The decision follows a review after a sharp rise in referrals were recorded at the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, which is closing at the end of March.

Bad news, folks. The Tories have proven yet again that they’re complete and utter wankers.

      Yeah. I heard about this on the radio, and my first thought was, “Oh shit, those suicide rates are going to skyrocket.”

      My second thought was “Should I throw a bucket of gravy over whoever’s responsible, or should I come at them with a cricket bat?”

        “Oh shit, those suicide rates are going to skyrocket.”

        Oh nah, people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of this decision. More many will have scars.

        It’s still murder—still assault—if the weapon you form against a person is their own beleaguered hand.

        I weep for needless death.

        I vote cricket bat, then throw a bucket of gravy on them as they lay on the ground. Then spit on them. Then kick them… A lot!
