Yet, still, the trans campaigners refuse to show any shame. “This is a cruel new element of the war on trans youth,” the group TransActual said. “It will irreparably damage people’s health, wellbeing and life chances and departs from international medical practice to pursue a political agenda.”

If anyone is “pursuing a political agenda” here, it is the groups persuading pupils that changing sex is a lifestyle option. When the inevitable class actions start, suing for damages for infertility and other life-changing disorders, I do hope trans-activist lobbyists are around to foot the bill.
