坚持人不能是猫恐面临入狱：工党“同性恋与跨性别法案”荒谬且“不可行” 新报告警告一份新报告警告称，根据工党一项“不可行”的法律，告诉自认为是猫的人他们是人类将成为非法。
Jail threat if you insist a human can't be a cat: Absurdity of Labour's 'unworkable' gay and trans Bill Telling someone who identifies as a cat that they are human will be illegal under an 'unworkable' Labour law, a new report warns.
该研究声称，旨在禁止针对跨性别者和同性恋者“转化疗法”的法案措辞“极其宽泛”，甚至会保护那些自称“猫性别”的人。
The wording of the bill intended to outlaw conversion therapy against trans and gay people is so 'extraordinarily broad', the study claims, that it would even protect those who call themselves 'catgender'.
根据英国前平权监管机构联合撰写的对工党《转化行为法案》的严厉评估，小学生若对想要变性的同学发表言论，也可能被告上法庭；而如果父母拒绝为孩子的变性手术提供资金，最高可面临五年监禁。
Primary school pupils could also be taken to court over remarks made about classmates who want to change sex, according to the damning assessment of Labour's Conversion Practices Bill co-written by Britain's former equalities watchdog, while parents face up to five years' jail if they refuse to fund their children's gender surgery.
报告称，该草案立法通过后门将有争议的“性别认同”意识形态写入法律，侵犯了公平审判权，并将允许活动人士对反对者提起私人起诉。
The report says the draft legislation breaches the right to a fair trial by introducing the contentious ideology of 'gender identity' into law by the back door, and will allow activists to bring private prosecutions against their opponents.
平等与人权委员会（EHRC）前主席法尔克纳女男爵表示：“这份草案法案似乎对英国人权法视而不见。在目前形式下，它侵犯了许多权利，包括公平审判权、家庭生活权、持有宗教或其他信仰的自由，同时限制了言论自由。
Baroness Falkner, former Chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said: 'This draft bill appears oblivious to human rights law in Britain.
‘其措施对父母权利和义务以及儿童保护的影响是不可预见的。它构思不周，除非大幅修订并经过充分的公众咨询，否则将不可行。’”智库政策交换发布的这份报告将该草案立法定性为“意识形态化、专制、不可行，完全不适合民主和多元社会”。
In current form it breaches numerous rights including the right to a fair trial, the right to a family life, the freedom to hold religious or other beliefs, while curtailing freedom of expression. 'The impact of its measures on parental rights and duties and children's safeguarding is unforeseen. It has been ill-conceived and will be unworkable unless it is considerably revised and then subjected to a full public consultation.'
报告强调指出，法案中对“跨性别认同”的描述包括那些“自认为既非男性也非女性，或不完全是男性或女性”的人。
The report, published by think-tank Policy Exchange, brands the draft legislation 'ideological, authoritarian, unworkable and wholly unsuitable for a democratic and pluralistic society'.
2022年，在伦敦举行的年度聚会上，毛绒控——即装扮成动物的人们。
It highlights the fact that the description of 'transgender identity' in the bill includes someone who 'identifies as neither male nor female or as not solely male or female'.
前平等与人权委员会（EHRC）主席法尔克纳女男爵表示：“这份草案法案似乎对英国人权法视而不见。”
Furries - people who dress up as animals - at an annual meeting in London in 2022 Baroness Falkner, former Chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said: 'This draft bill appears oblivious to human rights law in Britain' This encompasses hundreds of alternative gender identity labels according to the study and would even include 'catgender', described in an online dictionary as someone who has 'a very strong connection to cats or other felines' or who experiences 'delusions of being a cat'.
根据该研究，这涵盖了数百种替代性别认同标签，甚至包括“猫性别”，一本在线词典将其描述为“对猫或其他猫科动物有非常强烈的联系”，或“体验成为猫的妄想”的人。
'It is not an overstatement to say that, under the draft Bill, a person may face imprisonment for trying to persuade another that they are not, in fact, a cat,' the report warns.
报告警告称：“毫不夸张地说，根据草案法案，试图劝说他人他们实际上并非猫的人，可能面临监禁。”
It also points out that practices previously used to force gay people to change their sexual orientation – including electric shock therapy and 'corrective rape' – are already unlawful.
报告还指出，以前用于强迫同性恋者改变性取向的做法——包括电休克疗法和“矫正强奸”——已经属于非法。
And it says figures cited to show the current prevalence of conversion therapy – such as a survey suggesting as many as 30 per cent of transgender people have been subjected to exorcism – are 'wildly improbable'.
报告称，用于显示转化疗法当前盛行程度的数据——例如一项调查表明多达30%的跨性别者曾遭受驱魔——是“极不可能的”。
The Government claims the purpose of the bill is to 'fill gaps in the criminal law' but the new report warns it will instead criminalise parents who try to dissuade their children from transitioning.
政府声称该法案旨在“填补刑法空白”，但这份新报告警告称，它反而会将试图劝阻子女进行性别转换的父母定罪。
'On the face of it, the draft Bill makes provision for parents to be jailed for up to five years for refusing to allow their child to dictate what language may be used to refer to them, for refusing to finance a child's gender reassignment or for trying in good faith and with love and care—and without any malice or bad intention—to prevent their child from pursuing a course of action which is demonstrably likely to cause grave damage to their health.
“从表面上看，草案法案规定：父母如果拒绝允许子女决定可用何种语言称呼他们、拒绝为子女的性别重置提供资金、或出于善意、爱心和关怀——且没有任何恶意或坏意图——试图阻止子女采取一项明显极可能对其健康造成严重损害的行动，最高可面临五年监禁。”
'It places parents at the mercy of usually troubled and distressed but passionate children and adolescents who are convinced that they are being prevented from acquiring the answer to all their problems.'
“该法案将父母置于通常处于困境和痛苦中但充满激情的儿童和青少年的摆布之下，这些孩子深信父母阻止他们获得解决所有问题的答案。”报告警告称，由于没有设定最低起诉年龄，“甚至仍在读小学的儿童，若对同学发表评论或提问，即便没有恶意或有害意图，也可能因实施虐待性转化行为而面临刑事起诉。”
Because there is no minimum age for prosecution, it warns, 'even children who are still at primary school may be liable to criminal prosecution for abusive conversion practices against their schoolmates where they have made comments or asked questions without malice or harmful intent'. A Government spokesman said: 'This report is misleading and based on a number of inaccurate claims.
一位政府发言人表示：“这份报告具有误导性，建立在若干不准确的说法之上。该草案针对的是一种特定形式的虐待，并不涉及正常的教养方式。
This draft Bill targets a specific form of abuse, it does not touch regular parenting.
‘LGBT+ 群体绝不应、毫无例外地被迫遭受胁迫或虐待，以改变他们的本质。近十年来，历届政府一致认为转化行为不属于现代英国——现政府终于兑现了这一承诺。’”消息人士补充称，关于猫的说法是“胡说八道”，并坚持认为该法案并未在法律上定义任何新的性别。
'LGBT+ people should never, without exception, have to suffer coercion or abuse in an effort to change who they are. Successive governments have agreed for almost a decade that Conversion Practices have no place in modern Britain - this government is finally delivering on this promise.' Sources added that the claim about cats was 'nonsense' and insisted the bill does not define any new genders in law.
