A group of transgender teenagers begun occupying a ledge at Wellington House in central London on 28 June, urging political pundits to stop discriminating against trans youth. Several banners, including ones that read, “We are not pawns for your politics” and “trans kids deserve better” remain stuck to the entrance of the building. Ahead of Starmer’s landslide win in the general election, one of the youngsters told PinkNews they have had enough of politicians using transgender kids to score political points.
