The Canadian government had introduced legislation last term to ban conversion therapy.  Unfortunately, they let the bill die on the order paper when they called the most recent election.  Well, they have just re-introduced an upgraded version of it.

When an international organization that deals with the rehabilitation of victims of torture claims that it treats Conversion Therapy victims for the same shocks and lingering mental health issues as other more commonly identified torture, you have to get a clue as to what it really is.

Agreed. The USA, the UK, and the EU need this, too.

In a surprising turn of events, the Opposition moved to "fast track" the bill.  It sounds like that is the equivalent of first, second, and third reading, because it now goes to the Senate.  No one expected that, but it's a major win!

Holy crap, did I just wake up on another planet?  In breaking news, the Canadian Senate just passed the anti-conversion-therapy bill.  That means that it has passed both houses and just needs royal assent (a mere formality) to become law.  I don't think anyone expected it to go through this fast!

Yay! It's the law in Canada now!

BREAKING NEWS: Canada has banned conversion therapy. Bill #C4 received Royal Assent today after unanimous votes in both the House of Commons & Senate. This bold action sends a resounding message of support to LGBTQ youth across the world.

Of course, thanks to Kathy for first raising the topic. I just noticed with Davie's post. Great news that this passed!

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).
