Rejected petition Ban on Conversion Therapy to Protect Trans Rights

Eradicate the 'coerced' requirement and fully ban all trans conversion therapy, closing legal loopholes to safeguard transgender rights and mental health more effectively.

More details

A complete ban on conversion therapy is vital to protect the mental health and human rights of transgender people. Conversion therapy is a practice aimed at changing someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This harmful practice lacks scientific basis, promotes stigma, and leads to significant psychological distress. A comprehensive ban supports inclusivity and student well-being in university environments, reinforcing the UK’s commitment to equality and human dignity for all.
