‘Conversion therapy’ is unethical and damaging, preys on the vulnerable and leads to long lasting harm.
This abhorrent practice must be banned for all LGBT+ people. A ban that excludes trans people is not a ban at all

Reflecting on a rollercoaster day which started with the energy and inspiration of the

report on ending HIV transmission and finishes with real concern about how we ensure access to quality treatment and care for trans and gender diverse children and young people
