White people are terrified of being seen as racist.

If white guilt permeates the online world and our schools, then our adults will feel guilty too.

This helps neither whites nor ethnics.

My ARC speech:

[Neale Hanvey🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JNHanvey]

This Bill rest on a dangerous lie. Its true purpose is to criminalise any comment or dissent of gender ideology.

Around 90% of children/young people referred to GIDS were just gay. This legislation would see all of them denied proper support & subject them to irreversible harm.

I started dying when I saw how many goalies the kiddos had 😂

But this is brilliant!

So fun!

[Dr. Dr. P: A "dreadful, middle-aged woman" @Psychgirl211]

The very concept of a 'chestfeeding' man is utterly abhorrent and completely indefensible, (or it should be).

Male galactorrhea is a dangerous chemical sludge.

It has no similarity whatsoever to breastmilk.

But even if it were a combination of the Elixir of Life and a cure for cancer, it is still a secretion coming out of a MAN.

I keep thinking that, Star-Trek style, I've gone through a breach in the space-time continuum and have woken up on a parallel Earth, where the evil Terran Empire is running the universe.

I keep thinking, "surely this cannot be happening", "this cannot be real".

It's 2026.

We were meant to be having flying cars and free unlimited energy.

And living on the moon.

But, instead we've got paedophile men orally raping babies.

And almost nobody seems to mind.

Where does this end?

When is enough, enough?

[Jo Bartosch @jo_bartosch]

Homophobic scum. This will not only criminalise parents who want to protect their LGB teens from trans groomers (aka ‘egg chasers’), it will force therapists out of the profession leaving the most vulnerable without support. Shame on every MP that supports this.

[Rebecca Cobb @Rebecca_did_it]

There's concern from some about why the police would come to my home to tell me I have a son. Clearly it must have been because I'd done something terrible. No actually, it's because the other adults I had entrusted her safe keeping to - the school and her dad - had completely failed in that duty.

About a month before the school counsellor had asked me to consider giving us both a bit of space by letting her stay with her dad exclusively for a couple of weeks. I agreed - I was ready to try (pretty much) anything - I did not want my girl to be unhappy, I hoped in the space she'd find understanding that we could disagree but still love.

A month later she didn't turn up at school - neither her dad or the school let me know. The police had been out looking for her all day. They didn't tell me either.

At about 6 that night they came to ask if she was with me. This was the first I knew that there was a problem. I asked if they'd been shown a picture of my daughter - they said "we've had a description of your son". Remember, she was an unmedicalised teenager, she did (and does not) look like any kind of man.

If you can't see the inherent problems with the police looking for a boy, when it's a girl in danger, well I hope you never have to experience anything similar.

The conversion practices Bill will land people like me, and professionals who put the safety of children before their career prospects, in the courts and maybe in jail.

If that bothers you - tell your MP, and join @alliancelgb in the coming months as we campaign to protect the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and their families.

One of the most thought provoking speeches I've seen in a while.

@Miss_Snuffy on how raising a generation to see the world through oppressors and the oppressed is changing the West.

The parent in this case who tried to stop his daughter getting a potentially fatal dose of testosterone from Helen Webberley's Gender GP would be guilty of a conversion offence under Labour's Section 28 announced today.

Well done Labour MPs, you must really hate us.

So isn’t this film, a form of conversion therapy aimed at tomboy girls in primary schools?

‘Accompanying worksheets reinforce the born in the wrong body narrative and encourage allyship framed around immediate affirmation of the declared identity’

Pity Scotland’s MSPs & staff who don’t know what sex they are or which toilet to use. It must be tough being that confused so with a little help (a lot actually) from AI I have made this helpful primer. Feel free to send it to your MSP’s office, we can’t have our lawmakers left in the dark.

[Bayswater Support @BayswaterSG]

A draft conversion practices bill has now been published. We will continue scrutinising the detail, but we believe this bill constitutes an indefensible incursion by the state into family life with devastating impacts for parents who are trying to support their children in what is already a hostile environment.

https://t.co/wWWdnWlaMY

Individual parents, parent-led support groups like @BayswaterSG, and healthcare professionals (including the NHS paediatric gender services) continue to be subjected to a barrage of false accusations that they are engaging in "conversion". This draft bill adds the threat of criminal prosecution to those wildly inaccurate claims.

Even if the bar for prosecution is high, the chilling effect and the detrimental impact on public understanding of transgender identity is profound. One thing we can be sure of is that accusations of conversion will come thick and fast, as they have done over the last decade. Escaping prosecution will be scant consolation for those subjected to this onslaught of fabrication and intimidation.

The threat of being prosecuted for corporate conversion means that schools will be even more inclined to affirm a child's attested cross-sex identity, despite safeguarding advice to exercise caution. The potential psychological and lifelong medical consequences for the child will be less of a concern to a school than its own legal risk under poorly defined legislation.

The press release for the bill claims "robust thresholds that protect open conversations, and free speech", but those are nowhere to be seen in the bill itself.

Instead, the bill relies on subjective assessments to define what constitutes criminally "abusive" conduct, stating that this would need to involve "controlling or coercive words or behaviour" or "use of psychological or emotional pressure".

Accusations of psychological or emotional abuse are rife when it comes to transgender identity. If this bill becomes effective, parents will justifiably fear that such accusations could now escalate into a threat of a criminal offence that carries a penalty of imprisonment up to 5 years.

But that is not the only concern for parents who must now worry about the prospect of a "conversion practice protection order" should they disagree with their child over the merits of a "transgender identity" as the explanation for the child's experience. Any parent who fails to affirm their child's "transgender identity" or who voices concerns about a belief that mind and body can be mismatched in this way could be accused of exerting "psychological or emotional pressure" under the terms of this bill.

None of this will help the parents of a distressed young teenager who is convinced that her "transgender identity" means she needs to source DIY testosterone to modify her body in line with her identity. Or parents frantic with concern over their young adult son, who is failing to hold down work or social relationships, all while pinning his hopes of happiness on a medical transformation with significant risks to his long-term health and well-being.

Most importantly of all, this bill will harm the very people it purports to protect by enshrining in law a belief that is inextricably bound up with rejection of the body and psychological distress.

[Claire Coutinho @ClaireCoutinho]

We just forced a vote in Parliament to stop the Puberty Blocker trial.

The Government voted it down.

These children are perfectly healthy. They need our care and support - not to be experimented on with life-changing drugs.

Expertly argued by my colleague @drcarolinej

[Lord Moylan @danielmgmoylan]

I simply cannot understand how a British government of any political persuasion can embark on an experiment on children known to have irreversible and harmful consequences.

Will @AndyBurnhamGM stop this? Please.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

The Conversion Bill is Labour's Section 28.

It is now illegal to tell your teenage daughter she should grow up to be a happy lesbian instead of securing puberty blockers and testosterone

That's the real conversion therapy.

Telling gay teens they are sick and need fixing.
