Expelled gender-critical  ex-barrister is backed

James Esses

An ex-barrister turned trainee therapist who publicly expressed his gender critical beliefs – that sex is biological and immutable – has been expelled by the Metanoia Institute three years into a five-year university degree.

James Esses was attempting to safeguard therapy and counselling for vulnerable children with gender dysphoria, lodging a public petition which has garnered more than 10,000 signatures. Speaking out also cost him his role as a Childline volunteer.

Mr Esses recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to seek justice against Metanoia Institute, exceeding his £50,000 target in days.
