As stress and exhaustion pique in these final few days before the article arrives next Wednesday, pressure mounts to tell this story right. That stress and exhaustion join excitement and anxiety, in the unbelievable realisation that the release date is finally near. With so much complex context in this murky grey area of English...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/five-lessons-learned-from-the-trans-cure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">693c009038266d8ba6235a87</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 12:23:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_b5ff041ef02c49e59e03e961ca042bde~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laura's story]]></title><description><![CDATA[Even experiencing the journey of a trans child second-hand can prove disorientating. Laura joined Space Youth Project, a support service for LGBTQ+ young people in the UK, to better understand her child's transition. It helped that Laura identified as queer, and therefore understood the feeling of being out of place in society. Space Youth offers a support model through positive conversations, quite the opposite of conversion therapy. While young trans people are brought together in one room,...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/laura-s-story</link><guid isPermaLink="false">693aafe8d9082182116dff45</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2025 13:09:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_b2c8f3b63d114b54b466108fa9a8e1bd~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boiling Point]]></title><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the trickiest part of rounding off a story like this is the lack of finality around the subject. Nobody knows when, or if, the Labour government will release their draft ban bill on conversion therapy. If they do, there is no indication about whether transgender communities will be included in that bill. Much of this story has been about looking back at the stories, the timelines, of everything that has happened so far, so it felt right to conclude this investigation by looking...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/boiling-point</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6938156ccb9e548e45e302e5</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2025 13:06:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_b276bab2ee7a4f0bb0104830137839f2~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saba's Mission]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reliving the journey of conversion therapy victims, even secondhand, is tough. You hear so many upsetting anecdotes about the most heinous human rights abuses that you begin to question where the humanity lies. The LGBT community is so full of love and hope, stripped away by constant suppression.  Regardless, it felt like a story worth telling, and one that has progressed a great deal since launching the investigation in October. This afternoon I spoke to Saba Ali, a significant figure in the...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/the-challenges-of-telling-a-story-like-the-trans-cure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">692db2016de70501c17e325e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2025 15:20:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_f4c7489c74d64ffbb96a55187de30364~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["Many Trans People won't ever see the NHS"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Thursday 20th November marked Transgender Day of Remembrance, an international commemoration of all the lives lost to gender-related hate crime and abuse. In many towns and cities, the trans community held vigils to remember their loved ones, and the joy they spread in their life. I travelled up to Portsmouth to watch their vigil last week. It feels especially important in the current climate, where the community feels invalidated by the recent Supreme Court ruling.

In 1999, he arrived in Spain aged 23, after six years of living as Joel. It was the following year when he found the trans community, forming friendships and relationships within that circle, and becoming a long-serving activist. The year after that, he started taking hormones. The doctors diagnosed him with Gender Identity Disorder, which at the time was called transsexualism, and in 2002 he took out a bank loan to have...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/joel-s-story</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6926f0ca8fab50c3b6a31d34</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2025 12:22:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_d6e6d7a1db8b405b8bfa90394be8abb5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Across the pond...]]></title><description><![CDATA[Up until this week, this investigation into trans conversion therapy has admittedly been highly Eurocentric. To understand where the bill sits, a significant amount of research naturally needs to go into the global debate and those countries that have already introduced some kind of conversion therapy ban, whether partial or total. However, the UK has been at the centre of this study so far for good reason: so many in the LGBTQ+ community believe not enough has been done, either by the late...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/across-the-pond</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6917593ed87a8b8976400b04</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:46:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_a6c20a25bd5447ebbe52a84883fd79d0~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trials of trans healthcare]]></title><description><![CDATA[When I first started investigating this story, I was inspired by the hardship of friends who had recently transitioned and were seeking HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). Although we are very lucky to have the NHS, the transgender community appear to all agree that the infrastructure is simply not there to provide adequate care for everyone who may be questioning their gender. In many cases, they are not questioning their gender but certain they want to transition, but waiting lists are so...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/the-trials-of-trans-healthcare</link><guid isPermaLink="false">690dda5d96a2942ab27dfea1</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Nov 2025 12:01:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_a1d413e263f246c499a5e4f70bf98cd3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dominic Davies, CEO of PinkTherapy, explains Minority Stress Theory]]></title><description><![CDATA[It should be a given that amidst the plight of prejudice, trans people are adversely impacted by mental conditions including depression and anxiety.  That is where minority stress theory comes in, opening LGBT people up to being vulnerable enough that somebody attempting to “cure” them of their gender identity might even manage to get through to them.  This week I spoke to Dominic Davies, CEO of Pink Therapy, a directory of over 1,000 therapists and counsellors specialising in delivering...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/dominic-davies-ceo-of-pinktherapy-explains-minority-stress-theory</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6903429b751c78a338dd6575</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:52:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_c5622ba419dc4dc3b015b32efef3f947~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting the Scene...]]></title><description><![CDATA[We sit in the Flirt Cafe in Bournemouth Town Centre, an eatery which prides itself on being an LGBTQ+-friendly venue. T o make everything slightly less awkward, as interactions with strangers tend to begin, I invest in a coffee. Well, a hot chocolate, because I am a child at heart. On the other side of the table sits Julie Miller, one of the UK’s first gender authenticity consultants.

It feels like a farce, and certainly not a serious issue that is taking place behind the scenes.  The debate crops up in headlines every now and again: activists demanding that a ban should be introduced, or faith groups insisting that a ban will put a curb on their religious freedoms. Over the first few weeks of researching an investigative article, the time is full up...]]></description><link>https://lewiseyrejournalis.wixsite.com/thetranscure/post/the-importance-of-being-honest</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68f24b1bca3f83dda936b36b</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2025 13:57:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/78d84b_a755ce9109bf44ba849a7bba77f7ee6c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_500,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lewis Eyre</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
