A guest post by Peter Jenkins, a member of Thoughtful Therapists, whose scoping survey for the UK government consultation on conversion therapy can be found here:  https://thoughtfultherapists.org/scoping-survey-pdf/ The media response to the release of The WPATH Files has rightly focused on its shocking revelations of potentially unethical practice and concern over parallels with past medical negligence scandals in the US, such as the unevidenced use of lobotomy and ovariectomy on vulnerable patients (Hughes, 2024). Within the UK, exposure of the World Professional Associ ..read more

NHS England ends the use of puberty blockers

On Tuesday March 12thNHS England confirmed that puberty blockers will no longer be available as routine treatment for children experiencing gender-related distress. We welcome this confirmation of the draft policy following public consultation. We are especially pleased that NHS England has scrapped the inclusion of ‘exceptional cases’ as this would be unworkable in practice. In our response to the consultation we said: “There should be no exceptional cases outside the trial – these cases would be lost to the research and there is no justifiable reason to exclude some children from the study ..read more

WPATH unmasked: the WPATH Files
Transgender Trend
by Transgender Trend
3w ago
There can be no doubt that WPATH, the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, has had a profound and malign influence on gender healthcare worldwide. This power is wielded through their Standards of Care, guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gender dysphoria in adults and children, which WPATH claims are evidence-based and best practice. But the recently released WPATH Files reveal an organisation run by activists and ideologues who in private chat forums admit knowing of the harms caused by cross-sex hormones and surgery. These chillingly candid discussions show that W ..read more

The deadline for responses to the government consultation on the draft guidance for schools: Gender Questioning Children is Tuesday 12th March. You can read the government draft guidance here. There has been an active campaign by lobby groups to undermine the draft guidance and to encourage teachers, parents and children themselves to respond in opposition to it. Various activist groups have issued their own advice on how to respond, including Stonewall, Mermaids, Gendered Intelligence and Allsorts. It is therefore critical that the voices of teachers and parents who are concerned about the i ..read more

Ban Conversion Therapy promotes conversion therapy

The second reading of Brighton Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyles’ private members bill to ban conversion therapy is due on March 1st in the House of Commons. Russell-Moyle has robustly defended the inclusion of ‘transgender identity’ in the bill, whilst meeting groups with concerns about what this means for children and young people, particularly those who are LGB. There are legitimate worries that a legislative ban would have a chilling effect on therapists and parents by criminalising anything other than the ‘gender affirmative’ approach towards children who declare a ‘transgender identity.’ R ..read more

Dear Lloyd – re your Conversion Therapy Bill
Transgender Trend
by Transgender Trend
1M ago
A post went out today on X (formerly Twitter) from Ban Conversion Therapy, with a video of various politicians speaking in support of Lloyd Russell-Moyle’s Conversion Therapy Bill. It was the usual message – that conversion therapy is abuse – with the usual lack of any evidence that it is happening to transgender people. It urged people to write to their MPs to support the Bill’s second reading on March 1st. The tone of this message is in complete contrast to the measured and properly informed debate on conversion therapy in the Lords last week. You can watch the whole debate here on the Parl ..read more

Government draft schools guidance: gender questioning children
Transgender Trend

3M ago
The government has published its draft schools guidance for gender-questioning children which is now open for public consultation until 12 March 2024. The draft guidance is a big step forward in the protection of children from the non-scientific gender identity ideology now embedded in many schools. We are grateful to Gillian Keegan and Kemi Badenoch and their departments for all their careful work to produce guidance that prioritises the safeguarding of children over the demands of activists. The draft guidance reasserts a school’s duty to collect data on the basis of sex and the specific le ..read more
