🇨🇦 You can follow the progress of #billc6 to ban 'conversion therapy' at this link.
parl.ca/LegisInfo/Bill…
The bill is the same wording as Bill C8 from the last session with all the multiple drafting flaws. While Minister of Justice @MinJusticeEn David Lametti has been /2
that the bill is not intended to criminalize private conversations or expressions of opinions, he has not been very clear on what it does ban. Everyone is agreeing that certain forms of conversion therapy' very band and should be banned but nobody can say what they are. /3
This is not acceptable when you are talking about criminal laws which carry a maximum penalty of give years in prison. Is there anyone in the government who can give a concrete example of a practice that the bill will ban or an example of a practice that is permitted? /4
For example, would it be acceptable for a therapist to recommend that a teenager for cross sex hormones because he or she had autism spectrum issues which had not been explored. What about a blood condition that might make hormone treatment dangerous?

Some of the drafting is just thoughtless. There is a blanket ban on any attempt to reduce or repress non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behavior. The plain meaning of these words would ban therapy for minor attracted person or someone with a harmful sexual fetish. /6
The bill defines conversion therapy as changing gender identity to "cisgender." How do non-binary, agender, gender fluid or any of the hundreds of other possible gender identities fit into this wording? How will this language impact therapy for detransitioners who want to /7
re-identify which their natal sex? Did anyone in the government consider these issues? Will anyone in Parliament consider them before the bill is passed?
Please note that I do not equate being LGBT with pedophilia. The bill fails to make this distinction. At minimum, it needs to be amended to permit therapy to repress or reduce sexual behaviuor which is harmful or unlawful.

1/ Some good news from the UK. The @Sullivan_Review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender will likely have a wider effect on breaking the destructive hold of gender ideology than the Cass Review.
@Sullivan_Review 2/ The review is a comprehensive rejection of the ideas and assumptions behind gender ideology. You can read the full report and an executive summary here. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk gov.uk/government/pub…
@Sullivan_Review 3/ The basic premise of the review is that sex and gender identity are both important factors in people's lives but they are separate and government agencies need to record them separately. Image

1/ The BC College of Nurses and Nurse Midwives (which recently found Amy Hamm (@preta_6) is not getting much love on Google. It has a one star rating and the first review reads, "The staff are very unprofessional and boderline abusive." Image
@preta_6 2/ If you sort the reviews by date, the most recent review (from a month ago) is a five star review but after that the reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Out if 161 reviews I could only find 2 other positive reviews and 10 ratings that were above 1 star. Image
Image
@preta_6 3/ There were repeated complaints about rude staff, cumbersome bureaucracy and fees that were excessive in respect of other provinces. All of these reviews predated the Amy Hamm decision and some of them go back to before the complaint was filed. Image

1/ The Amy Hamm (@preta_6) decision is a defeat for women, free speech, law, science and common sense. It is a fundamental denial of Amy's freedom to advocate for women's sex based rights. I'll try to do a longer analysis but here are some preliminary comments.
@preta_6 2/ The decision is 115 pages long, consisting of 85 pages of reasons and a 30 page appendix which discusses specific statements. There will be a further hearing on penalty and costs. You can read the full decision at this link if you can stand it. jccf.ca/wp-content/upl…
@preta_6 3/ The panel says that it considered only statements where Amy was identified as a nurse or nurse educator. The problem here is that it is hard to publish or give interviews in the media without providing this kind of basic biographical information.

1/ If the US Supreme Court strikes down Colorado's law against "conversion therapy" to change gender identity, that would do far more, in the long term, to protect gender dysphoric youth than a simple ban on medical transition of minors.
2/ While most conversion therapy laws have exemptions for some form of exploratory therapy, transgender activists promote a narrow interpretation which puts any therapist who questions the assumptions of the gender affirmative care model at risk.
donoharmmedicine.org/2023/12/18/sen…
3/ The concept of conversion therapy cannot be applied to gender identity, which is is a poorly defined and unstable concept. Gender Dysphoria is a complex phenomena with many potential causes and man potential resolutions. jme.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.…

1/ Today's Executive Order is being widely celebrated as a ban on youth transitions. In fact, a total ban is outside of executive power and even the power of Congress, but there is no doubt that medical transition of minors will be significantly limited.

2/ All federal agencies are ordered to rescind policies that rely on WPATH guidance and the Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed to publish a literature review of best practices for treatment of gender dysphoria in children within 90 days.
3/ Federal agencies are directed to require that hospitals and universities that receive federal research and education grants "end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children." If this can be enforced, it will shut down all of the biggest gender clinics.

1/ 🧵🎉🍾🥳 A 2024 year end review of the great gender debate. This was the year the world reached peak trans. The public at large has had enough of the absurdity and excess of gender ideology and politicians are listening (or losing if they don't).
2/ The years started with an attempt by the World Health Organization to create a new guideline of transgender health with a hopelessly biased development group.

3/ Despite a comment period that ran over the Christmas break the was worldwide push back, including a strongly worded letter from the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls. WHO responded by extending the comment period.
