Pls watch this if you're not up to date on the draft Conversion Practices Bill. Banning conversion therapy sounds great. This is not that. It's a blatant attempt to cast a chill of criminalisation over any & all discussion of gender identity. It's serious. #thisisnotadrill

Strongly recommend the latest @doubjeopardypod on the UK Government’s draft Conversion Practices Bill. @SarahvAtDSC carefully unpicks the Bill and sets out the many failings, legal uncertainty, and the real risks it creates for parents, therapists, teachers and anyone offering ordinary exploratory support. Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are, as always, impeccable hosts and contributors. Essential listening before pre-legislative scrutiny begins.

I was on @doubjeopardypod to discuss the ‘assisted dying bill’ and challenges with this profound change in our law (and the law-making process). I strongly believe we can safely legislate for choice at end of life. Thank you @KenMacdonaldKC @timowenkc podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
