Its actually so infuriating and patronising and degrading to be told a conversion therapy ban is coming all the while Labour is actually actively implementing conversion onto trans youth across healthcare and education

βCarnage of concern and upsetβ: Womenβs Institute groups close after transgender ban
Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining
This is a powerful story for me. Several branches of the Women's Institute are closing across the UK in protest at the new trans-exclusionary ban against trans women. It cuts through the lie by the media and GC groups about speaking on behalf of women. Solidarity.

Again, this is transcribed direct from Cass. And *why* do we need to be careful? Because Cass doesn't like the idea that a child could turn out to be trans. Because bigotry.
Of course NOT accommodating social transition if requested is EQUALLY an active intervention. A transphobic punishment.

261. The Cass Review is clear that outcomes for children and adolescents are best if they have a supportive relationship with their families and, in the vast majority of cases, we would expect schools/colleges and parents/carers to work
together to establish what is best for the child. Involving a child's parents/carers will enable schools and colleges to promote a child's wellbeing and protect them from harm.
Did they consult with a single LGBTQ+ organization?
This view that parents are saintly, that being outed to them is automatically some kind of safety measure, is just fucking wild.

256. This means that the first step when considering a child's request for support with social transition will be to consider what is in the best interests of the child and
other children, and a decision relating to social transition may not be the same as a
child's wishes.
Again, the idea that "best interests" may be served by not *allowing* someone to undergo social transition at school is restated. (And that can include the best interests of OTHER PEOPLE!!)
Conversion practices are being directly written into the guidance.

This goes further than Section 28 ever did.
Compulsory outing of children to their parents.
Referral of children to medical interventions for straying outside the norm.
Those are threats being wielded against trans kids that weren't even in the demands of Section 28.
12.02.2026 17:35 β π 144 π 48 π¬ 3 π 2
Just imagine, today, if children got referred to "clinical support" if they expressed any interest in "gay feelings" with the Government saying that approval for them to be allowed to express being homosexual at school would only be likely in very limited circumstances.
That's what this guidance is

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints β there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.
In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my familyβs experience - was very different.

It frustrates me so much that people pretend that there's *nothing* the government could do other than full throatedly endorse FWS vs ScotGov.
