Petition

Petition

There is a petition calling on UK sex shops and lingerie suppliers to stop selling school uniform or school uniform inspired costumes.

Good News!

We have written previously about the petition to safeguard evidence based therapy for children. It has reached 10’000 signatures meaning there will be a government response. Please continue to share and sign if you haven’t already done so.

We did it! 10,000 signatures after just 4 weeks! This will now go before the government to issue a formal response. Let’s hope that our politicians get the message loud and clear. Therapy for vulnerable children with gender dysphoria must be safeguarded.

petition.parliament.ukPetition: Safeguard evidence-based therapy for children struggling with gender dysphoriaWe are deeply concerned by the possibility of normal therapeutic practices being banned alongside conversion therapy. We ask the government not to criminalise essential, explorative therapy. Such well-meaning legislation might ironically deny vulnerable children the help they need.

FairPlayForWomen @fairplaywomen

Inaccurate and misleading headline by @Independent. The article text makes clear this individual is a male person who identifies as a women. Most readers understand the word 'woman' to mean a female person. Independent is not signed up to IPSO so no breach complaint is possible
