The LGB Alliance of the UK held its “A Question of Courage” conference on Friday in London. The group is famously critical of trans agendas, particularly those targeting children.
The event featured doctors, professors, journalists, authors, and testimony from detransitioners. The Post Millennial senior editor Andy Ngo reported that around 450 people attended the conference.
Dr. Az Hakeem, a specialist psychotherapist for gender dysphoria, gave powerful accounts of difficulties his patients have had post-transition during a session entitled “Stop the real conversion therapy.” He also shared his personal thoughts on the mutilation of children who undergo the transitioning process.
He said that “even with my adults, 26 percent of my patients were regretful of [transitioning] and they all said that they were mis-sold something,” adding that “chopping bits off of children should be illegal.”
“We watch films about Alan Turing in the war and say how bad it is castrating the gays in the war but then do it to our children—this is exactly the same drug,” he stated.
Protesters notoriously known as “Trantifa” showed up outside the venue with signs reading “LGB ALLIANCE IS A HATE GROUP” and “NO TERFS NO FASCISTS” and screaming at the attendees in the building.
The Alliance has run into a fair share of troubles with pro-trans groups. In 2022, a group called “Mermaids,” a UK charity that describes itself as “helping gender-diverse kids, young people and their families,” challenged the decision to award the LGB Alliance charity status in court, arguing that they should not even exist.
In response, a month later, the LGB Alliance accused Mermaids of homophobia.
