Labour government reveals talks with SNP ministers over 'trans-inclusive' conversion therapy ban

Labour Equalities Minister, Nia Griffith, told MPs that “conversion practices have no place in today's society”, adding that the UK government was “committed to bringing forward trans-inclusive legislation to ban these outdated and abusive acts”.

Scottish Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine warned her party has “been concerned” about the lack of draft legislation, but stressed she was “relieved to hear” the UK government remains committed to a full ban on conversion therapy.

She added: “Given the amount of fear and anxiety that there is among the trans community in this country, can she reassure the House that when the Bill comes forward, it will be UK-wide to overcome the Scottish Government’s withdrawal of their proposals?”

Dame Nia said that the UK government is “in talks with officials in the Scottish Parliament” for the legislation to apply across the UK.

She added: “I also assure her that we will be bringing this legislation forward very soon, and that there will be a proper opportunity for that pre-legislative scrutiny, which I know she will want to take part in.

No mention of how helping young people "trans" can be and sometimes is conversion therapy if someone who is actually gay or lesbian is funneled into a trans pathway rather than having their same sex attraction affirmed.

How is helping someone to accept that they are the sex they were born 'converting' anything?

It's the GRA all over again, how many Labour MP's will vote for it even though they know it's a wrong law, but the Whip tells them they have to so they do and years later they'll be admitting they shouldn't have supported it, they know that now blah blah blah. 🤬

Its the GRA except we are all watching.

And acutely aware of what they're trying to do.

The political climate is very, very different now.

All eyes on the definitions. Pens ready.

Bring it.

Yes this is definitely not going to slip in through the back door. We see you.

Will they ever bring up some examples of cases that have happened even in the last 10 years instead of wheeling out some middle aged bloke to tell his story of things that happened 40/50 years ago and are already illegal?
