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 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

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!

"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"

She got WAFTAS, she got BAFTAS. What an absolute BALLER. I could not be more proud of @KayDLlew for telling her own story with such courage, talent and heart to create a phenomenal show that is changing lives 💫
BAFTA breakthrough honouree @KayDLlew collects the Drama Series BAFTA for In My Skin and has a special request for equal opportunities... 😂
She bloody did it. I could not be more proud. What a brilliant human @KayDLlew is 💫
"I'm a benefit class woman from Cardiff, Sophie Willan, incredible benefit class writer, who is nominated for Best Comedy, we're here because Nerys Evans kicked that door open for us."
Congratulations on your win @KayDLlew !

Seems as good a time as any to re-up the amazing/harrowing @thetimes podcast series on conversion therapy from @EmSargent

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 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

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

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?"
EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy.
A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy".
It breaks 4 years of promises.

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

Little bit late, but I wrote a thing about magic mushrooms and depression 🍄 thetimes.co.uk/article/how-m…
Absolutely true. The most beautiful, heartbreaking, hilarious, truthful work of art from the most amazing team of women. Go watch In My Skin NOW if you haven't already.
There's no show on television quite like In My Skin inews.co.uk/culture/televisi…
Wow. I can see now why our FOI request for info on who the Gov had held meetings with on the subject of conversion therapy was denied and the subsequent appeal failed vice.com/en/article/pkpym8/u…
