The also cited an @ObserverUK editorial @soniasodha @paulfwebster
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The Law Commission recommends including transgender under "stirring up offences" but explicitly recognises the need for protection of freedom to talk about sex and gender.
It disagreed with Stonewall and GIRES on this
Take a bow all you brave people!

This is another win against the expansive and authoritarian definition of "transphobia" being pushed into our institutions.

The Domestic Abuse Commissioner today launched a survey.

It does not ask your sex.

Does. Not. Ask. Your. Sex

😢
People have different needs and the survey is to tell government what those needs are.

But @CommissionerDA has already decided that there are no needs that are different depending on sex.

Everything must be mixed sex.

She is not even going to collect data on sex.
The @CommissionerDA says that their work abides by the @womensaid Research Integrity Framework

The government published and then unpublished the "easy reading" version of the consultation.

Luckily @SexMattersOrg saved a copy

The easy reading guide shows how poorly thought out this legislation is.

It reveals that the ban would target teachers
"Conversion therapy is an an attempt to change ... the gender you want to be"

Sexual orientation means "the gender you are attracted to"

🤨 Let's look at the evidence....
Here is how the Coventry University study defines conversion therapy...
They compare it with their preferred approach "unconditional acceptance"

On @BBCWomansHour at 10: Interview with @stonewalluk Nancy Kelley

I hope @Emmabarnett challenges her on comparing women who won't pretend that they can't see sex to anti-semites, and lesbians to racists if they rule out dating any men.

bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Also how she thinks their guidance to allow males to self ID into "female" spaces (changing rooms, toilets, showers at work, uni etc..) accommodates Muslim, Sikh, Jewish women ...
Emma: why do you want to do the job.
Nancy: I am a lesbian. I am married. I adopted children. My life has been transformed.
So to repay Stonewall for its work for LGBTQ people

@RobinAllenQC chairing opens:

The law must be clear and certain, comprehensive, enforceable and practical
@JayneOzanne about how she travelled the world seeking conversion therapy.

Conversion Therapy;

The silent phase - for me 20 years
- you struggle with a secret. You will be seen as damaged goods.

I had a breakdown.

I reached out to my church & went through therapy and prayer

Does anybody want to buy a bridge?

Galop is crowdfunding for £10k to "keep our National Conversion Therapy helpline open"

You might think that is an odd thing for a £1.6m organisation to do....
Until you learn that Galop only raises about £15k a year from donations.

The rest comes from government contracts.

Galop say in their Crowdfunder that work with victims of conversion therapy "every day"
Which is odd because when Stonewall, Mermaids etc did a national survey they could only find 43 people who said they had had such a negative experience in relation to gender identity
