As Interim Chair of Ban Conversion Practices Coalition I’m concerned a parenting book promoting “desistance” appears in 58 UK libraries. This is not evidence-based care; it draws from harmful conversion practices. Young people deserve dignity and support, not shame. We need a fully inclusive ban now

58 UK public libraries have parenting books with advice to encourage children to detransition
An anti-trans book that encourages ‘desistance’, the practice of ‘reverting back to a cisgender identity’, is available to parents all across the UK

A trans woman athlete on HRT is the equivalent of putting the engine of a Prius in a truck.
Sure it still looks like a truck, but it certainly doesn't run like one, and that Prius engine would have a harder time in the truck than in an actual Prius.

Billionaires, bishops, and progressives may seem worlds apart. But when confronted with evidence of sexual abuse, they have often made the same choice: protect the institution rather than the victims.

Some may say that, after the Epstein-Mandelson scandal, GLP is kicking Wes Streeting when he is down.
But IMO this is exactly what Streeting did to trans kids, covering up the huge increase in suicides of trans kids in 2021/22 which would have 100% undermined his case for the puberty-blocker ban

Furthermore these figures are underestimates. If Alice had died at her first OD her death wouldn’t have been recorded as a trans death. How many other child suicides are deaths of trans people who’ve not yet come out to hostile family or came out and were abused, with their identity denied in death?
Thank you GLP for exposing Appleby’s report, a report the UK government repeatedly used to accuse trans people, and those that love them, of exaggerating and thereby ⬆️ the risk of suicide in trans people.
Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.
Removing health care ⬆️ risk. Abuse ⬆️ risk. Conversion practices ⬆️ risk. Gaslighting ⬆️ risk.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
