Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

On May 31, NHS England sent a letter to every patient on the waiting list for puberty blockers, stating that possession of such blockers will be considered a crime. The letter follows an edict issued by Conservative Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Mary Atkins and also mandates that transgender youth who obtained their puberty blockers through private doctors must discontinue their medication. This letter and edict mean that the United Kingdom now has some of the harshest policies targeting transgender youth of any liberal democracy in the world. On May 29th, Atkins announced on twitter, “Today I have taken bold action to protect children following the Cass Review, using emergency powers to ban puberty blockers for new treatments of gender dysphoria from private clinics and for all purposes from overseas prescribers into Great Britain.” Following the announcement, she linked to an edict declaring an “emergency prohibition” on puberty blockers in England, Wales, and Scotland.

The prohibition relies on a decades-old law that allows for the emergency prohibition of medications without the need for a full legislative process; no vote was taken on the edict, and the order was issued just before parliament dissolved for the general election, meaning it could not be overturned. According to UK-based advocate Trans Safety Now, the last and only time such powers were used was in response to deaths among users of an herb found in some Chinese medicine in 1999. Jo Maugham, who leads the Good Law Project, stated about the use of these powers, “It is breathtaking that thousands or tens of thousands of loving families are going to be criminalized by a law made by a Minister, never approved by Parliament, subject to no consultation and the media is not reporting it." On Friday, following the announcement, Lee Hurley of Trans Writes released a copy of a letter sent to families on the NHS waiting list for puberty blockers. The letter indicates that those receiving puberty blockers from the NHS can continue taking them. However, given the enormous wait lists, a substantial number of families opted to get their puberty blockers through private practitioners registered in the European Economic Area or Switzerland—a fully legal practice in the United Kingdom. For those receiving their care through those systems, the letter states, “You will need to stop taking GnRH analogues unless you are newly prescribed them by a UK-registered doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. These medications can be safely stopped and you do not need to be weaned off.”

Critically, the edict does not only target providers; it also targets patients and their families. The letter states, “It will also be a criminal offence to possess these medicines, where the individual had reasonable cause to know that the medicine had been sold or supplied in breach of the ban.” When asked about this provision, Jo Maugham stated, “It basically says puberty blockers are being treated like other illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin.” He then followed up with the applicable law, which indicates that those who violate the ban could be imprisoned for two years. The decision comes following the publication of the Cass Review, a highly politicized document developed with a secretive list of advisors, some of whom were later found to be meeting regularly with political operatives of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida. 

The UK's hateful anti-trans crusade against gender-affirming care for trans youths continue, as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Mary Atkins (Con) issues a reckless edict ordering trans youth who obtained their puberty blockers through private doctors that they must stop using them.

Tommy Emmanuel’s “Accomplice Live!” - Great Music for a Great Cause

- Concert film airs during PBS fundraising campaigns

Listening to Tommy Emmanuel is always a good idea. Going to see him is an even better one.

And for those who can’t make it to the concert hall, there’s “Accomplice Live!,” captured Aug. 1, 2022, in Nashville for PBS stations nationwide and now showing during fundraising campaigns; check local listings.

As the name suggests, this film - like Emmanuel’s series of Accomplice EPs and LPs - features more than just the man considered by many to be the world’s-greatest acoustic guitarist.

Fellow guitarist Yasmin Williams and mandolinist Sierra Hull reprise their Accomplice Two recordings with the instrumentals “Mombasa” and “Precious Time,” respectively. Rodney Crowell joins Emmanuel for a duet on Hank Williams’ “Honky Tonk Blues.” And Emmylou Harris leads Emmanuel, fiddler Eamon McLoughlin and guitarist Pat Bergerson through the Beatles’ “For No One” and Les Paul and Mary Ford’s “How High the Moon.”

All the guests are splendid, adding their own special hues to Emmanuel’s technicolor sound, which includes every guitar trick known to man and a few known only by this Chet Atkins-designated certified guitar player.

But Emmanuel shines brightest on his own, whether he’s sitting to play a harmonics-rich version of “Over the Rainbow” or if he’s standing to deliver his fab instrumental “Beatles Medley.”

And when he pulls out the brush and uses it and his hands to transform his axe into an implement of percussion, the drummers in the room will likely feel as emasculated as the guitarists.
