Wes Streeting is being a gutless twat about puberty blockers etc, all the worse because he enjoyed a moment of credibility when it looked like he became suddenly aware of the truth about trans. So he’s now namby pambying his way out of taking any meaningful action to protect children. How vain and stupid are most politicians!!

Former UK MP Chris Davies delivered a sharp dissent from a gender ideology motion at the Liberal Democrat party conference in Harrogate last weekend. “Conversion therapy was used to try and persuade gays and lesbians that they were really straight,” Mr Davies stated.

I read as much as I could manage of the litany of nonsense, something one would expect from a first year Arts student attending a mediocre university.

Mr Davis and his Liberal Democrat Party need to be made aware of the realities for those poor souls who ‘transition’.

I cite one of numerous European studies on the ‘wellbeing’ following Gender Transition

Titled “Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden”

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.

I say “Bring on the Conversion Therapy”

I don’t think Davies was defending transition, Vincent.

When it comes to trans we are operating in upside down world where words have opposite meanings & we have to keep reminding ourselves that Up means Down. I sometimes write “transwoman” when I mean the opposite.
