Include trans people in proposed ban on medieval practice of conversion therapy.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Conversion 'therapy' is a warped belief that you can change someone's gender identity or sexual orientation. It could be electrotherapy, prayer, bullying, corrective rape, and other abhorrent behaviours. In UK, all the major counselling & psychotherapy bodies incl. NHS say it's cruel and dangerous
It's simple, there's no LGB without the T. Absolutely no reason why trans people should not be included. It's not 'woke' in 2022 we need this practice banned for all, regardless. No further consultations and delays. Futher delay means more risk of abuse.
