Original Note:
This is false. Badenoch’s actual words were: “almost an epidemic of young gay children being told that they are trans and being put on a medical pathway” https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2023-12-06/debates/E7306EC2-EFCB-4331-BD82-F01FDF67CCBF/GenderRecognition?highlight=epidemic#contribution-A98EBBF3-F4D2-443F-A11E-D61D6BA72F77 Badenoch’s use of “Epidemic” thus referred to the act of telling children, not to “a group of people” as Osborne claims.
