I am in awe of all of you. What you’ve done matters far beyond the UK. Thank you, Sex Matters, for holding the line with courage and clarity under extraordinary pressure. You remind the rest of us that reality does not vanish because it is inconvenient. I’m holding the line in a deeply blue state, inspired daily by your example. Never wheesht.
I have contacted the European MPs using the template you have linked.
One MP has replied ( I won’t “name and shame” them ) .
I have copied a relevant section of their reply. I think this demonstrates the deliberate confusion created around this issue. I too am against efforts to change or suppress an individual’s sexual orientation but this is not the “conversation therapy” that is being debated.
I am scunnered that Stonewall are still seen as the best source of information on lesbian, gay and bisexual rights. I think they left these groups behind long ago when they focused all their considerable lobbying efforts on trans!

I am clear, however, in my opposition to conversion therapy as defined by organisations such as Stonewall, which describe it as practices that seek to change or suppress an individual’s sexual orientation. Such practices are widely recognised as harmful and without evidence.
It’s infuriating how much the bloody “lived experience” of trans is trumpeted in everyone’s face, but the “lived experiences” of women, detransitioners, parents, teachers, health staff and government employees counts for absolutely nothing. I live in Sydney- the public is generally completely unaware that ‘trans’ is just nonsense made up by grifting career activists riding a very lucrative public funded gravy train. Australia is literally years behind the transnost of the UK (yes of course it’s also Gen X that’s leading the pushback here too lol- who remembers ‘glasnost’ and ‘perestroika’?)
