Interesting piece from ITV on government legislation on gay and trans conversion therapy. Seems the government is moving towards legislation and will include gender identity (if they can define it), it remains to be seen what form this will take.

Metro's take is triumphant but I think we should watch this space.

Surely the Cass Report needs to be taken into account here? The parts about gender being often fluid under 25? The parts about social transitioning not being without consequence?

This feels never ending.

As some gay focused organisations pointed out early on, where is the evidence that this is happening now? Because a whole lot of the 'evidence' being used as a lever is the historical evidence against LGB. Historical.

Which is now all covered under other legal protections anyway.

The whole religious/LGB aspect is merely a large trojan squirrel, containing inside a power grab from the TQ+ political lobby to criminalise anything but abject co operation with a political agenda.

Actually, it IS happening now. That is what I am emphasising. The TRA lobby is practising conversion therapy on LGB youth to render them culturally “straight”. This bill will further enable this.

Absolutely true Penny .

You are absolutely right.

Likewise the whole 'learn to cope' (with straight sex that you won't enjoy, but you have a social duty to provide sex to special men) thing to lesbians. With exclusion from Pride for non compliance and insistence on being homosexual.

Can anyone find the actual poll - I couldn't earlier and there is no link in the Guardian article.
