The British Veterinary LGBT+ Society are pleased to hear that the new Labour government has committed to introducing legislation to ban conversion therapy and we hope that this means this practice will finally be eradicated from our country. For more information about what we can do to support the draft bill when it is published, please click here.
We also hope the new Labour government stands by its manifesto promise to “remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance”. We believe this should be inclusive of young trans people. We hope the government, and new health secretary acts on appropriate evidence, which would also include consideration of several critiques of the Cass review by healthcare professionals. For more information and a collation of response to the review and its recommendations, please click here.
