I say it intimidation ahs [sic] been allowed to trump the interests of children and the basis of clinical evidence” in an interview with London broadcaster LBC.
Further speaking to Sky News Thursday morning, Atkins said: “Labour has spent the last ten years trying to shut women up when it comes to this. They have been part of the ideology, the culture wars… creating an atmosphere of intimidation for anyone who dared to question this ideology, so it is a little bit rich of the Labour Party to be lecturing the rest of us now, having been so forthright in their support for this ideology in the past.”
The culture in intimidation that “trumped safety and evidence for the care of children” will now be stopped, Atkins vowed, and said the government has already taken some steps including closing the controversial Tavistock clinic which had been at the centre of the ‘treatment’ controversies, and the NHS has now banned hormone blockers for children and young people. A further government review would now come to understand the “consequences” of the “treatments” given to some 9,000 children who presented as transgender to the Tavistock clinic. Not only would this help understand what had happened and how to stop it from happening again, it was also important so “so we can help and support those young people”, she said….
