Hughes stated, "As a queer person, I have often felt alone and marginalised within society. However, I historically have felt that at least the Labour Party had my back."
Hughes expressed concern that the ban on puberty blockers would lead to "increasing self-harm" among vulnerable youth, highlighting the impact on an already marginalized group.
She emphasized, "We have let the LGBT+ community down and I want no part of it – there is no LGB without the T for me, it is that simple."
The Labour Party's stance, according to a spokesperson, is that children's healthcare "must always put welfare first and be led by evidence."
