Listen to Sue's story where she talks about the state of therapy today & the impact on it of gender ideology - it's fascinating. Find it on YouTube & all the podcast platforms:

With the UK Gov launching the dangerous conversion practices ban, here's a clip of @SuePHall talking about counselling young people & how therapists are stifled in fear of being accused of 'conversion therapy'.
A lot of therapists will just not risk counselling children & people who think they are 'trans' or 'non-binary'.
Parents will be frightened of being reported to social services & having their child taken away.

🚨Breaking: The UK government has published a draft ‘Conversion Practices Bill’🚨
As expected, it is an utter nightmare. The fact that Stonewall is celebrating tells you everything you need to know.
On the week that it pushed forward with the puberty blockers trial, the government may now rob children of the opportunity to become comfortable in their own bodies.
It includes no exemption for parents. Parents who try to dissuade their children from ‘transitioning’ could be criminalised and put in prison for 5 years.
It further enshrines the notion of ‘transgender identity’ in the law and makes the offence ridiculously broad: “conduct causing someone to believe that they have or do not have a transgender identity”.
It further enshrines the notion of being ‘non-binary’ in the law.
The protection for therapists and other medical professionals is severely lacking, with a test of ‘reasonableness’ created. There is also a low threshold for what constitutes ‘abuse’.
Make no mistake about it, this Bill will criminalising talking. It poses a significant threat to freedom of speech, religious freedoms and to the safeguarding of vulnerable children.
It must not be allowed to become law.

I don’t want these lunatics anywhere near me or my band or my fans.
Also “Benjamin Cohen, the founder and CEO of LGBTQ+ media outlet PinkNews, and his husband, Dr. Anthony James (the company's COO), face severe allegations of sexual misconduct, workplace bullying, and misogyny.” ..
New Unsilenced Project - @SuePHall talks about her first experience of trans ideology in practice.
“I stopped working with the two clients very quickly… It just felt like something else. It didn’t feel like psychotherapy at all. Kind of felt like a tick-boxing process.”
@SuePHall Sue stood for UKCP chair to preserve exploratory therapy & protect young people from rushed medicalisation. Despite an aggressive open letter campaign, she raised the profile of gender-critical therapists & gave many the courage to speak.

I am begging critics of the puberty blocker trial to stop getting lost in the weeds arguing about research ethics, Gillick competence, informed consent, fertility preservation and the like. The NHS’s refusal to complete the Data Linkage Study (DLS) before proceeding with a new trial is the ONLY argument worth making on this issue. Everything else is a distraction.
The DLS would find out what has happened to all the children who have already taken puberty blockers. There is NO justification for proceeding with a puberty blocker trial before the DLS is complete. The entire programme of future research in this area should be informed by its results. The fact that the NHS is getting ready to run a live experiment on vulnerable children before it has even established the fate of those it has already experimented on is utterly damning.
The deeply disappointing Dr Cass should be widely derided for her ridiculous comments on ‘harm reduction’. The DLS IS harm reduction. Critics of the trial must stop fighting on their opponents turf by quibbling over technical details. We need to relentlessly force the DLS onto the agenda and expose the shameful hypocrisy of the NHS. DO THE DLS.

@SAshC_Opinions If you bothered listening to what @justsay_mother says in the full story, she talks about how the money should be ideally spent on women's health rather than research. But the trans came along & as usual, poisoned the well & here we are.
Had a fantastic and enlightening time at the House of Lords today with @_ConnieShaw , @MaeveHalligan and Serena Worley, discussing the experience of being gender critical at university. Culture changes when people are willing to speak up, even when doing so comes at a cost!
“We want to restore women's words, to protect women, safeguard them, so women can speak without fear.”

“This is wrong… you don’t need a medical degree or a science degree to know that it is WRONG!”
@jamesmurray_ldn, or whoever is Health Secretary in a fortnight, should listen to @Jonathan_Hinder and #StopTheTrial
Charity chair admitted that taking away the words “woman” & “mother” was upsetting women who had lost babies, but did nothing.
Prioritising ideology over women’s grief & mental health.
