blocking puberty blockers isn’t even a cass recommendation, Wes is doing it because he’s ideologically aligned, or thinks enacting policy that is ideologically aligned is politically savvy. Either way makes 0 difference to the kids it harms and is not backed by data, only christo conservative rhetoric.
She’s articulating labour front bench policy, it’s vile and gross with the technocratic aesthetics stripped away. Failing to remove this woman, condemn the comments, change their policy stances, is all but further support.
Starmer himself was flirting with this sort of language prior to the election:

You don’t have to defend this stuff, it’s abhorrent, we can say labour is fucking up. They’re well and truly past the benefit of the doubt stage now, they’re sailing the ship.
I have a slightly different take on Cass because I simply can't find a higher evidence base, despite the fact that I don't like her conclusions. I have a feeling this is why Wes has gone along with it. It is gross, but I at least understand the logic and if you were feeling charitable you could call it 'evidence based'.
But Rosie Duffields' comments are straight up vile. She should be kicked out of the party for this. She won't be, but she should be. She is a bigot.
