So I now have to get used to saying “homogenderuality” and referring to myself as a “homogenderual.” That’s asking quite a lot of my 57-year-old gay brain.

Thank you for discussing the GLADD charter!

You can see this here: https://gladd.co.uk/activism-conversion-therapy-charter/

Point 5 particularly concerns me:

‘The importance of working with LGBTQ+ patients to respect and **affirm** their gender and/or sexual identity‘ (My asterisks)

a) What is gender identity? It has no proven definition or evidence base, how can clinicians possibly base anything on it?

b) Please note this language creep in which they use ‘sexual identity’ instead of ‘sexuality’.

Sex-based rights and objective reality are not things that EDI people and the self-proclaimed ‘queer medical activists’ who have written this charter believe in.
