'A real history of gay pain is being used as an excuse and a Trojan horse.'

Director at the Gay Men's Network Dennis Kavanagh warns the UK government's proposed conversion practices ban turns gay people into 'second-class victims' to smuggle gender ideology into law.

“Will refusing to use a child's preferred pronouns amount to an abusive conversion practice? That's not clear”

Pretty devastating legal analysis from @irwinmitchell

https://t.co/YIipyag0sb

[Simon Calvert @SimonCalvert14]

From a leading law firm specialising in education: “The [Conversion Practices] Bill is broadly drawn and raises difficult questions for schools and colleges about where legitimate safeguarding ends and potential criminal conduct begins.
Those questions are particularly important when the Bill is considered alongside KCSIE and other guidance and legislation applicable to children. KCSIE requires schools to take a careful approach to children who are questioning their gender. Staff may need to ask difficult questions, involve parents and make safeguarding decisions which do not accord with a child's wishes.”

Please submit evidence to the committee examining the draconian conversion bill, a law so homophobic it makes saying to your daughter “I want you to grow up to be a happy lesbian comfortable in your body, I don’t believe you are a man” a crime.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

⏰ Only 5 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee.

The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting.

You don’t need to know the law to send a submission. Use our template and give three short answers in your own words:

•⁠ ⁠Does the bill do what the government says it will? No – say why.
•⁠ ⁠Does it fill a real gap in the law? No – say why.
•⁠ ⁠Is it clear what would be a crime? No – say why.

Add one line about who you are. Done. Every single submission counts ⬇️

3/ But it’s now time for the government to think again, this issue is far more complex and serious than gender activists pretend and it’s only right in a democracy that people have a fair say.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

1/ Serious Law firms are now raising problems with the conversion bill.

I’m really concerned the deadline for submitting evidence is this coming Monday16th at 5PM

This is an absurdly short timescale for people just getting to understand it.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

2/ If the committee want to do serious pre legislative scrutiny they should extend this deadline. It’s artificial and many people are only just realising how tyrannical and strange this bill is. I appreciate this deadline was not set by the committee but by government.

🚨 “Would you be prepared to go to prison?”

On this week’s episode of the FSU Podcast, women’s rights campaigner Helen Joyce joins @_ConnieShaw to discuss the Government’s draft Conversion Practices Bill.

@HJoyceGender, Director of Advocacy at @SexMattersOrg, explains why she believes the Bill could affect parents, teachers, employers and faith leaders who challenge trans ideology. She argues that the abuses the Bill claims to address are already outlawed, and that it could reverse recent legal victories.

Asked whether she would be willing to go to prison, Helen replies: “I absolutely would.”

The Joint Committee of MPs and peers is scrutinising the Bill, and anyone can submit evidence by 5pm on Monday 16 November 2026.

Fantastic Helen!

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

Great conversation with @_ConnieShaw about the awful Conversion Practices Bill, which is the most serious threat to free speech in this country right now

[Fiona @DerryBanShee]

Indeed. When the bill was being drafted, we asked then-minster Olivia Bailey MP what abusive practices need to be criminalised that aren't already covered by UK law. She couldn't answer. She said that would emerge during the process.

She has denied that normal parenting or prayer is the target of the bill. But that seems to be the answer.

Please do consider slipping @DPUK26 a fiver or more.

They work tirelessly on behalf of detransitioners without a penny from the government.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

@SamBarber1910 @andyburnham I don’t agree. A bill may permit of an academic possibility yet political reality of captured police and CPS would regard these people as helping her with her “gender identity”.

This is the real conversion and it will be entrenched and catalysed by the bill.

Just submitted my evidence to the Conversion Bill committee. ‘Don’t make jokes’ and ‘don’t lose your rag’ are quite hard strictures to follow, it turns out.

@OldRoberts953 Good on you Gareth!
