On October 29th 2021 the UK Government opened its consultation on Conversion Therapy.

The consultation has been structured as a ‘railroad’ questionnaire (presumably, with the intent of limiting submissions to ones which comply with pre-determined worldview of those running the consultation).

The questionnaire itself was reportedly shaped by a study carried out by a team (unsurprisingly, captured by gender ideology) at Coventry University.

Sex Matters has carried out a ‘Rapid Review’ of the Coventry University research. https://sex-matters.org/posts/publications/rapid-review-of-coventry-university-research-on-conversion-therapy/

Transgender Trend has resources on its website to help people understand the issues and to provide guidance in making a submission.

We are also working on crowdsourcing Gender Critical submissions to this consultation. This effort is being aided by weekly Zoom meetings to share information and strategies.
