An impact assessment which misses so many of the points @soniasodha has made is an impact assessment in name only.
If the #ConversionPracticesDraftBill becomes law Labours legacy will be of overarching incompetence & deliberate blindness to facts.
@andyburnham
#BinTheBill
Absolutely!
#BinTheBill
The Galop report analysed cases from frontline services. The “hundreds” were actually just 51 people who specifically sought help for alleged conversion practices.
Surely the #ConversionPracticesDraftBill should be based on truth, not hyperbole.
#BinTheBill
#BinTheBill because criminalising conversations is reminiscent of the Stasi, not the UK in 2026

That teachers could face such horrendous penalties is appalling. #BinTheBill!
If #ConversionPracticesDraftBill becomes law it will be in direct conflict with statutory safeguarding guidance in schools
Teachers could end up in prison, at a minimum they are likely to face lengthy disciplinary procedures for following safeguarding the guidance
#BinTheBill
Unbelievable that the Govt intend to push ahead with Silencing Practices legislation, AKA, Conversion Practices Draft bill.
Have they learnt NOTHING?

.@bphillipsonMP -“Men do not belong in women’s refuges”
Yet, if Labour’s #ConversionPracticesDraftBill becomes law “A staff member recognising that self-same biological difference at a women’s crisis centre could potentially be criminalised”

EXACTLY!
*Reform would abolish the Equality Act.
*The Greens would abolish the EHRC then gut the Equality Act.
*The Lib Dem’s would have endless committees, then quietly gut the Equality Act.
*Labour are too scared of a small number of trans activist MP’s to move.
How, precisely, is my daughter not going to end up with less rights than her grandmother had?
Many days I despair of those who govern us. The incompetency of the MPs who are pushing the conversion practices bill through is off the scale. It will not work. Even if there was any point, which there isn't.
Olivia Bailey MP = #ConversionPracticesDraftBill will not remove a parent’s right to choose how to parent It will only prevent ‘abuse’
The Draft Bill fails to define ‘abuse’
How can parents be confident their responsible, caring, parenting is not considered abuse?

In Sandie Peggy's tribunal against the RCN yesterday, her legal rep Naomi (Goddess) Cunningham explained to the witness what some of the "plus" characters are alongside LGBT; furries, men who dress as children, wear nappies, & paedophiles are included in the "plus"
The #ConversionPracticesDraftBill places no limit on what a person can identify as.
Men such as these could be at the front of your child’s class, or the seat next to them.
Parents, & children, can only affirm or, potentially, face up to 5 years in prison.

Why do councils deliberately put women and girls at risk?
Risk of assault, risk of trauma, risk of being flashed, risk of their bodies being used in pornography and deep fakes? For goodness sake, make changing rooms SINGLE SEX!
.@darlingtonbc are still in denial that the Dolphin Centre’s ‘Changing Village’ is a magnet for males who’d harm women & girls. The evidence isn’t just specific to Darlington - it’s replicated across the UK where single sex changing isn’t provided.

I’ll tell you the worst, you stupid, homophobic chancer. Those kids you, (not queer 🙄), those gay kids you pretend to give a shit about, if left alone will grow up diverse, happy and whole and their sexual function intact. This bill is about getting the ridiculous notion of gender ideology into law - the most offensive, misogynistic, homophobic ideology there is. And ‘progressive’ idiots like you are too stupid to see it. I mean this kindly - but do fuck off you absolute moron.
Utterly insane bill that will harm those it imagines it can protect the most.
#BinTheBill
The #ConversionPracticesDraftBill will drive a coach & horses through Article 8 of our human rights: a right to respect for private & family life
Why does the impact statement claim otherwise
Have @oliviabaileymp & her team actually read the Draft Bill? I think not

Warm words on equality from the Office for Equality and Opportunity so why are we not convinced? Perhaps it’s the complete absence of ANY women around the table in a meeting with ‘LGBT+’ groups. Because if you don’t have any women at the meeting you don’t have any L and therefore no inclusion of the actual people represented by the L… you know the L for Lesbian women…
We wonder what the lads discussed in their inequality meeting?
@oeogovuk
That anybody ever thought this was an idea worth enshrining in legislation is beyond my comprehension. It's a heinous idea.
The #ConversionPracticesDraftBill is based on gender ideology is fact
If it becomes law gender ideology as fact will be enshrined in criminal & family law
How are fair trials possible for those who do not believe in gender ideology - which they have a right to do?
#BinTheBill
Care?
Mutilating healthy bodies and damaging them with opposite sex hormones is harm.
The roundtable discussions at the taxpayer-funded 2024 TransCare Conference declared DIY cross-sex hormones a "suitable alternative" and critiqued doctors for prescribing doses that were "too low"
Dr Elizabeth McElrea, a speaker at the conference, inaccurately described puberty blockers as "safe" and "reversible" in a recent interview.
The 2026 TransCare Conference, starting Friday in UCC, features Ash Bainbridge, a “chestfeeding” promoter who believes that a man's chemically induced secretions are as good as (or better than) mother's milk.

The UKs draft Conversion Practices Bill is so poor it's time it did go in the bin
#BinTheBill
Where are you going on holiday this year? Portugal, Peru, prison?
If the Conversion Practices Draft Bill becomes law prison is a real possibility for anyone who dares state the truth - that no one can change sex & children are not born in the wrong body.

Go Frances, brilliant woman who #HeldTheLine
A woman one month into a new job at the FDA was handed an application to approve a sleeping pill. It looked routine. They gave it to her because she was new and it seemed like an easy one to start on.
She read the file and something was missing. No evidence at all that the drug was safe in pregnancy, and it was being sold as a remedy for morning sickness. The drug was thalidomide, and West Germany was getting through a million doses a day.
Frances Kelsey asked for more data. The company sent representatives to her office, then telephoned her at all hours, then went over her head to her supervisors. Between them they contacted her and her boss around fifty separate times. She later said most of what they called her could not be printed. Ten million tablets were already sitting in warehouses waiting for her signature.
She said no six times. And while she held the line, doctors in Germany and Australia were piecing together what was happening to babies whose mothers had taken it. Limbs that had never formed, hands and feet attached directly at the shoulder and hip, in at least 4,000 children across Europe. The company withdrew its American application in 1962.
Seventeen cases turned up in the United States, all from free samples doctors had handed out before any approval. Without her it would have been thousands.
Congress passed a new law that same year requiring companies to prove a drug is both safe and effective, and requiring informed consent from anyone in a trial. Those rules are now used worldwide. Kennedy gave her the highest civilian award in the country and she was the second woman ever to receive it. She stayed at the FDA another 45 years and died in 2015 at 101.
Every American woman handed a pill in pregnancy is downstream of one woman refusing to sign a form six times while men shouted at her.

I am Eldur, a gay man from Iceland who has spent years speaking out against the sexualisation, medicalisation and sterilisation of gender-non-conforming children, and against the erosion of gay rights, women’s rights and free expression.
I am currently facing a lawsuit in Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur (Reykjavík District Court) brought by Ugla Stefanía Kristjónudóttir Jónsdóttir — co-author of the notorious Dentons “playbook” and Reykjavík City’s “transgender issues specialist” — simply because I called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors what they are: child abuse.
The second preliminary hearing is this Thursday, 20 August. The case is moving forward. I am approximately €2,000 short of the target, and my legal fees are due at the end of August. Without this sum, my defence is at risk.
This is not just about me. It is a SLAPP-style attempt to bankrupt and silence a gay man who refuses to lie about sex, biology, and the safeguarding of children. Ugla’s lawsuit is designed to scare anyone who dares question the current orthodoxy. If it succeeds, it sets a dangerous precedent: that critics of gender ideology can be dragged through the courts and financially ruined for telling the truth.
I have no large organisation behind me. I am an ordinary Icelander relying on the goodwill of people worldwide who still believe in evidence-based safeguarding, free speech, and the right of gay men to say that men are not women and that children need protection.
£2,000 is needed now to cover the next tranche of legal costs and keep this fight alive.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference. If you believe children should not be sterilised, that women’s spaces should remain sex-based, and that gay people should not be cancelled for defending biological reality, please stand with me.

There are still men in women's prisons in England, #203Years since the Gaols Act told us they shouldn't be there. Please join us Sat 29th Aug. #203YearLater #500DaysLater #NoMenInWomensPrisons
'Scottish Trans' pushed men into women’s prisons, they thought no one would care about women prisoners.
If they could force it there, they could force it everywhere.
The experiment failed.
Men do not belong in women’s prisons.
Or any women's spaces.

Kathleen Stock was bullied, abused, bounded out of her job. I recall little sympathy. And @kathleen_stock1 told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
But it was one of the biggest scandals in UK academic history, shining a light on fraud and gullibility at one of the world's great universities. The use of hostile lawyers, racism smears and then even, extraordinarily, the police to defend a college from proper scrutiny made it into an even bigger scandal. The Guardian's news desk led the way in exposing it with a game changing investigation just a few days ago. Will you be resigning? Calling your own colleagues to account?
Also, if academic Kathleen Stock had harmed herself after being subject to rape and death threats, masked men with burning torches, and complete cold hatred from her own academic colleagues, all for stating things that are now confirmed to be legal and the policy of a Labour government, would you have said the same thing about her? I seriously doubt it.
