Several of our team members, including our co-founders, attended the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine’s conference last week in DC. We are happy to have been featured in this article by @Bernard_Lane on one particular speaker ⬇️
Parents of ROGD kids recently surpassed 3,500 members – certainly not a milestone to celebrate, but validation that connecting with others in your community who are also navigating gender dysphoria with their children can provide some comfort during an otherwise overwhelming and isolating situation. If you’re a parent of a child who has come out as transgender, asking to be medicalized, etc., reach out to us and we will connect you to a support group in your area: https://t.co/2jm6zlwpHe
From the age of 14 Claire Abernathy's body was irrevocably damaged. Her voice, her genitals and her chest.
"The clinic specialized in “drains-free” mastectomies, a procedure associated with higher rates of nipple graft complications.
Parts of my chest tissue turned black and died. I was left with open wounds and permanent nerve damage."

People died. The treatment was declared a success. The Dutch Leaks uncover warnings that should have stopped medical transition from becoming an established treatment. Instead, these irreversible and radical interventions were given to children. One day, we will look back on that decision as we now look back on lobotomies.

What happened to police acting without fear of favour? It is eroding public trust for victims including if you have to report a male abuser who is trans eg your dad. https://t.co/XMK2GK0imP
1,300 peope responded to the consultation on Northern Ireland's proposed Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill. 6.5% of the responses to the controversial legislation were in favour.
"Alliance urged to drop controversial conversion practices bill as it is overwhelmingly rejected in public consultation.
The DUP says the “overwhelming opposition” can’t be ignored, and that fresh questions have been raised about the extent to which the practices exist after evidence from health bodies."

Bayswater parents come from all across the political spectrum and we are tired of our children being used as pawns for point-scoring between different parties.
We reject the suggestion that when a child spirals into distress and rejects their own body that is simply "who they are" and not "something to be fixed".
There are significant problems with the draft bill that need acknowledging and addressing. That is our focus, and it should be the government's focus too.
Looking for a therapist who will take the time to explore gender-related issues?
The Beyond Trans Therapist Directory connects parents and individuals with therapists who take a psychological approach to transgender ideation.

🇬🇧 EVERYBODY is concerned about the proposed Conversion Practices Bill. So why are the UK Government pressing ahead? @spikedonline have now weighed into the fray.
"Labour’s Conversion Practices Bill is an Orwellian nightmare
Parents who question their children’s ‘gender identity’ could face criminal prosecution"

Clause 5 of the conversion bill covers just about every form of organisation and certainly includes all companies. Galop who support this bill say that it covers “misgendering”, I actually agree with Galop’s analysis and think the bill is so wide and poorly drafted that it could.
I’m sorry but I can’t countenance this.
Legislation is not used for virtue signalling.
We have laws that prohibit abusive and discriminatory behaviour. We don’t need a new poorly drafted law just to ‘demonstrate’ we think conversion therapy is bad.
I will never vote for a bill at second reading just because I like the intention but not the detail. Our country must demand more of its legislators than that.
