Reposted by gugalanna daddy issuesJess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 26/06/2026It's not about attempting to change which label someone uses, it's about trying to change which sex/sexes people are/are not attracted to. So even if a trans lesbian was analysed as a straight man they would still be protected if you tried to make them attracted to men and/or not to women. 1413
Reposted by gugalanna daddy issuesJess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 26/06/2026The important thing to understand is it doesn't matter whether you are defined as straight/a lesbian/bisexual/etc. – any abusive practice which intends to change your belief about which sex you are attracted to is covered. Including one sex, both sexes, or neither sex. 2575
Reposted by gugalanna daddy issuesJess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 26/06/2026This thread is incorrect because the Bill covers belief as to one's sexual orientation, not just one's "legal" sexual orientation per the EA. So any abusive practice attempted to change one's belief as to their sexuality is covered – ie convincing a trans woman they are not attracted to women. 27518
