The Conversion Practices Bill rests on assumption that gender identity exists and is more important than biological sex. And the intention is that police and social workers and teachers will enforce that belief within family life.
The Conversion Practices Draft Bill will create new crimes that interfere with family settings and criminalise ordinary conversations between parents & children. No family will be spared. #BinTheBill #DontCriminaliseParents #DontCriminaliseConversation

This Bill poses a major threat to gay men and lesbians. It’s no exaggeration to say it’s

The only criminals here are the @bedspolice - what the hell did you think you were doing? Is this appropriate use of police time Mr Rodenhurst? And have you taken any action against these officers for their heavy handed approach and illegal arrest?

Teaching children they may be born in the wrong body etc. has been happening in UK schools for years. This year RSE curriculum said not to teach gender identity as fact The #ConversionPracticeDraftBill will bring back lying to children, or face 5 yrs in prison #BinTheBill
Yesterday my son sat through a class where his teacher told him some people were born in the wrong body so they were the opposite sex or had no sex at all. I wasn’t informed this was part of the school curriculum (although I know it is). In the recent past parents were required to give permission for an adult, often outsourced non teaching staff, to speak to minor children about adult concepts like sexuality and gender identity. This is no longer the case. It is now up to us parents to know what our kids are being taught and by whom. Often kids are scared to tell because they know their parents, or any other reasonable adult, would be horrified and they are afraid of their parent making a scene. We need to reassure those kids that won’t happen so they don’t carry any confusion or anxiety they might be feeling about what they were being taught.

If you don't know what the Conversion Practices bill is about, please please watch this. It purports to ban "abuse" but in fact it will criminalise loving parents seeking to protect unhappy children from lifelong harm. It's extraordinarily serious.

I, a 3000 year old lump of dead skin have more rights than they want to give a parent telling their confused child that cutting their genitals off & taking drugs for life to become a bad imitation of opposite sex might be a bad idea and should wait a while

In 2027 if the #ConversionPracticesDraftBill becomes law teachers will be threatened with 5 yrs in prison if they implement statutory safeguarding guidance Children & parents will have the same fate hanging over them, This is @andyburnham ‘s Britain #LabourLegacy #BinTheBill
In 2026, teachers are being threatened with disciplinary action for wearing watermelon badges in solidarity with Palestine and against genocide. This is Andy Burnham’s Britain. Shame on him.

This is what Burnham’s Labour Govt want to make into law in England and Wales and which the SNP are just waiting to copy. Social workers and police will be required by law to investigate parents if anyone alleges they are obstructing their child’s “transgender identity” - and will allow the courts to make orders to force them to comply or lose their child to “care”. Write to your MP and ask them to oppose the Conversion Practices Bill

Or bullied A healthy teen should be growing up. These years should belong to her. That is not what happened to our daughter. I wrote about how this stops normal development here: substack.com/@ukrainianmom1/… Financially interested adults pushed us aside — and many other parents I am connected to — took over her life and started these surgeries. A psychiatrist we trusted called California CPS on us. That was the “help.” We felt it. Those Who Speak covered our case here: xitter.cf/ThoseWhoSpeakCC/status…

🚨 California sent 8 cops with no warrant and took the daughter of this Ukrainian-American mother after she said NO to testosterone and surgery. She accommodated the masculine clothes and name. She drew the line at lifelong medical damage. ❌💉 Now her girl is in a “glitter foster home.” Sneak peak 👇 The family is erased. 💔 FULL EPISODE with Alexandra Lyashchenko - this is darker than you think. youtu.be/lsyOLXSDYSI @ADM_Christine @themisRF @OurDutyUSA @ErinFriday75490 @CivilRights @HHSGov @SecKennedy @ConceptualJames @SteveHiltonx @realSonjaShaw @AlyashchenkoX

Some of the kids who seek refuge in trans identification are just quirky, offbeat types who come to focus on feeling that they do not fit in. They are often "creatives" who take naturally to the project of redesigning the way they present themselves. Please remember them too.
So where were all the transchildren before 2014? Were they subject to genocide, or perhaps forced to live in their wrong body? Or perhaps they were called tomboys, butch, gender non conforming, effeminate, gay, autistic? And then grew up to be healthy fulfilled adults?

This is what @andyburnham wants to force on England & Wales. Up to 5 years in prison for being a loving parent. The #ConversionPracticesDraftBill can criminalise parents who dare have conversations with their children about gender identity. Labour’s legacy! #BinTheBill
For more than a decade Child Welfare Agencies have taken children from parents who oppose gender ideology. The Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act will end that. @Eric_Schmitt @Miller_Congress @MarioNawfal

Quite extraordinary for the minister to say this. Not only does the extremely wide draft bill permit for parents and ordinary free speech to be prosecuted the former minister who introduced this bill said that it would and rejected a parental carve out. Breathtaking dishonesty.
Minister's letter to the pre-legislative scrutiny committee published. How? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ How do they think it protects parental rights or freedom of religion and belief? There is nothing on the face of the bill that does any such thing. committees.parliament.uk/pub…

Male nurse nominated for women’s healthcare awards. Guess who is behind the awards? The @NursingTimes - which appears to have long forgotten what a woman is. So much so, when this man was nominated for an award under his male birth name name - Jaypee - his nomination was reported using female pronouns 🤡
🚨 BREAKING: A male NHS nurse says he’s received four nominations for awards that celebrate women working in healthcare - including ‘Women’s Champion of the Year’. Jia Palis Amada said being “embraced as a woman” was already an award in itself. The awards are organised by emap - in association with Nursing Times. Helen Joyce of Sex Matters called the nominations “deeply insulting” to women. My latest for [Un]Captured. Link below 👇

This Bill would make social workers enforcers of transitioning of children despite the evidence that this is harmful - @ebswa supports the campaign to @BinTheBill_
🇬🇧 This bill "risks destabliising the family unit..." Mother of a detransitioner speaks to @HJoyceGender Expresses concern about parental imprisonment if the Conversion Practices Bill have been in place when her child identified as trans and wonders if failure to validate a child's trans identity counts as emotional abuse under the Bill. Note: The draft bill does not define emotional abuse. @SexMattersOrg
