As #antitrans hate machine ramps up & misuses #CassReview even more, let's be honest: I) Their focus is primarily #transwomen who don't 'pass' 2) They've not considered #transmen will now be on female wards 3) They've no thought for impact on women who 'appear too masculine'

Two weeks after we first reported it, the Times has also heard that the ban on conversion therapy is being dropped. None of my sources in or outside govt now expect the promise to be delivered, which will be seen by many LGBT people as a real betrayal.

The long-promised ban on conversion therapy won’t be in the King’s Speech. I understand the government thinks the shape of a ban isn’t ready yet. It’s been five years since the Conservatives first promised to ban it. Very unlikely it’ll now be banned before next election.

Whilst I'll miss many friends on #Synod , I won't miss the vile abusive comments - many from supposed Christians It's extraordinary they think it's OK to post this sort of stuff...

Proof (if ever we need it) that @RishiSunak was never to be trusted on protecting #LGBT people & delivering on a 6 year old promise to #banconversiontherapy This rollback on rights is exactly what I predicted when I resigned from Govt #LGBT Advisory Panel

It is impossible to prove coercion. Also, it puts the onus of doing so back on the victim not the perpetrator. This is a government that as we suspected wants to protect certain perpetrators & won't listen to victims' lived experience No other country has sought to do this!

Reliable source confirms Times scoop this morning - the ban on conversion therapy is back on. It includes both sexuality and gender. But at present it only covers “coercive” practices where people are forced, with safeguards for parents & clinicians.

Don't you just love @sanditoksvig ...so glad she has spoken out what so many people know to be true: “The lives of LGBTQ+ people are at stake here,” Toksvig wrote. “Jesus doesn’t mention sexuality at all. It clearly wasn’t a big deal for him.” @guardian

This is absolutely appalling behaviour by @10DowningStreet As I told @PaulBrandITV "How on earth are we ever to trust those in power when they renege on any promise that's been made & don't seem to understand the harm that so many are people facing right now in Britain today?"

EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy. A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy". It breaks 4 years of promises.

I'm glad @PinkNews has picked up on this story as most of the General Public will be rightly horrified by it. Yet another reason to see @churchofengland as homophobic & hypocritical when it preaches 'love for all'. Silence of anyone in purple deafening..

I can't believe this... The vast majority of the public will read this story & conclude, rightly, that the @ChurchofEngland is a hypocritical, unloving & cruel institution, which most don't want anything to do with! No wonder we are haemorrhaging people!

Extremely concerned that the government is allowing 'informed consent' for adults - it's a major loophole & will leave thousands at risk. Sadly, the desires of perpetrators have been priortised over the needs of survivors in relation to religious practices

This was my final #Synod speech To date no church leader has ever apologised for the trauma that I went through, which I summoned up courage to share here It was this indifference that confirmed it was time to leave....few care about the pain they know church teaching inflicts!

"Do we believe in love? Do we see marriage as a good thing? Then if we do, why don't we make it free & available for all?" Does @BpBurnley not see the total irony of what he is saying regarding those of us who yearn for #equalmarriage ?! @campaign_cofe

Well that was manic! 1 hour & virtually all gifts gone - now there are lots of African bishops with Pride facemasks, with Pride pens & taking rainbow gifts home to their children! Lots of great conversations too!

I'm thrilled to say I have been appointed to the @WelshGovernment 's Working Party on #Conversiontherapy . I am impressed that they are determined to ensure these practices are stamped out in #Wales and that survivors are given the support they need. 1/2

25+ years ago I braved coming into this bar, the @QueensHeadW1D , for a #lesbians only night. I stood in the car petrified & then went home. Always look out for those making their first brave steps...for me it would take 2 breakdowns before I finally came out..

For those who want to see evidence of the type of pile-ons & abuse that principled MPs like @KirstySNP have to endure, please just read the comments on this thread. Their tone says it all - those MPs who represent them should hang their heads in shame

@KirstySNP spoke out about the demonising of #trans community & use of exclusionary phrase "ordinary people" She rightly points out that there hasn't been an agreed definition of biological sex & also points out they're in a room of cis-gendered people debating trans people

Excellent piece by @PinkNews on my departure from #Synod , including the upsetting incident at Lambeth Palace with Justin. I said I was 'saddened and relieved' at leaving, adding: 'I pray that they will one day see the damage and trauma they have caused.'

I know that too many people in the LGBTQI+ community are worried and afraid about their future and their safety. I want to send a message to the entire community – especially to transgender children. You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong.

There was NO govt self-ID policy - what they wanted was to research public views on demedicalisation & how to reduce bureaucracy so as to help FRAME future policy @PennyMordaunt is speaking truth - there was no policy - @trussliz & @KemiBadenoch are spinning facts @Channel4News

I think it's about time some folk had a proper biology lesson. 'The popular belief that your sex arises only from your chromosomal makeup is wrong. The truth is, your biological sex isn’t carved in stone, but a living system with the potential for change'

I fear the arc of the moral universe has paused in time. I'm weeping for my #Ugandan #LGBT + siblings & am so angry with those "Christians" who pushed for this in Uganda. Why haven't #GAFCON condemned the Church of Uganda for backing the death penalty?!

Just under 20 years ago I stood in this chamber at this same podium & read a suicide note (my own) to @synod about the anguish I was in between my faith & my sexuality. Tonight I was able to apologise to the #LGBT + community for the harm religion causes so many! A long journey!

Shocked & saddened to learn of the sudden death of my dear friend @alantlwilson Bishop Alan was an absolute giant for all committed to an inclusive church. His prophetic witness cost him dearly, yet he remained undeterred RIP +Alan, thank you for all you gave, inspired & led ✝️
