@AnnelieseDodds Sorry, why is Anneliese going on about #banconversiontherapy? The topic is legal recognition of non-binary identities, pay attention, Dear.
She always says she's very clear, when's she's as thick as mince.
@AnnelieseDodds Err, nobody who is a "feminist" would be trying to redefine women as a female single sex class. Women is not a mixed sex category, Love.
@AnnelieseDodds@MinFreerHMG Of course you can't answer a question on whether kids under 18 should take puberty blockers without parental consent, yet you think you should be able to make this decision on the basis of "equality".
Unfit for the job.
@AnnelieseDodds@MinFreerHMG What does Jack Daniel coming out as gay in football have to do with non-binary legal recognition?
He's a bloke playing in a blokes football team?
Not a bloke playing in a woman's team?
Stop conflating the issues, Mike.

On 20th June, MP's will have a debate on adding trans folk to the Conversion Therapy Bill. This piece illustrates exactly why this is a bad idea.
17 year old female attempts to destroy the livelihood of Dr. AZ Hakeem because of exploratory therapy. inews.co.uk/news/long-read…
Lyle claims to have "panic attacks" because Dr. Hakeem asked questions like,
"have you ever heard of trans-racial people?”
"What would you think the difference between that and being trans is?”
And how transitioning would affect Lyle in future relationships.
We know there are elevated rates of mental illness within the transgender population & that patients with poor underlying mental health may be less likely to be affirmed as transgender, & may experience this as "invalidating".
David Renton is Allison's Chamber Mate. Shared direct office space with Allison, just the 2 of them, for about 10 years.
This white man, educated at Eton, decided to furtively record overheard conversations of his Black Lesbian colleague, and grass her up to Head of Chambers.
David Renton claims's he's "fond" of her. If this is how he's treats people he's "fond" of, I would hate to know how he treats people he dislikes/ isn't "fond" of.
Btw, David Renton grassed Allison up on evidence that wasn't "compelling" either.
R (FDJ) v SSJ showed a prevalence of sexual offending by the known transgender prison population of over 50% compared to a prevalence of around 18% in male prisons generally

"There can be no government by the people if they are IGNORANT of the issues to be resolved, the arguments for & against different solutions & the FACTS underlying those arguments."
I have finally had the opportunity to access the supplementary bundle, as I've had difficulty during the course of the #IStandWithAllisonBailey trial, and reading the sheer level of evidence and detail relating to the cotton ceiling is shocking.
People need to be informed.
And I'm saying this as someone who is familiar with basic concepts of the cotton ceiling.
The Nation needs to know what's happening to Lesbians, but they won't do if trial bundles are made inaccessible to the public via strategic legal briefs, keen to spare their clients blushes
