Given that the ban is included in the King's speech I call on the government to publish the bill and give it its first reading before Xmas recess.

Introduce laws to allow children to use puberty blockers, choose gender & names
Introduce laws and safeguards to make sure that transgender children are legally able to use puberty blockers (but not undergo surgery until 18) and are able to change their names legally themselves. I want the government to ensure they are protected from transphobic parents or guardians.
Legislate for the statutory regulation of 'Counsellor' and 'Psychotherapist'
Legislate to make ‘Counsellor’ and ‘Psychotherapist’ protected titles regulated by the HCPC. The Government should also review how this could include influencers and life coaches offering mental health services, ensuring all are subject to mandatory fitness-to-practise oversight.
Cancel the clinical trial into puberty blockers & safeguard vulnerable children
The government is aware of the potential irreversible impact (physical and emotional) of puberty blockers, having acknowledged an 'unacceptable safety risk’ following the Cass Review. Yet, hundreds of children are about to be given puberty blockers under a government-sanctioned trial.
