Your getting loathed for this and its only showing how failed and distrustful UK queer charitys are.

This doesn’t ban conversion therapy though. It legalises it.

What on earth. You of all people should know this ban isn't real.

I don't think I would every have thought that one day I would hate you. But I do, this is not the beginning it is just nothing. Its an instruction manual for doctors who want to get away with conversion therapy.

do better.

Was there too many twists and sleekit turn in this ban then? The #Spanish Ban on all #ConversionPractices bsky.app/profile/helr... The Alt Text contains the complex English translation [ 🤣 ]

What are you celebrating youve been played you idiots

This is not a ‘moment to be celebrated’; this is a moment when you have sided with this Labour government and agreed that trans people do not deserve to be protected against conversion practices. This bill is hollow. You should be ashamed of your name being associated with it.

They could've just...banned conversion therapy. Without writing out explicitly how to get around the ban. Conversion therapy should be banned full stop, not exceptions, no allowances for "medical professionals", no bs.

3 weeks later when they bother to read the draft bill: oh wait shit this just legalises conversion therapy, oops!

I hope everyone remembers your part in this wonderful success. Let no trans person ever forget your well-deserved pleasure in this.

Why are you celebrating a bill that is so full of loopholes it will be useless? Weak.

what is wrong with you? fuck you for supporting conversion therapy

Er, you haven't actually read it yet...? I mean it only takes 5 minutes and the problems are pretty obvious

It’s deeply embarrassing to see you embracing this draft so eagerly, when it’s functionally useless and could even be weaponised against legitimate gender affirming care by some readings. It’s not a ban on conversion therapy, it’s a guidebook on how to do it legally.

You pathetic scraping lickspittles.

Sorry, but either you haven't read it, or you're smoking the same stuff as Stonewall.

Sounds like yall fucked up really badly. Why is the UK such a disgusting place for queer people?

It would have been nice to have had a ban, but this isn't it. It's got bigger holes in it than the plot of a Dan Brown novel. See Spanish law for how it *ought* to have been done.

You achieved nothing and are celebrating the legalisation of conversion torture. You should be ashamed.

Why are you celebrating this? The bill is awful!

Self-id, informed consent access to timely quality trans healthcare, and a complete conversion therapy ban takes abusers out of the loop. It's the only way forward. Unless this bill puts the NHS in jail for its abusive gatekeeping and unwarranted waiting lists it's not a ban it's a permission slip.

I didn't expect Gendered Intelligence to hate trans people.

They haven't banned shit

Bullshit it does not ban conversion practices in a way that matters

No you didn't, its full of loopholes so the NHS can keep performing conversion therapy on trans kids.

All you have done is helped Labour to fuck over every trans person in the UK. Does anyone in your so called trans supportive charity want to put their name(s) to this masterpiece of treachery?

If you seriously believe this is to be celebrated given that it explicitly says conversion therapy is okay if it's done in a health care service, I can only assume that the 'Intelligence' in your name is meant ironically.

I'm so sad that you are spinning this to be a win when it is a tutorial for how to legally use conversion therapy against transgender people. My husband and I literally left Britain (we are a cis-trans couple) because of the erosion of trans rights. This legislation is a distraction.

Reminding me of #LogosScotland who have a surgical professor lead who runs the Centre for Intelligent Design and a board member with a solidly embedded #ADF background. I'm sure they say bring yer ban ahead.

Sorry, but as others have said, far from being a ban, it is a conversion therapy enabling Bill. And there is no way those responsible will allow it to be amended away from being anything other than that.

Did they at least pay you to cheer this for them or did you actually just not read past the header of the bill and decide take the anti-trans government at their word?

But it doesn’t ban conversion therapy.

Seems fitting youtu.be/7BBfH3vw7Wk?...

And the UK Government confirms they shall remain completely safe to do so.

Dont punch me in the face and tell me its a kiss

I hope the garden party was worth it

Have you actually read it? You sound like turkeys voting for Christmas

If I set up tomorrow as a 'healthcare provider' whose sole service is abusing children into being straight, this legislation would not only fail to prevent me from doing so, it would bless me with the legitimacy of legality. Celebrating this is a *wild* misstep, which will not be easy to reverse.

The orgs celebrating such a bill that blatantly protects abuse and abusers are outing themselves.

And with this post celebrating this god awful bill. You don’t represent us!

You did what? This bans nothing

Conversion* not change version 🤦🏻‍♂️

Currently really disappointed with you

Very disappointed to see you celebrating the publication of this draft that will do nothing to prevent abuse of our community and actually encourages and legalises it. Try again with your comms.

No they didn’t. Conversion therapy will still be legally practiced. This draft bill bans nothing

Seriously. Are you really saying this is a ban? And something to celebrate?? This is a licence for conversion practices against trans+ people in particular. Explain how 1.3 (a) and (b) and 1.9 (a) and (b) aren't a licence to perform conversion practices with no recourse for the victim?

As it stands, It is as weak as piss.

What th fuck is wrong with you? This bill LICENCES conversion therapy

It doesn't ban them though does it
