Would current therapists pushing LGB conversion not be considered (mental) health care providers?

But the healthcare exception doesn't just cover the NHS? It seems to cover all sorts of "healthcare", even unlicensed, which could definitely be used to convert LGB people as well

I thought the "para-" suffix was more meaning "to shield" from latin "paràre" similar to the english for "parry"

No, I think it's a fair reflection. The political attacks are currently very concentrated on trans people whereas cis LGB people are relatively well-off in the UK, legislatively speaking

Green is the highest polling non-reform party, which we have to rally behind. Why should people split the vote by voting Labour? Surely, people refusing to vote green are the US third party voters in this scenario

Populism? Oh you mean like winning supermajority in a landslide election with promisises of change and then use all 411 seats to do nothing (the Labour Home Secretary would probably say "fuck all") for ordinary people while actively selling our NHS health data to Palantir?

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

The new trans bill in India takes away the right to self identify gender identity, delegitimises trans people and strips them of their fundamental rights. It medicalises identity and criminalises community care. It is completely inhumane and unconstitutional.

a bit about the recent anti-trans bill passed in both the houses of Indian parliament: this bill is an amendment to the 2019 Transgender People (Protection of Rights) Act of 2019 which - though not free of flaws - was a great leap for trans rights in India, and was a result of years of activism.

Wading into the Harry Potter discourse to remind you that India just passed a disastrous bill that removes the right to self identification of gender identity, despite vehement opposition from the trans community.

We are facing a workers' rights crisis for our community, and we need your help. Outdated workplace regulations, last updated in the early 90s, are now being interpreted as requiring the exclusion and outing of trans+ people in the workplace. actionnetwork.org/letters/fix-...
This is a workers' rights crisis.
Outdated workplace regulations are becoming tools of exclusion.
Trans+ people are being sent home from their jobs, unsure when, or how, they can return.

There was a real reason sex-testing was dropped from the olympics in the first place. And it wasn't due to transgender people... Now we are back in the dark ages with invasive genetic tests that risk outing cis women as being unknowingly intersex

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
Although this IOC ban is a ban in professional sports, I am worried about the effect it will have on trans inclusion within governing sports bodies. Increasingly, bans trans sports bans are having effects all the way down to grassroot sports. For excluded trans people, this is heartbreaking

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
The reality is, sports as a whole is mainly about getting exercise while binding with other people. The friendships I've made through football have been life-changing. Only a very select few will ever make it pro, but that doesn't stop millions of people enjoying playing sports

If trans women and girls were playing football at the same rate as cisgender women and girls, we would have had upwards of 5000 registered trans players with the FA in the UK. Instead we had ~20. And it's similar for other sports. One starts to question what the point of recreational sport even is

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
I was part of a group of ~20 football players that got banned from playing recreational women's football by the FA last year. Despite already having played for over a year, and despite the FA having assessed that I posed no threat, and had no competitive advantage

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
I *am* worried about trans athletes too, but less on the professional level, and more on the grassroot/recreational level. Recreational sports participation for transgender women is extremely low - this is true for trans women even before they transition

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
I am not even all that worried about professional trans athletes with regards to the SRY-gene-based ban from the Olympics. I worry about all the many intersex/DSD women who are caught up in this. Historically, invasive sex tests based on genetics have led to suicides

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
With today's IOC decision to test based on presence of SRY genes in female athletes, it's worth revisiting this article about the researcher who discovered the SRY gene. Despite claiming otherwise, this ban in unscientific and intrusive

The focus, as usual, will be on trans athletes here to get buy in from everyone but the real impact will be on all female athletes and will disproportionately fall on intersex athletes. It's going to be a horror show. I expect legal challenges will eventually overturn this but it will take decades.

Also, we are back to regular #transphobiathursdays scheduling now it seems. Last year, it was practically a new ban every thursday (including the FA ban on trans-inclussion in women's football. Note also the timing right before Trans Day of Visibility

I'm not terribly surprised, yet dumbfounded by this decision to do a universal IOC ban on trans women in women's sports, especially given olympic sports as of late has included sports such as breakdancing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fair enough When all is said and done, I still do appreciate the fact that LibDems supports transgender people more than the likes of Labour or the Tories/Reform
000
Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
It feels like, to LibDems, transphobia is both vitriolic enough that the party is scared to openly support transgender people (including support after the SC ruling), yet not a serious enough issue that the party wants to help change the current deathspiral this country has taken on trans rights
150
Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
And I do get the instinct to protect members from immediate harm, I really do. But then the perceived lack of longterm plans from LibDems to help transgender people be less stigmatised feel all the more hollow for that reason.

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
Or at least, it's not a solution that helps trans people ー People who can't always just hide a banner to escape such harrassment.

Georgie Sorensen @georgiehs.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
I get that it must be terrible to be the target of online anti-trans harrassment campaigns. It is a horrible thing to go through. But hiding visible signs of allyship online out of fear for transphobic vitriol isn't the solution.

I mean, yes, they have lost a substantial number of votes, but they are still have the largest number of MPs by far. About twice that of any other party. And all of the parties of the incumbent SVM government lost votes, which one would expect from being an incumbent party in times like these

Absolute cowardice from Lib Dems, refusing to have banners up supporting transgender people in the event that anti-trans people will harass party members on social media. First of all, why is nothing done to curb this toxic online envious created by these transphobes?
