UK: ‘Conservative’ Govt to Make ‘Conversion Therapy’ for Transgender Individuals Illegal
Breitbart ^ | 1/16/23 | Peter Caddle

Posted on 01/18/2023 6:23:27 PM PST by marshmallow

Britain’s Conservative (Tory) Party is planning to make it illegal to provide “conversion therapy” for individuals who identify as transgender, reports suggest.

It will soon be illegal to try and change a transgender individual’s “gender identity” — described as “conversion therapy” — in England, with the country’s Conservative Party now said to be preparing a bill that will ban the practice.

The coming bill represents only the latest of the Tory government’s many pro-transgenderism manoeuvres, with the party frequently empowering gender ideology at all levels of British life, despite the dangers it often poses to biological women.

According to a report by broadcaster ITV, the bill is also set to make it illegal to try and change someone’s “gender identity”, a key tenant of transgender ideology.

This represents a major reversal on the part of the Conservatives, who had said last year that they would remove transgenderism from the ban due to concerns that, for example, parents and health professionals would find themselves accused of breaking the law if they did anything other than affirm the imagined gender identity of children who think they are trans.

Would make more sense to outlaw sex-change operations completely.

Suicide rates for these people will skyrocket because no one will want to treat their problems for fear they’ll lose their licenses.

Conversion therapy is what they are doing to our children at all public schools and libraries throughout the West.

If someone is forced and bullied into conversion therapy this is wrong. If someone desires this therapy and it is denied, it is wrong.

If the individual FREELY and without coercion WANTS TO go through such therapy, why is this the government’s business?

Methinks the term “ conservative” has a different meaning across the Atlantic.

The UK “conservatives” are radical leftists. If I was there I would vote for any party Nigel Farage was leading. If Farage doesn’t run I’d vote for Labour just to get rid of the communist Tories posing as “conservatives”.

So don’t talk them out of their insanity but you can mutilate their genitals and pretend they’re the opposite gender.

Once a youngster decides to go for the presto-chango knife, no one will dare interfere should there be regret later. I have little sympathy for anyone who elects the procedure. It will take countless stories of regret to get the attention of the press and lawmakers.

The ‘conservatives’ in the UK are also front and center in the Ukraine, whereas elected conservatives in the US are at least asking questions, with some openly opposing it.

Pretty much shows just how far down the s-hole Europe has gone.

Does Britain’s Conservative (Tory) Party know that gender dysphoria is a treatable mental disorder?

Why do they want to go there?
