'Conversion' practices in the UK need to stop. Completely.
LGBTQIA+ people in the UK have been promised this for years. Yet, we are still waiting for the draft bill to appear.
Our fundamental rights as humans are being violated by this heinous and evil practice.
The UK government itself, in 2018 in its National LGBT Survey states that this so-called therapy can include pseudo-psychological treatments to spiritual 'counselling' (quote marks my addition), and in extreme cases "... they may also include surgical and hormonal interventions, or so-called ‘corrective’ rape." (direct quote)
7% of LGBT people have been offered or undergone this practice.
10% of asexual people have been offered or undergone this practice.
13% of trans people have been offered or undergone this practice.
This is abhorrent.
I fully stand with and support Ban Conversion Practices, led by Saba Ali FRSA and others, and I will do anything I can to help.
Please share and follow the Ban Conversion Practices page, and look at their website for more information.
Enough is enough.
