Sex Matters sent their Head of Advocacy to Parliament to provide evidence against the Conversion Therapy bill. Here's her clearly explaining why she will still require conversion therapy to be legal

Speak to any woman and there's a fair chance she's experienced sexual harassment at work that's technically sexual assault and no one did anything, let alone called the police.
But sure employers will be arrested because their staff misgender people. Definitely likely
“They’ll put in more and more rules about what you can and can’t say at work, because the last thing they want is the police on the door.”
@MForstater joins @TalkTV to discuss what the draft Conversion Practices Bill could mean for employers.
Could it affect your workplace? Tell the committee by Monday 16th November: sex-matters.org/take-action/…
A Sex Matters and Kemi anti women, anti LGBTQ line up again.
Ministers have explicitly confirmed that ordinary parenting, expressing views and having discussions are NOT criminalised by the bill. If the only attack they have is a lie they will thankfully fail
A reminder: Sex Matters believe that the people harming women the most are Stonewall, Girlguiding, Women's Institute, Civil Service, LGBTQ groups, women's organisations, M&S
& not the right wing politicians / press, Christian Concern, far right agitators... they actively uplift
In 24 hours since this judgment and many tweets later Sex Matters, Forstater and Joyce have not tried to spin this to a win or even mentioned her. Sandie has been dropped. A useful idiot who went along with their barrister. This is not protecting women

Half of LGBTQ+ people in the UK are pessimistic about the future of equality, according to a major new report published by Stonewall.

Sex Matters desperately tried to pretend to play nice and that they care for all LGBT people by supporting a ban on conversion therapy. But then went on to give all the reasons why they do want conversion therapy including a wild last ten minutes or so.
Unlike the first panel there was a distinct lack of credible research referenced. They relied on mentions of people in their tiny anti trans circle and hearsay
Yet another court tells Sex Matters that they have not provided any evidence, simply opinion.
The Parliamentary Committee on Conversion Therapy should be embarrassed for inviting them to provide "evidence" today. Joyce will simply regurgitate the same falsehoods again
Pretty embarrassing and damning response to the evidence @MForstater (@SexMattersOrg) provided in the Sandie Peggie tribunal.
As we’ve always said: Anti-trans ideology and arguments rely heavily on anecdote, opinion and misinformation over hard evidence, as demonstrated here.

Maya Forstater of Sex Matters here, seeming quite openly full of fury at the idea of laws protecting LGBTQ children from being abused by their parents.
Sex Matters is an extremist anti-trans lobbying group that none the less has charity status.
CEO of Sex Matters demanding that abusive parents should be free to abuse LGBTQ children. It is laughable that @ChtyCommission leaves them to insist that they are a human rights charity. Well it isn't laughable as this is so serious
Remember Forstater has publicly told us she is against a ban. This is her starting point. No "polite" words should hide this

More lies.
The Bill does not criminalise parents for simply having difficult conversations with their children. It targets abusive conversion practices meeting a high threshold of harm.
Sex Matters is advocating for child abuse.
We agree with @bphillipsonMP, minister for women and equalities, that parents shouldn’t be prosecuted for having difficult conversations with their children.
But there is nothing on the face of the Conversion Practices Bill that protects them. We wrote to ask her to put that right.
