2/ We are not alone in our concerns. Dr. Cass was clear that it is harmful to compare exploratory therapy (and we add to that basic parenting) to a conversion practice. A child's self diagnosis should never be treated as definitive by any responsible adult.
2/ Conversion Practices legislation worldwide says doctors must accept the self diagnosis of vulnerable and confused children presenting at gender services. We've highlighted that most of these children grow up to be gay or are autistic before. https://x.com/MensNetwork1/status/1614869076681318400?s=20
https://twitter.com/PA/status/17675780396494685262/ We responded to the NHSE consultation in November 2023 making the point that it would be unethical and reckless to prescribe experimental and irreversible drugs, even in "exceptional" cases or clinical trials.

2/ Gender medicine is riven with institutional homophobia and takes no account of autism spectrum overrepresentation in the patient cohort. Staff at the UK Tavistock GIDS "joked" that "soon there will be no gay people left". This is modern day gay conversion therapy.

2/ So-called "conversion therapy bans" cause gay conversion. UK figures state that 80-90% of the children and young people at gender clinics are same sex attracted. The vast majority will grow out of cross sex ideation if left to go through puberty. CT Bans make this impossible. 

2/ Children should not be the subject of medical experiments principally aimed at achieving cosmetic objectives. We say this is unethical and we question how a child could possibly be "Gillick competent" in law to sacrifice profound life experiences as yet unknown to them. 


2/ Together, we pressed concerns each organisation has regarding the homophobia inherent to gender identity ideology. In particular we stressed the plight of detransitioners, gender healthcare more generally and self ID. https://twitter.com/MensNetwork1/status/1635001116634263552?s=20
2/ We stand shoulder to shoulder with Lesbians who are being told they are "sexual racists" for simply being lesbians.
