Thanks for the shared article - interesting read. Public consultation ends shortly - happily have expressed my concerns and noted much of what the article covers.

Good podcast about this subject can be found on "A Wider Lens" - episode 29

Transgender Trend have done a useful guide for responding. www.transgendertrend.com/guide-government-conversion-therapy-consultation/

Janice writes such sense doesn't she. Her columns have been so important in this battle.

She’s so good. Thank you for sharing.

Good, clear piece. I yet again envy Turner's ability to write with such clarity and impact.

There’s a similarly forthright story on this subject in the Economist this week, both as a leader and as the first story in the Britain section. Helen Joyce should feel well supported there.

Sex Matters has a pre written letter you can add your own comments to, and they send it to your MP.

Good article. Prompted me to actually fill out the consultation (have already written to MP). Consultation response took about 20 minutes and was maddening because of having to define my terms the whole way through since it totally conflates gender identity with sexuality, but it’s not as hard as I thought it would be.

Thanks for the share.

#presspause was briefly trending on Twitter last night, there's a week to go on the consultation.

Yesterday's a wider lens pod cast (52) was also extremely pertinent too.

I love a Saturday morning when there is a new Janice Turner piece to read
