A loss of trust in her leadership

Susie Green says she will go right on destroying children’s lives.

An organisation led by the former chief executive of the transgender support charity Mermaids has vowed to keep on helping children get access to puberty blockers, despite a permanent UK ban.

Anne Trans Healthcare, co-founded by the former Mermaids leader Susie Green, hit out at [criticized] Labour after it was announced that the government would keep a ban on the drugs for under-18s.

Green, 56, was dismissed as Mermaids’ chief executive in 2022 over a loss of trust in her leadership, a Charity Commission report into the organisation revealed.

The following year she set up Anne Trans Healthcare, which offers access to puberty blockers for under-18s and boasts of having secured a “legal route” to get them to Britons. Anne, of which Green is a director, says on its website that patients can get them prescribed from doctors outside the UK and sent to an “EU destination” for pick-up.

Green confirmed to The Times that Anne Trans Healthcare was still “supporting people to access legal routes to gender-affirming healthcare”.

She said: “We will continue to do so despite a UK-wide ban. We do it because to do otherwise would be morally and ethically wrong. The ban is cruel, prejudicial and frankly inhumane.”

Green said she had “seen the positive impact that access to puberty blockers has on young people’s lives”.

And young people never ever grow up to regret things they did to their bodies when they were young. Cocaine, alcohol, fentanyl, whatever, it’s all good. Bring on the body modifications!

She added: “I truly believed that the Labour government would not take this ban forward following the consultation process. Parents reported that they had told him of the anguish caused by the ban and Wes Streeting stood there and told those young people and their families that he heard them.

“Yet he walked away and chose to ignore them, as he has also ignored the 59 per cent of consultation responses, from respondents of his choosing, that said a ban should not go ahead.”

He didn’t “choose to ignore them”; he chose to protect them from lunatics like Susie Green.
