"Conversion therapy is an abhorrent practice, it needs to stop, we have that opportunity - let's do it." Dr Igi Moon for the Memorandum of Understanding Coalition on Conversion Therapy. Yet, @scottishgov.bsky.social have ignored expert advice, betraying survivors & retraumatising them in the process

The Scottish Government promised to ban LGBT conversion therapy — then backed down. This says what so many are thinking: why hasn’t it happened yet, @scottishgov.bsky.social? Our lives aren’t up for debate. #BanConversionTherapy #LGBTrights #Scotland

Scot Gov has dropped plans to ban conversion therapy.
Survivors have been betrayed & re-traumatised. There’s no evidence that conversion “therapy” works - but plenty proving the harm it causes.
Waiting on Westminster is a joke. We’re on PM #6 and still nothing to move forward with a UK-wide ban.

@kaukabstewart.bsky.social please watch this. This is the real impact of conversion therapy.
You’ve heard the evidence. You’ve seen the harm. Dropping the ban is not just a policy decision — it’s a betrayal.
Survivors DESERVE justice. #BanConversionTherapy

Turning 40 feels like a milestone in so many ways. As I step into this new decade, I’m reflecting on the journey so far & excited for all the adventures ahead. Here's to embracing the wisdom that comes with age & the joy of having amazing friends & Chosen Family to share it with.

📣 After campaigning for 4 yrs to @BanCTorg in 🏴, I've applied for Interfaith Minister Training @OneSpiritOrg. This shift marks a move beyond activism to one that holds sacred space & conduct inclusive rituals and ceremonies for ALL!

Sharing personal trauma in public is difficult, emotional & open to misinterpretation & backlash. But it’ll be worth it once we #BanConversionTherapy for good.

ALL forms of conversion therapy are coercive. You cannot give “informed consent”.
Also - IT DOESN’T WORK!!!
You are not “sinful” or “broken” or “demon-possessed” and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Conversion Therapy Still Isn't Illegal in the UK
Earlier this month, the British government tweeted – and quickly deleted – a survey asking how "#conversiontherapy affects the #LGBTQ community".
