This is important. Conversion therapy advocate, Stella O'Malley, offers "training" to psychotherapists, teachers & others. The professional organisations & unions need to get the hell off the fence & start protecting young LGBT people from these abhorrent practices! @IACP_ie

It is abhorrent for this event to go ahead in a week when 2 trans people & 3 others have been killed in an #LGBT bar, along with 3 others, & a trans woman was one of those who risked her own life to save others! Please let the organisers know how you feel!

We need to STOP THIS NOW! Stella O'Malley's allegedly "up-to-date thinking" has helped fuel a climate where trans rights are being rolled back in Florida, in Texas & in Britain. Her activities expose LGBT people, especially young LGBT people to grave danger. #EndConversionTherapy
The best tribute you can pay this week to the 5 killed & 25 injured in #ColoradoSprings & to the customers who fought back & saved many lives is to get this event cancelled in their honour. Conversion therapy is ABUSE of LGBT youth! #EndConversionTherapy

#LGBT people & allies in #Cork, please contact @LiveLifeNowEve1 & ask them to cancel this event as a mark of respect for people killed & injured in #ColoradoSprings. Therapists, please ask your professional associations not to recognise this event as #CPD livelifenow.ie/current-events
Teachers & nurses, please tell your employers you refuse to be "trained" in anti-LGBT conversion practices. Please ask your unions for their support. This has gone on long enough! #EndConversionTherapy livelifenow.ie/current-events
Most importantly of all, PARENTS, please contact your children's schools. Tell them you support LGBT rights & will remove your children from any school that legitimises conversion practices. #EndConversionTherapy NOW!
Stella O'Malley's organisation, Genspect, connects parents with dodgy therapists who save their own professional arses by training parents in #DIYConversionTherapy, instead of doing it themselves. One particularly horrific example is described here.

In a (since-deleted) blog post, Genspect Therapist, Stephanie Winn, describes what she calls "a thought experiment" that dangerously aims to create aversion to medical treatments in children, by the non-therapeutic use of acupuncture needles & painting their bodies with scars.
A cached version of that deleted blog post is here. It makes difficult reading... web.archive.org/web/2022071903…
.@UCC students, alumni & staff, you should make UCC aware that, despite having cancelled the venue, UCC's name is mentioned in tweets advertising this event (in an attempt to make it seem a lot more academically respectable than it is?)
