The Queen's speech confirmed that there is no trans conversion therapy ban.
Not only that, but they've added an exclusion that means it's not a ban if the person "consents" to conversion therapy.
No-one consents to conversion practices. They are coerced.
This is a mess.

‘Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us…’ – at Brent, London

Justice for LGBT veterans. No more delaying, too many have already died: restore their pensions and compensate missed contributions, strike off their criminals records for “homosexuality”, remove their dishonourable discharges, and give back their medals! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60037103
First they came for the students, and I did not speak out—because I was not a student.
“…the university seems to place the hypothetical opportunity for some staff members to challenge and diminish trans identities over the safety and wellbeing of its students”

A doctor’s letter or a report is mandated to change the sex on your passport. Yet illogically Lord Reed at @UKSupremeCourt says the sex on that identity document is not a particularly important facet of the appellant’s identity; dismissing their case for a gender neutral passport
