All right, bear with me.

About 3 weeks ago, I made a post about a petition to UK Parliament that got 10k signatures, and that the UK Parliament responded to in a POSITIVE way (direct link to petition). This guy, James Esses, was the person who started that petition. (Thanks, James!)

At the time Esses started the petition, he was working on his master's in psychotherapy. A few days after he posted on social media about it, the master's program expelled him. From a Daily Mail article:

...he launched an online petition in May called 'Safeguard evidence-based therapy for children struggling with gender dysphoria'. However, he was emailed by Metanoia's deputy chief executive Professor Carrie Weston, who said that two members of the public had complained about his 'social media activity'. He was assured it was nothing to worry about. The next day, however, Prof Weston emailed again, telling him he had brought 'negative attention' to Metanoia. His student contract, he says she told him, was 'terminated'. Mr Esses said: 'I'd been working towards becoming a therapist for almost four years and spent tens of thousands on the course.'

In the linked thread, Esses said he is suing Metanoia Institute, his former master's program. I think this may be an important story for us to watch in the coming months.

edit: You can see some people calling out the master's program on their most recent Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/Metanoia_Inst/status/1420487983950704643
