A proposed law in the United Kingdom threatens parents, teachers, and doctors with jail time for discouraging children from undergoing irreversible transgendertreatments.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: A new law in the United Kingdom could see parents, teachers, and doctors imprisoned for trying to talk a child out of transtreatment.

DETAIL: On Thursday, Labour Member of Parliament (MP) Olivia Bailey, the Equalities Minister, published a draft bill to ban conversion therapy, which involves attempting to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Under the bill, those who try to prevent children from saying they are gay or transgender could face up to five years in prison. While the government insists that the bill will not penalize non-abusive discussions, and allegedly includes a “high threshold” for charges to be pressed, critics argue that the bill’s broad definition of abuse, which includes “controlling or coercive words or behaviour” and “use of psychological or emotional pressure,” could lead to criminal charges for having conversations with children about their gender identity. “Make sure everyone you know – especially parents – is aware of what is going on: including the proposal for five-year prison sentences for protecting your child from harmful drugs,” said Bev Jackson, co-founder of the LGB Alliance, a gender critical advocacy group.

KEY QUOTE: “This is a dangerous proposal that will harm the people it purports to protect.” – Maya Forstater, Chief Executive of Sex Matters, a gender critical advocacy group

I thought the UK had come to their senses. The Cass report had identified and exposed the unscientific ideology and how young people were being wrongly assessed as trans and rushed into transitioning with little therapy. The NHS like most Scandinavian nations were reverting back to science based therapy as the first for of treatment.

They will never learn so long as these evil activists are in positions to push their agenda. It won't work. The very same crisis that led to the Cass report will happen again and again until people wakeup to this nonsense. In the mean time this will cause more harm and more regret.

Most people here in the U.K. hadn't lost their senses to begin with; unfortunately, there is a powerful group of people pushing an ideological agenda (the ultimate goal is transhumanism), using a many-pronged attack on Christianity, the family and Western culture.

It's not only the U.K. ... the U.N./W.H.O. have produced an education syllabus, which it wants the whole world to adopt, that includes disgusting, pornographic sexual programming of very young children and the normalising of paedophilia. It's absolutely SICK!

You make a good point that this is really about transhumanism. Sometimes focusing just on trans loses sight that the worlds ideology is across all aspects of life. Even the idea that there is no truths and morality is relative.

I think when we remove God we also remove our nature and how we are designed in Gods image. In its place is a human made idea that humans are more or less bits of matter that can be manipulated and re-created into a human image. Hense reality is a social construction and nothing is fixed by natue or God.

Of course there is always a moral basis according to the worlds idea of what is good and right. While at the same time claiming there is no truth to morality. Funny how its evolved from all truths and beliefs are included to now only certain truths (which are self truths) are the new moral order.

At the end of the day if society rejects God then they will fill that void with their own version of God. Whether that be trans, woke or transhumanism. As humans we are designed to know and seek God but many are coming up with their own versions.

Coincidently most of this has happened around the same time that God was being taken out of our fundemental consitutions and declarations and now the public square. The tell is that the world hates God and Christs truth as it conflicts with their ideologies. Which shows its not just about what is good and right but in rebelling against submitting to God. Which I think is a sign that the end is near.

I have been thinking about this issue and I think I understand the fundemental reasoning behind why our institutions are pushing trans. That is trans ideology is based on a worldview belief that opposes Gods creation and nature.

The reason why trans and abortion and other ideas that are in direct conflict with God is because they reject God and therefore have to replace a Christian worldview with a worldly one.

An atheistic and material worldview is usually based on naturalism. Which is basically trying to recreate Gods creation based on the material view of nature. Nature being meaningless matter that can be re-engineered by humans. This stems from social contruction theory. That there are not facts and truths and everything is a social construction.

We seen this change around 20 years ago now when the long held fact that biology was objective reality and concepts like gender was a social construction. The reality was that biology also informed gender. But this can be refined due to culture and socialisation.

But now this has completely reversed and biology is a social contruction and the subjective social and cultural expressions are objective reality and facts. Self truths based on a subjective belief about self in the world is the new morality and this trumps everything else.

Which brings things fullcircle back to this being about a worldview belief that rejects God and His creation. Instead of God being the foundation and humans being subject to God. Its the other way around where by rejecting God this naturally leads to making humans the gods. Which then makes it all about human as like gods.

I think the greatest sin today is not trans, or feminism, humanism or other ideas that are all about individual rights. Rather its the sin of 'Pride'. All these ideas are about making humans like God. Just as satan did in the garden.

The madness seems to be spreading; there is a push to completely destroy everything that came before approximately 2000 A.D. (with the first legalization of "gay marriage"). The world is gearing up for the Apocalypse---or at the very least, a total collapse of civilization as we know it and the advent of a new dark age.
