r who carried out the landmark review of gender services for children, said that a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban was likely to prompt concern among medical professionals that they might find themselves in a “test case”.
She said that although she supported banning conversion therapy, a practice she described as “dreadful”, she was concerned that it would not be possible to “bulletproof” the legislation.
The conversion therapy Cass describes as "dreadful" is the old-style attempt to "cure" homosexuality – something which just doesn't happen here any more outside the wilder religious fringes. Including gender identity "conversion" though is a whole different ball game, since gender identity is a construct of trans ideology picked up by troubled kids on social media. If left alone to go through puberty drug-free, these kids would almost invariably be fine. We've been through this so many times. These kids, victims of a social contagion, need therapy and time to think rather than immediate affirmation of their ridiculous fantasy that they can change sex and live happily ever after.
In a nutshell: some kids are gay, but no kids are trans.
If this is really what Labour is planning – and to be honest the whole article is confused – then this is a horribly misconceived path to go down.
