👏 We did it! Today the Government have published their long overdue draft Bill to ban conversion practices. For far too long, LGBTQ+ people have been subject to practices that seek to change or suppress who they are. Conversion practices have caused profound and lasting harm to many LGBTQ+ people.

The Ban Conversion Practices Coalition, which GI is part of, is proud to have led the campaign to ban conversion practices, working tirelessly over the past six years to get to this stage.

While this is a moment to be celebrated, this is the beginning of a process not the end. Over the coming weeks and months, we will carefully review the legislation to ensure it is robust, effective, and puts an end to conversion practices once and for all.

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.

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 [ 🤣 ]

I'll flick through it later but I suspect it's full of holes you could drive a bus through... I much prefer the Spanish version from 2023, it's banned,no if's, no buts. Translation in alt text

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.

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