I completely agree with all of this and would stress these points:
- it's not clear why @oliviabaileymp is on the committee marking her own homework
- afaik there's no explanation for the compressed timetable for the pre-legislative scrutiny
🚨 WHOSE VOICES ARE MISSING FROM THE CONVERSION PRACTICES BILL SCRUTINY?
Tomorrow, the Joint Committee examining the Draft Conversion Practices Bill will hear from five experts including from the “non binary” Dr. Igi Moon and gender medicine specialist Dr. Alison Berner. The clinical panel appears heavily weighted towards those aligned with the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy and gender-affirming approaches.
One notable exception is Dr Anna Hutchinson, a clinical psychologist with first-hand experience at GIDS, who has courageously defended exploratory therapy and highlighted the dangers of poorly defined conversion therapy bans.
But where are the other independent clinical voices?
Where are @stellaomalley3, Marcus and Susan Evans, @Doctor_Az_ , @JamesEsses and @matildagosling , author of Criminalising Conversations? Where are the professionals with experience of exploratory therapy?
The first evidence session on 29 October was more evenly balanced but tomorrow’s one appears markedly less so. The committee’s membership, including Olivia Bailey, the former minister who drafted the legislation, and Lord Isaac, former Chair of Stonewall, also raises legitimate questions about balance and independence.
A consultation is only as good as the evidence it receives.
For that reason, I urge clinicians, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and other professionals whose views have not been represented to submit written evidence. Your expertise matters. Make your voices heard before the deadline.
⚠️ The committee should also extend the deadline for written evidence.
The current deadline is 5pm on Monday 16 November; the same day as an oral evidence session, with another on 19 November. Professionals should have the opportunity to hear all the evidence before submitting their own. An extension until after the final session is entirely reasonable.
Parliament must hear the full range of professional opinion before proceeding with legislation of this significance.
Submit evidence. Call for an extension. Make your voice heard.

⏰ Only 7 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee.
The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting.

Remember to respond to the consultation about this proposed law. It could mean parents going to jail for not affirming their child’s delusion he or she was born in the wrong body. It will undermine gay rights as well as religious freedom.

🚨 A MESSAGE FROM LORD YOUNG ON THE CONVERSION PRACTICES BILL AND HOW TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE TO THE COMMITTEE
The Conversion Practices act is one of the worst pieces of legislation Parliament has ever seen.
The bill has been introduced under the guise of banning conversion practices, which are already illegal.
So what will this bill ban? It will criminalise the well intentioned, good faith conversations between parents and their children and therapists and children.
The bill will see parents and healthcare professionals go behind bars if they attempt to persuade gender confused children to either pause or not undertake irreversible, life changing and dangerous medical pathways before the age of 18.
It could not be more sinister or illiberal if they tried.
If you share our concerns about the impact that this will have on free speech and parental rights, use the FSU’s tool to create a bespoke and personalised response to the Joint Committee of MPs and peers scrutinising the bill.
Every response helps and it is the only way to stop this bill.

1/ Lord Macdonald KC is a former DPP and senior criminal silk at Matrix chambers. What he says about criminal law should is important and should command respect in Westminster.
His assessment of the draconian Conversion Bill is absolutely damning.

The government simply has to engage with this criticism of the draft Conversion Practices Bill from former DPP Lord Ken Macdonald, reported in The Telegraph

The LGB Alliance wrote to the bill committee with a list of three people prepared to give evidence about the harms they had experienced as a result of changing gender, but The Telegraph understands none of them has been summoned by the committee.

"This bill — which you may not be surprised to learn was drafted with the help of Stonewall — is the latest mutation, a protest against For Women Scotland’s victory at the Supreme Court last year, a temper tantrum by legislation."

The Conversion Practices bill in 1 minute, and what you can do about it.
Talking to your child is not abuse.
But the draft Conversion Practices Bill leaves "abuse" for a court to decide. Parents, teachers and therapists could be investigated.
Parliament wants your evidence.

I very much hope the #ConversionBill committee is genuinely listening, as @ABarrosCurtis indicates in this dilatory bit of PR. There's a lot of expertise amongst critics of the Bill & this is not our first rodeo. We won't see rights destroyed for the sake of performative politics
A joint committee made up of members of the House of Lords and House of Commons has been set up to consider the government’s Draft Conversion Practices Bill.
The committee seeks views on how the draft bill could be improved. Get involved by 16 November ⬇️ committees.parliament.uk/com…

This is a very important piece by Dr Az Hakeem, a psychiatrist with years of experience treating gender-distressed young people and detransitioners. It's essential for the #ConversionBill committee to read it and to hear evidence directly from him.

A new law that risks criminalising parents who question whether their children are trans must be scrapped, MPs, peers and experts have demanded.
‘Gender’, as opposed to sex, is an anti-scientific myth. If a child with a penis announces that he is really a girl, parents and teachers have a positive duty to educate him in the scientific truth that he is a boy.
Of course no parent should use physical or psychological abuse for any reason. But if anyone should be prosecuted it is those who abuse their duty of care by encouraging children in the anti-scientific delusion that they can choose their own sex.

Hello all, the next few months are looking quite frightening for me what with the cost of living getting worse & worse. I’d be so grateful for some orders in the run up to Christmas for all you wildlife lovers. Even small orders would be so welcome (1/3)
