UK Courts have just made gay conversion therapy legal again
I stand with Keira Bell
The Court of Appeal have overturned the Keira Bell ruling, effectively giving the green light for children to 'decide' to choose a medical pathway that will eventually sterilise them.
For the many autistic kids referred to GIDS...
... this is eugenics.
#IStandWithKeiraBell now and always. Regardless of today’s appeal decision she has done so much to shine a light on dreadful medical practices at @TaviAndPort and I think it will be a turning point towards better understanding and treatment for children and young people.
#IStandWithKeiraBell today, tomorrow and every day. Whatever happens today @KLBfax the momentum of what you’ve started will continue. Thank you as always for your courage and leadership.
If I may, I'd like to ask any detransitioner reading this to join me - contact your clinic and inform them that you've detransitioned (if you haven't already).
If we cannot show, with statistics, that detransition is on the rise then we will not be listened to.
Tell them.

Don't despair. One good bit of news is this from Nutmeg: "Some of the analysis is quite positive - it says doctors can no longer hide behind judges and will be sued if things go wrong". As we know, these procedures tend to go wrong from the get-go, so doctors may be reluctant to put themselves at risk.
Also, it's going to the Supreme Court. it's too important not to.
I am an autistic woman, diagnosed at the age of 36. During the 90s, gender non-conforming girls like me were labelled tomboys and left to get on with it. Now they butcher them and pump them full of hormones, it's terrifying.
