Excellent piece by @EmSargent who went undercover to explore 'conversion therapy'

She accurately sets out impact of forensically trawling through her past looking for clues as to 'why she was gay' & the seeming reasonableness of her therapist

It's abuse!

Check out the brilliant work from @BanCTorg to find out how to help bring in a ban on conversion therapy in the UK 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@susiefowlerwatt @thetimes Thank you for your kind words Susie

[Jayne Ozanne OBE @JayneOzanne]

Crikey, just how long is this journey going to take?! The can has been kicked so far down the road it's become a vintage item!

Do they not understand how many LGBT+ lives they continue to ruin at this glacial pace? Other countries have acted to #banconversiontherapy much faster!

[Jayne Ozanne OBE @JayneOzanne]

"When she held the role previously she sought to fuel gender wars & speak against the need for a full ban on ‘conversion therapy’, rarely meeting with those she was tasked to protect.

I am now deeply fearful for the wellbeing of #LGBTQ+ people in Britain"

In the wake of the Govt’s shocking and chaotic u-turn around a ban on conversion therapy, listen this morning to an updated re-release of our first episode of Thinking Straight from @thetimes 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ https://t.co/oJBj738hb8

[BPS- Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity @BPSSexualities]

The news that a ban on conversion therapy may not include protection for trans people is concerning. There remains a consensus among the below organisations that conversion therapy whether in relation to sexual orientation OR gender identity is unethical and potentially harmful

[Jayne Ozanne OBE @JayneOzanne]

This is absolutely appalling behaviour by @10DowningStreet

As I told @PaulBrandITV "How on earth are we ever to trust those in power when they renege on any promise that's been made & don't seem to understand the harm that so many are people facing right now in Britain today?"

[Chris Sonnex @ChrisSonnex]

This is incredibly outrageous and saddening. There’s an incredible podcast series by @EmSargent about the disgusting and devastating effect of conversion therapy, if you don’t know why this is an absolutely disgusting u turn, I suggest a listen and then take to the streets

[Emily Sargent @EmSargent]

@ChrisSonnex 💛 Thank you for being a legend and support. It’s unbelievable and also totally believable.
