Long waits for gender affirming care are a failure of healthcare and policy. No one should have to wait years to access the healthcare they need. Waiting Well has been created to support trans and non-binary adults who are waiting for care at Exeter/The Laurels Gender Identity Clinic.
While this is a moment to be celebrated, this is the beginning of a process not the end. Over the coming weeks and months, we will carefully review the legislation to ensure it is robust, effective, and puts an end to conversion practices once and for all.
The Ban Conversion Practices Coalition, which GI is part of, is proud to have led the campaign to ban conversion practices, working tirelessly over the past six years to get to this stage.
👏 We did it! Today the Government have published their long overdue draft Bill to ban conversion practices. For far too long, LGBTQ+ people have been subject to practices that seek to change or suppress who they are. Conversion practices have caused profound and lasting harm to many LGBTQ+ people.

The Gov. has repeatedly promised to publish a draft Bill to ban harmful conversion practices by the end of this parliamentary session – that is fast approaching. LGBTQ+ people deserve to be safe and be protected from abuse. If you agree, then tell us why this ban matters ▶ https://bit.ly/4c01rbR
