Better late than never?
Yes, and very definitely ‘No.” I’m glad to see that the announcement of a scientific trial to test the safety and effectiveness of giving confused children puberty blockers is getting strong pushback in Parliament, even by members of the Labour Party who are empowered to challenge Prime Minister Keir Starmer because he is politically weak.
But, come on, man. Anybody who failed to stand up against the Mengele-inspired policy of sterilizing and mutilating children, or who supported those policies until it became politically risky, should pay an enormous price even thought they finally found the “courage” to speak out loud what they all knew to be true for years.
Under-fire Keir Starmer faces growing Labour revolt over child puberty-blocker trial

The Sun is reporting that Starmer is getting pushback after the announcement of a trial to test puberty blockers on kids as young as eight. It’s striking that thousands of children have been “treated” with puberty blockers and hormones for years, with absolutely no evidence to back up the claims by alphabet activists that such treatments are necessary.
Where were these Members for all that time? They were not only silent, but supportive of “treatments” that caused permanent harm.
Furious backbenchers have demanded the PM halt an NHS trial that would see kids as young as eight take hormone-suppressing drugs.

A handful of Labour MPs have publicly railed against the experiment, but many more have privately shared their concerns with The Sun.
One said: “The state shouldn’t be injecting 226 physically healthy eight to 13-year-olds to stop a natural biological process.
“Especially not when we don’t know the possible long-term damage.”
Another added: “I’m particularly concerned about the pressure that will be placed on the young people for the trial to be seen as a success.”
MP Jonathan Hinder, who has led the backlash within Labour, insisted that the trial was “uncivilised”.
He said: “When I was elected to Parliament last year, I knew that much of my party was still in the grip of this dangerous gender madness, but I thought the Government was starting to see sense.
I can’t speak to MP Hinder’s prior activism about gender ideology, but Labour as a party has been very active in enabling the sterilization and mutilation of children. The fact that it is on the verge, perhaps, of reversing course is good, but not good enough. Everybody involved in promoting this hideous practice should acknowledge they were wrong, apologize to the country and the victims, and resign.
This was not an “oops,” but a fundamental betrayal of their duty of care for children.
The same should be true of everyone involved, and for the doctors who lied about the evidence and convinced parents and children that not undergoing these barbaric procedures, there should be loss of medical license and perhaps jail, if they actively perpetrated fraud.
But none of that is likely to happen, because politicians and “experts” never pay a price for the damage they do, and often stay in power and move up, ready to create new disasters.
Giving credit to the people who fought the insanity is not simply just, but necessary. They were right, and the “experts” were wrong. Acknowledging that is vital not to pat the people who were right on the back, but to put firmly into people’s minds that being critiqued as a “conspiracy theorist” or crank doesn’t make you wrong, but just a dissenter from a “consensus” that itself is often wrong and dangerous.
Making the Mengeles pay a price is necessary not just for justice, but also as a lesson to others that lying and doing damage has high costs. If “experts” can lie and harm people with impunity, they will.
Obviously, we see it all the time.
There needs to be a reckoning, and so far there has been none on the COVID disaster and gender ideology. We can’t give up, or it will keep happening forever.
