Maybe parents who put their children through conversion therapy should be criminalised?
Also, we shouldn’t listen to the Catholic Church when it comes the child safeguarding.
I could not make sense of the headline so I tried to contextualise it with images and the only thing I could come up with is “bagpipes change your gender”.
And I was like…that doesn’t make sense. But then again….neither did that headline. It isn’t a ban against “questions”. You can question it, hate it, maybe even make it an issue to disown over. You just wouldn’t be able to abuse your children through conversion therapy.
The Catholic church is arguing that forcing cisgender boys to wear kilts is conversion therapy to make them transgender because it’s a skirt. And thus it will be illegal under the new law.
Because they want to ensure conversion therapy is something they can keep doing, and making ridiculous and specious arguments is about the only ammo the Church has ever had.
so once again catholics are shitting on scottish people for their culture AND being transphobic about it.
despite the fact that scots have worn kilts for literal hundreds of years without magically making them all trans.
Sorry to disappoint all of you but that’s not what the Catholic Church is arguing. The photo of the boy in a kilt is not connected with the headline, there’s a thin separating line that separates the two stories.
The front cover is definitely an editing disaster, but yeah, the stories are separate.
