There was a big legal win for trans kids a few weeks ago, but you would be forgiven for having missed it – unlike the gleeful media circus when trans rights are stripped away, the triumphs scarcely register.
December’s cruel High Court ruling in the Keira Bell v Tavistock case effectively banned puberty blockers for trans under 16s in England and Wales, unless they got permission from the court. But on 26 March, that ruling was effectively reversed.
The Good Law Project, which crowdfunded the case, said in a statement that the new ruling was “hugely significant”, because it “means that children with [parental] support will no longer be barred from accessing puberty blockers by the Bell decision”.
