Liz Truss GRA template

Dear Liz Truss,

Like many people in the United Kingdom, I have been watching in horror as anti-trans rhetoric and legislation has swept through British media, politics and public life over the past decade. I find it gravely concerning that you in particular are planning to amend the Gender Recognition Act to ensure that life as a transgender teenager is even more fraught with shame, fear and outright danger than it already is under the guise of “protecting” such teenagers from matters pertaining to their own mental and physical wellbeing. 

Trans youth deserve access to puberty blockers. They deserve safety and protection. They deserve happiness.

I demand:

- The release of the full results of the GRA consultation.
- Clarification on your intentions with respect to any proposed legislation.
- A commitment to no politically motivated restrictions on trans healthcare.
Robust guidelines for schools prohibiting homophobic and transphobic discrimination and bullying to be restored.

The vague announcements you have made regarding legislation have had a profound effect on peoples’ lives and health already, and your words have been a source of enormous stress and anxiety among transgender youth in particular. As you know, this group are already at increased risk of suicide, depression and self-harm.

I note that you have been engaging with Transgender Trend on Twitter. They are a hate group formed by parents who consider trans children in schools a danger to other children, and it is unacceptable that you as a public servant are engaging seriously with such discriminatory groups.

I demand you to use your power to make the world safer for transgender people.
