It has been an encouraging few weeks for those concerned about radical transgender ideology. Stonewall is hastening its own demise.

Primary pupils bullied – yet more ‘unintended consequences’?
An education safeguarding group in Scotland has warned that children as young as eleven are being bullied for questioning trans ideology and using the ‘wrong’ pronouns.

Stonewall calls for trans affirmation in nursery schools
Stonewall has claimed that “children as young as 2 recognise their trans identity”. In the same tweet they continued: “LGBTQ-inclusive and affirming education is crucial for the wellbeing of all young people!” It shows the sort of thinking that lies behind the calls for a ‘conversion therapy’ ban (Stonewall is, of course, a major backer).… Continue reading Stonewall calls for trans affirmation in nursery schools
Spain eyes up law requiring affirmation of children’s gender identity
UK conversion therapy activists like to cite legislation from other jurisdictions as a model for the UK to follow.

Stormont stalled, but NI parties still argue over needless conversion therapy ban
Since Northern Ireland’s election on 5 May, the devolved Assembly at Stormont has not been fully up-and-running.

‘Offer double mastectomies aged 15’ – what a conversion therapy ban really means
Last month, infamous transgender ‘health’ organisation WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) hit the headlines after convincing the Scottish Government to claim ‘eunuch’ should be a gender – in a mistakenly released report.

Theresa May wades in on conversion therapy ban
It is rarely a good look when a former Prime Minister tells their successor how to do the job. But more often than not, it emboldens the current PM’s plans rather than cause a change of course. After all, who wants to be seen to be pushed around by the person they’ve come to replace.… Continue reading Theresa May wades in on conversion therapy ban
‘Woke laws’: preventing prayer and promoting prostitution
The Australian State of Victoria is fast becoming known as one of the most ‘progressive’ places in the world. But what do ‘woke’ laws look like in practice?

UN conversion therapy ‘expert’ says children can decide their own gender aged 3
Activists pushing for a ban like to think the UN has their back on a conversion therapy ban. That’s not entirely true. There hasn’t been a vote. It is one UN ‘Independent Expert’ who said governments should bring in a ban. Meet Victor Madrigal-Borloz, UN Independent Expert on sexual orientation and gender identity since 2017.… Continue reading UN conversion therapy ‘expert’ says children can decide their own gender aged 3
MPs look abroad for answers on banning conversion therapy
In Monday’s debate on conversion therapy, four separate MPs suggested bans in Canada, France and New Zealand make good models for the UK to follow. The similarity of each mention hints that it was a line supplied by activists. But are these laws really as uncontroversial and safe as was made out? The ban in… Continue reading MPs look abroad for answers on banning conversion therapy
