Theresa May has clashed with Boris Johnson over the Prime Minister’s refusal to ban transgender conversion therapy.
Mr Johnson announced a Conversion Therapy Bill in May to ban “conversion therapy practices intended to change sexual orientation”. It comes after a Tory pledge first made by Theresa May in 2018.
But key parts of her pledge were left out. The ban will not cover trans people after a Tory U-turn, and debates between LGBT+ campaigners and ‘gender critical’ activists who warn about irreversible changes for teenagers.
