Theresa May calls for ban on transgender conversion practices
Theresa May has urged Boris Johnson to ban transgender conversion practices as a part of proposed legislation.
Writing in the i paper on the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first Pride, the former Conservative prime minister said: “Few people, reading of accounts from trans people, would disagree that they still face indignities and prejudice, when they deserve understanding and respect.
“We need to strive for greater understanding on both sides of the debate. Just because an issue is controversial, that doesn’t mean we can avoid addressing it.
“To that end, the government must keep to its commitment to consider the issue of transgender conversion therapy.
“If it is not to be in the upcoming bill, then the matter must not be allowed to slide.”
Her comments follow an initial move in late March by the prime minister to drop plans to ban any conversion practices. However, within hours of a backlash, the government performed a U-turn.
That’s all for this week folks!
