Reclaiming the Hippocratic Oath: The Case for Criminalisation of ‘Sex Reassignment Surgery’.
My full speech from this year’s Heterodox Conference.
While I and others wait to hear whether we will be called to give evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill Select Committee, I’ve seen that tomorrow they will hear from Dr Igi Moon.
Dr Moon is a “non binary” psychologist who compared the belief in two sexes to “colonialism”.
Paging @andyburnham
“As both a therapist who believes in the Hippocratic Oath and a proud father to my now five-month-old son, I would rather go to prison than be forced to affirm a dangerous delusion.
Me for the Telegraph on the Conversion Practices Bill.”

“I was cancelled for criticising legislation that did not exist. Now, that very legislation is on course to become law. This time around, what I fear is not cancellation, but criminalisation.”
My article for the Telegraph on the Conversion Practices Bill.

It has always been a bucket-list item to debate against a steelmanning Peter Boghossian.
Watch our full conversation in the link below the video!
Pro-trans activists will not converse with me, so I attempted to make their arguments better than they could and interrogated therapist, conservative councillor, and founder of Just Therapy @JamesEsses.
In Collaboration with @HeterodoxCentre
Andy Burnham must ditch the Conversion Practices Bill.
It is bad law, rooted in ideology, likely to inflame the gender wars, undermine free speech, and create chaos for parents and professionals alike.
Burnham should show political courage and bin it.

🚨Breaking🚨
Last night, I put forward a motion at Barnet Council to introduce layers of safeguarding and a presumption against children in care being referred to the puberty blockers trial.
Labour and Green councillors voted unanimously against it.
Shameful.
My motion 👇
Very pleased to have signed this letter standing up for British Jews in the face of the hatred being spewed by the Green Party.
Over 500 Conservative councillors have signed our open letter calling on Green councillors to stand up for British Jewish residents.
The Green Party has declared “Zionism to be racism”. Zack Polanski didn’t stay to vote against it. And yesterday, he told Laura Kuenssberg he wouldn’t overturn it: “I don’t think this is actually controversial.”
We’re asking Green councillors to disavow the motion, challenge antisemitism and reassure Jewish residents they’ll be represented without prejudice.
Silence is a choice.
“The madness is that we are about to live in a world, under this Labour government, in which a 15-year-old will not be legally allowed to purchase a can of Red Bull, but an 11-year-old will be able to consent to being placed on a pathway to infertility.”

🚨226 children, some as young as 11 years old, are about to be given £500 worth of shopping vouchers by the UK Government in order to undertake a puberty blockers trial, placing them on a pathway to infertility.
This is the medical scandal of our time.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the Battle of Ideas next weekend on this panel looking at the ethics (or lack thereof) of the puberty blockers trial.
You can guess what stance I’m taking…

🚨Conversion Practices Bill: Scrutiny Starts Tomorrow🚨
This Bill is an utter nightmare. It criminalises talking. It will rob children of the opportunity to become comfortable in their own bodies.
It includes no exemption for parents. Parents who try to dissuade their children from ‘transitioning’ could be criminalised and put in prison for 5 years.
It enshrines the notion of ‘transgender identity’ in the law and makes the offence ridiculously broad: “conduct causing someone to believe that they have or do not have a transgender identity”.
It further enshrines the notion of being ‘non-binary’ in the law.
The protection for therapists and other medical professionals is severely lacking, with a test of ‘reasonableness’ created. There is also a low threshold for what constitutes ‘abuse’.
Make no mistake about it, this Bill poses a significant threat to freedom of speech, religious freedoms and to the safeguarding of vulnerable children.
It must not be allowed to become law. Please petition your MP.
Many are celebrating the fact that Polanski lost the by-election.
But it says a lot about the direction our capital city is heading that 33% of voters enthusiastically placed an X in his box, in spite of or because of some of the troubling things the Green Party stands for.
🚨Labour’s ‘Early Release Scheme’ poses a serious threat to the public
As a Councillor in Barnet, I have received an extremely troubling letter from our Met Commander, revealing that a high-risk thief and sex offender was caught re-offending the very next day after his early release from prison.
The Commander believes the the scheme poses “significant risks to victims”
We are less safe under Labour.
I have spent years working alongside Kemi on safeguarding children and protecting women from nefarious gender ideology.
Anyone who knows me knows that upholding biological reality is my thing.
She is the only leader I trust to bring an end to gender ideology once and for all.
As a woman, I find this offensive and unforgivable. My rights are not something you champion when it’s politically fashionable and abandon when it’s politically convenient. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. The Conservatives don’t believe in anything but getting back into power. Why on earth would anyone trust them again.

The quoted 20 Jun, 2022 Badenoch's tweet announced an online application service for existing GRC, not self-ID.

Before that tweet, on 2 March 2022, Badenoch warned MPs against self-ID rules that could be exploited by male predators and said women must be protected (Q77).

I am a conservative. I believe in controlled borders, tough justice, enterprise and free speech.
I would not be sitting as a Conservative Councillor, nor putting myself forward to stand as a Conservative MP, if I did not believe that conservatism was at the heart of the party.
