Members of Liverpool's LGBTQ+ community have spoken out about the government's decision to go ahead with the ban on conversion therapy but not include the trans community.
It was announced last week, on Trans Day of Visibility, that the government would proceed with banning the practice which, according to NHS England, attempts to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. However, the government faced a backlash after they decided the ban would not include the trans community.
For a brief period of time, it was believed the ban on conversion therapy would be dropped altogether after a leaked document suggested the government planned to break their promise again. This prompted a backlash from Conservative MPs and ministers and the Prime Minister reconsidered the decision.
