There is a vast difference between ordinary civil rights movements—that have reasonable demands for equal rights, achieve gains through persuasion and compromise, and are typically fought across decades—and mass movements.
A mass movement is a ferocious beast. It demands blind faith and total allegiance to its doctrine, breeds fanaticism, thrives on hatred and intolerance, and seeks to achieve its goals not by open debate and persuasion but by force.
Read my latest essay in @genspect's REPATH series, which analyses the modern trans movement through the lens of Eric Hoffer's classic The True Believer.

Whistleblower warns that Labour's conversion therapy ban would have been used to suppress scandal at NHS gender clinic for children trib.al/q6vdb0n

🇬🇧 Detransitioner Philippa Roberts fears Labour’s proposed Conversion Practices Bill could criminalise conversations like those she has had with young people considering irreversible medical procedures.
“The bill will have such a chilling effect and be the final nail in the coffin in terms of free speech,” she warns.
Speaking to The Telegraph, she argues that parents, therapists, and detransitioners must remain free to question medical transition without fear of prosecution.

We're told that schools need to get 14-15 year-olds ready to vote at 16. Has the government thought through the problem of teachers who are political activists canvassing pupils for votes? And what about the obvious contradiction in expecting pupils to independently research who to vote for and the government's social media bans for teens? At the end, I responded to the minister telling me not to worry as 16 year olds will be allowed to get info from TRUSTED sources. Trusted by who? If this is a big expansion of democracy, why is there no impact assessment or proper engagement with criticism?

I’d rather go to prison than accept Labour’s latest trans lunacy. This week’s column👇🏻

If this bill comes into force, patents will have literally no professional to turn to for help. They will be completely on their own. It's already bad for the psychological, psychiatric and psychotherapy professions as @Doctor_Az_ explains in gis article. This bill will remove them from the landscape. All that remains will be empowered activists in the NHS, who will take the child and damage them for life whilst threatening the parents with jail if they resist. Having seen the gleeful hatred these activists throw at women and LGBs over the years, I've no doubt they will purposefully go after parents. The bill allows for private prosecutions too. It's beyond evil.

How do we get all those people who still have (he/him) or (she/her) in their emails signatures and LinkedIn profiles to realise the error of their ways and desist from looking ridiculous?

Really important article from the Indy here
For decades, Dr Az Hakeem treated people with gender dysphoria, but gave up when a teenage patient accused him of practising conversion therapy. Now, he fears misguided legislation would leave professionals like him facing years in prison

🇬🇧 After 25 years treating patients suffering from gender-related distress, psychotherapist @Doctor_Az_ says he has largely abandoned the field over fears of being accused of conversion therapy. Now he is warning that Labour’s proposed Conversion Practices Bill will only make matters worse.
“Questioning is at the very heart of psychotherapy. Yet I believe we are training a generation of doctors who believe that asking a patient to explain their feelings might somehow be forbidden.”

‘If a severely depressed person believes they're better off dead, we don't agree with them. If someone with anorexia believes they need to lose more weight, we don't encourage them to starve themselves.
‘Why should gender dysphoria be the one area where we're afraid to ask questions?’ @Doctor_Az_

Very proud to be part of the documentary “Who Decides?”
But I must say: the heart & soul of the film is a woman named Tess Hackett, who lost her daughter to transgender ideology. Hers is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have heard in this madness and a must listen. I’d go through the stupidest court case of all time 1000 times rather than go through losing a child to this evil ideology. 💔

This is a hopeful development. After years of pushing gender ideology, someone at the Independent has developed a conscience.

1/ We're understandably focused on draft conversion legislation in the UK
But can I encourage everyone here interested in that debate to watch the Australian long form documentary "who decides"
It's a dire warning of trans madness and Oz needs our help

"If clinicians decide that treating patients with gender dysphoria is simply too risky, those patients will be denied access to the very psychological support they may desperately need."
Our Patron, Dr Az Hakeem, tells the Independent why therapists are scared to treat patients with gender dysphoria, and how the Conversion Practices Bill would make this even worse.

Great article in the Independent by Dr Az Hakeem explaining the risks of the conversion practices bill.
"The government insists its legislation is intended to tackle serious abuse, not ordinary conversations or legitimate healthcare. But evidence heard by the parliamentary committee scrutinising the Bill last week only reinforced my fears that it will make any conversation, professional or pastoral, around someone's gender more difficult – and potentially criminal."
