1./ The Great Conversion Therapy Ban Cover Up.
The Scottish government invited journos in a few days ago to brief them on its proposed CT Ban. Guess what wasn't mentioned? The ONLY research from the UK ever conducted into the subject, from 2021.
1/of 21
gov.uk/government/pub…
2./ The Scottish govt instead quoted from a 2017 National LGBT Survey; as now all Ban supporters insist on doing. But if the LGBT Survey was such useful evidence why did the UK govt commission specific research into Conversion Therapy, from a team at Coventry Yooni? Here's why.👉Image
3./ The Coventry research team spelled out why we should not rely on the National Survey. First, it wasn't a randomised trial therefore "it is not possible to make robust claims...or causal inferences". The Survey also relied on self-reporting. Guess what they said about that.👉Image
4./ By being self-selecting the findings of the National Survey are "vulnerable to biases". The Coventry team also complained recruiting through networks "may introduce sampling biases". The National Survey had used silly activist networks like @OzanneFoundn. Course they did,Image
5./ For these reasons the National Survey is no more accurate than any straw poll conducted among angry activists and drunk people at Pride marches (where people were indeed recruited). Why then didn't the Coventry research get a mention at the Scottish govt's press conference?
6./ The problem was the Coventry Report struggled to find much evidence of conversion therapy in the UK. So much so they had to trawl through "entries for conversion therapy in Wikipedia". Yep! WIKIFUCKINGPEDIA. Why didn't they just flick thru the Beano while they were at it?Image
7./ As for the previous research they analysed, 35 of the 46 studies were from the US. The UK is the most secular nation in the world. Why would we base our policy on research from a country full of fruitloopy evangelicals who DO often offer so-called "gay reparative therapy"?
8./ What's worse most of these studies were from 10-20 years ago. 2003/4 was another world in terms of homophobia. The Equality Act was only passed here in 2010. Only 3 studies were from the UK. What relevance can these old, American studies have to us in the UK now? Zilch. Image
9./ In addition to that old research, the Coventry team interviewed people today. But they only managed to pull together a whopping THIRTY "LGBT" people who claimed to have been offered or undergone "Conversion Therapy" in the last 20 years. Even then they acknowledged problems.
10./ With fabulous understatement the Coventry team admitted of the 30 people they dredged up, "their experiences may not represent current practices". You don't say? And "such accounts may not always be entirely accurate due to needing to rely on people's memories". No shit.Image
11./ There's another reason the Ban Campaign has ignored the ONLY actual research from the UK specifically into Conversion Therapy. And from only 3 years ago. Guess what? A third of interviewees reported secondary benefits from their experience of the "Therapy". Whoops....Image
12./ Yep, far from all the Coventry research interviewees being traumatised by "conversion therapy", one third reported "a sense of connection and belonging with other men in the same situation". I was amazed as, I bet, the Coventry team were by the findings. But facts are facts.Image
13. Or they should be. Interviewees cited "lasting friendships..and a sense of community." One said, "it's still helped me today with things that aren't to do with my sexuality". So much for all that talk about electrocution and beatings. The Coventry research gets stranger.👉
14./ The team could find only 6 trans people in the whole of the UK who'd been offered Conversion Therapy in the last TWO DECADES; and only 3 of them claimed to have undergone it. All this is why its findings have had to be airbrushed. It didn't fit the preconceived narrative. 👉
15./ RECAP. The Coventry research was commissioned precisely because the LGBT Survey did not pass muster as serious evidence. When it then proved to be the dampest of squibs the LGBTQ+ lobby tried to bury it. By the way, don't imagine the Coventry work had a Gender Critical bias.
16./ Far from it. This research was commissioned at the high-tide of Stonewall influence at Westminster. The head of the Coventry team, Adam Jowett (he/him inevitably) was a paid up LGBTQ+ activist who cared so little about neutrality he retweeted attacks on @RosieDuffield1. Image
17./ He also lampooned the Nolan Investigates podcast which exposed the baleful influence of Stonewall. That's why his team's inability to come up with any evidence that "conversion therapy" in the UK is either widespread or universally traumatic is so important. And telling.Image
18./ We're told by the LGBTQ+ lobby that so-called conversion therapy haunts the land; torturing gay and/or trans people. Yet even when a lavishly-funded, hand-picked group of LGBTQ+ activists tried hard to find any evidence they failed pathetically. Is that cos it doesn't exist?
19./ No one wants anyone gay, trans or whatever, to be forced into changing their identity or even their viewpoint. The truth tho is the only time anyone researched the subject seriously they found no evidence it's happening on a scale that should make it any sort of priority.
20./ The tragedy is the LGBTQ+ lobby is manufacturing a fact-free scare about "conversion therapy" in order to enforce so-called "gender affirmation". This deliberate transing of gender non comforming kids is the real conversion therapy. And the scandal of our age.
21./ You can read more on this subject, discover lots of other exposés of toxic gender identity ideology as well as other woke affectations by subscribing on the link in my bio. My wonderful paying subscribers enable me to keep doing this sort of deep-dive research. 😉

1./ The Mystery of the Missing Evidence.
You gotta laugh. The LGBTQ+ lobby is so used to No Debate it now can't tell fact from fiction. To support its dodgy Conversion Therapy Ban (ie enforced Transing Kids Bill) they're quoting the daft National LGBT Survey from 2017Image
2./ The Civil Service considers that Survey such a joke it ignores it. Respondents were recruited by Stonewall and other trough-feeders at Pride marches. They were also urged to take part in order to help change govt policy so were incentivised to lay it on thick. It gets worse.
3./ The tweet by the councillor is disingenuous. Only 2% claimed to have undergone 'therapy'. The other 5% were only offered and rejected it. But what does offered mean? And what was it they were offered? The Survey never bothered to define either. And that's a problem.

1./ A Conversion Therapy Ban would be a paedophiles' charter and here's why. One reason is it would undermine parental rights. This may be no accident. For the idea at the heart of the Ban campaign - gender identity - emerged out of horrific research used to justify child abuse.Image
2./ When Emma Roddick said, "everyone has some kind of gender identity, even if it is none" she wasn't just being incoherent. She was promoting an idea she wouldn't touch with a bargepole if she knew its origins. Many think John Money was the father of gender identity. He wasn't.Image
3./ Money popularised the idea but it was the psychiatrist Robert Stoller who invented 'gender identity' and first developed the theory suggesting a child's biological sex could be in conflict with its "core gender identity". It was an idea rooted in misogyny from the start. Image

1./ When the Scottish govt tells you a Conversion Therapy Ban is progressive just remember this global campaign was launched by a Big Pharma grifter working for the Trevor Project in the US. He'd previously helped the pushers of Oxycontin.

2./ The campaign's spokesperson was Sam Brinton who concocted a fake conversion therapy story that kept changing. Long-time campaigners against genuine conversion therapy were appalled but the LGBTQ+ lobby refused to investigate Brinton. I wonder why. 👉losangelesblade.com/2022/12/09/sam…
3./ His made-up story was just the sort of tear-jerking fantasy the media lapped up and it was making LGBTQ+ lobby groups way too much money to stop. It all fell apart tho when Brinton was arrested for stealing women's luggage from airports. It gets worse.

1./ Who Are the Real Holocaust Revisionists? Trans activists slurred @RosieDuffield1 claiming she denied historical facts. But it's they who rewrite the history of the Holocaust. They claim trans people were targets of the Nazis. Here's how they weren't, in any meaningful sense.
Image
Image
2./ When I disputed this claim angry trans activists pointed to what they said was proof: a discussion by "queer historians" on the subject. As so often the trans lobby was confusing fact with its own wishful thinking. This discussion turned out to prove the very opposite.👉 Image
3./ In the video Anna Hajkova explains researchers send her any cases they find of 'queer' victims of the Holocaust. She's got 50. Guess how many are "trans"? THREE. But 2 were Jewish, one half Jewish. There is no proof they were targeted for being 'trans', as opposed to Jewish.

1./ The Women's Institute proves the rule that any institution that supports trans ideology will end up promoting paedophilia. 2 years ago they put Petra a fetishist bloke on their mag cover. Now they're platforming a notorious child-abuse defender, Nettie Pollard. Who she? Image
2./ In 1976, the NCCL minuted a motion in Pollard's name noting "with disapproval the continued harassment” of PIE, which is ­“working for the rights of adults who are sexually interested in children”. Yet now she's been invited to talk in a WI workshop on grassroots activism.
Image
Image
3./ Nettie Pollard spoke out in NCCL and left wing meetings against any legal age of consent. Her promotion of paedophilia also didn't end in the 70s. In 1993 she contributed an essay to a book that defended sex between adults and children if they were ...."willing partners". 🤮

1./ When did the notion that some people could be 'born in the wrong body' first hit the headlines? Earlier this year I wrote about the extraordinary trial at the Old Bailey in 1917 where the dancer Maud Allen accused Noel Pemberton Billing, a right wing MP of libel.

2./ He had claimed she was a leading member of a lesbian conspiracy, the 'Clitoris Club' that was being used by the Germans to subvert Britain's war effort. Mad, uh? The tabloids loved it because there had been a spate of gay scandals in Germany among its military top brass.
3./ Billing called witnesses who testified about the sinister influence of Urnings, the word coined by Karl Ulrichs in the 1860s to describe gay men (the word homosexual hadn't been invented yet) and the work of the psychiatrist Richard Krafft-Ebing on sexual pathologies.Image
