The draft Conversion Practices Bill would silence therapists, harm children and divide families.
That is the warning of our new report, which is based on 30 in-depth interviews with mental-health professionals.

The government says the draft Conversion Practices Bill will stop horrific abuses. But existing law already does that: what the new law would do is criminalise conversations. Ordinary, loving parents trying to protect their children are at risk.

The BMA should stop using ideological and confusing language like “gender history”. A doctor or nurse providing intimate care always knows a patient’s sex.
“Comparing clear NHS guidance with ‘transphobia’ is a sign of how far activists at the BMA have gone from their pledge to do no harm.” @MForstater in @DailyMail

Sex Matters is heading to the High Court on 3rd and 4th November.
We’re challenging the City of London Corporation’s decision to allow men who identify as women to use the Ladies’ Pond, including its changing rooms and showers.
The City has a lawful option: keep the Ladies’ ’s Pond for men and the Mixed Pond for both sexes. We’re asking the court to hold it to the law.
Support our cause: sex-matters.org/take-action/cr…

We agree with @bphillipsonMP, minister for women and equalities, that parents shouldn’t be prosecuted for having difficult conversations with their children.
But there is nothing on the face of the Conversion Practices Bill that protects them. We wrote to ask her to put that right.

And we shared the anonymous interview with a mother of a detransitioner:
“If you’re trying to kind of encourage them to explore those very important underlying questions, then arguably, you know, you could be accused of ‘psychological pressure’ and ‘coercion’.”

We have asked the minister to write to the joint committee raising the importance of ensuring that parents are not captured by the legislation and asking her to commit to amending the bill to make sure that normal parenting is not criminalised.
The minister says that parents should not be caught. If that is the aim, the protection belongs in the bill, where a court can read it – not in a newspaper article.

Is the Equality Act the cause of cancel culture, or does it protect free speech?
Come and see @akuareindorf and me @KCLFreeSpeech on Friday.

Bridget Phillipson says the conversion practices bill won't target parents.
There is nothing on the face of the bill that says parents are protected.
She says the test is “serious physical or psychological harm”.
In fact the bill sets the test much lower at “serious alarm substantial adverse effect on their usual day-to-day activities”.
This could easily capture parents who don't let their child wear a binder or go out dressed as the opposite sex.

Fantastic session on the Conversion Practices Bill at #BattleFest - unnecessary (most acts already illegal) & draconian legislation that could criminalise family relationships, have a chilling effect on free speech & introduce 'gender identity' & self-id into law by the back door

This is an extremely powerful interview by Helen, and utterly heart-breaking.
This wonderful mother and the wonderful father she speaks about here would have been jailed under the ill conceived and draconian Conversion bill.
Highly recommended listening.
