The law was simply an attempt to ram down LGBT indoctrination, especially on young people. The politicians have criminalised the discussion and practice of alternatives for puberty blockers, chest binders, future transgender surgery, especially for children. Under the law, parents, yes parents, could be criminalised and liable to three and possibly even five years in prison, simply for affirming that their sons are boys and their daughters are girls. [00:00:08]

It can also be illegal for a counsellor, spiritual leader, pastor, youth worker, teacher or other professional to counsel a child or adult with gender dysphoria in a way that affirms biology and truth. They could be liable for up to five years imprisonment as well. And incredibly, the law says that consent is irrelevant. [00:00:46]

So, while gender and sexuality are supposedly fluid, activists want the law to stipulate that it can only go in the direction that they approve. But to criminalise parents who genuinely care for their children should certainly not be a crime warranting up to five years in jail. [00:01:27]

We've predicted and warned it would harm families and vulnerable young people. And sadly, we are being proved correct. [00:01:48]

The parents should have had complete wraparound services to support both the daughter and the whole family and the parents. You know, the parents should have had a chance. You know, the parents should have had a chance. You know, the parents should have had a chance. [00:05:50]

Are we providing this? Can young people suffering anorexia get urgent treatment? Or is the waiting list and a lack of resources making this issue even worse? [00:05:57]

A denial of biological reality. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Thank you. Just like gender confusion. And we should heal the mind, not offer liposuction and weight loss pills, and not offer puberty blockers, cross -sex hormones and mastectomies. [00:07:07]

Gender dysphoria is accompanied by other comorbid disorders, and autism is one of the frequent ones. [00:07:42]

This is the legacy of Inside Out, RSE, Rainbow Youth and groups like that, Burnett Foundation. Vanessa adopted a gender neutral name, V, and pronouns, which were used by staff and students. So, see what's happening here, the damage, confusion and ideology is perpetuated by teachers, and likely forced on other students. This is the real conversion therapy, but according to our clueless politicians, this conversion is acceptable. Biological truth isn't. [00:08:33]

And that's the message confused young people receive from LGBT activists. Reject your family if they don't buy into the confusion. Now we know that for a fact. We know that for a fact. .Having heard the testimony of many young people, it's a strategy to remove any obstacle to a young person subscribing to LGBT indoctrination, irrespective of the family's beliefs, religion, values, and other factors such as comorbidity disorders. [00:09:26]

Some clinicians quickly affirmed Vanessa's boy identity, partly because the medical and counselling profession have lost their backbone, partly because they've been bullied into silence, and partly because of the chilling effect of the discussion and then the implementation of the conversion therapy law. [00:10:03]

The psychiatrist recommended not affirming Vanessa's transgender identity. The school clashed with the parents over their refusal to buy the teen a boy's uniform. So the school undermines the family. And then the dean rang, said we were being ridiculous and gave Vanessa special permission to wear her own trousers at school, thus undermining both us and the psychiatrist who had known Vanessa for five years. [00:10:51]

See what's happening here? The state funds the separation of the child from the family, rather than helping the family heal the mind. [00:12:19]

Yes, that's what happens when you have a mental illness. You turn away from the very people who could help. [00:13:40]

The state and its know -alls have alienated the very people loving parents from the life of the vulnerable young person because the parents want to heal the mind rather than feed the ideology and its accompanying confusion and harm. But remember, politicians believe that loving parents like this should be locked up.for affirming their daughters as girls and their sons as boys. [00:15:23]

Anorexia, autism, childhood trauma, autism, gender confusion. Add to that isolation, abandonment and loneliness. Compliments of the state. [00:15:59]

So, is there the same support to detransition? Well, you probably know the answer to that question. The answer is no. In fact, supporting detransitioning could be deemed conversion therapy, thanks to the Dumbos in Parliament. [00:17:24]

The police were more concerned with ideology and wokeness than parental grief and biological truth at the time of death. [00:19:07]

This is what the conversion therapy law mandates it forces gender ideology on young people to their harm it criminalizes loving parents and health professionals wanting to protect vulnerable children from the mental illness or illnesses that may be driving that confusion. [00:20:06]

Their crushing grief is made worse by the knowledge that so many chances were missed acknowledging and reporting her deterioration would have been a simple matter had they done so our treasured daughter her herwould still be alive. [00:20:25]

This story is just one of many that we have heard, of the chilling effect and the harm that this ideology and the conversion therapy ban is doing to young people, to families and parents, and to counsellors and pastors who want the very best for people. [00:22:22]

You know, it's time that politicians admitted just how harmful transgender ideology is, and return to biology and truth. It won't be soon enough for Vanessa and her poor family, but it might save the next victim. [00:23:07]
