What is conversion therapy and when will it be banned?

May 12,2022 8:55 pm

Plans to outlaw so-called conversion Therapy for gay and bisexual people in England and Wales have been announced by the government.

It Said it wanted to ban " abhorrent" practices intended to change people's sexual orientation. However, the plans do not cover attempts to change someone's gender identity.

What is conversion Therapy ?

According to The British Psychological Society (BPS), conversion Therapy - Sometimes called " reparative Therapy " or " gay cure Therapy " - tries to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity.

In practice, it means trying to stop or suppress someone from being gay, or from living as a different gender to their sex recorded at birth.

It can include talking therapies and prayer, But more extreme forms can include exorcism, physical violence and food deprivation.

The BPS and other professional bodies, including Nhs England and The Royal College of Psychiatrists, have warned all kinds of conversion Therapy are

What has the government agreed?

The government Said it would ban conversion Therapy aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation - But not their gender identity. The plans were confirmed in The Queen 's Speech.

The proposed law will protect under-18s. However, it won't apply to people over 18 if they've consented and haven't been coerced.

Last month, the government announced that it was entirely scrapping plans for a ban, then quickly backtracked and Said elements of the ban would go ahead.

Why does the government not want to include gender identity in the proposed ban?

The government Said that transgender conversion Therapy is too complicated to be included for now and separate work will be carried out into the " complexity of issues".

It Said there were worries a ban could have " unintended consequences" which might affect teachers, parents and therapists helping children who are struggling with their gender identity.

Its decision came on the back of an NHS-commissioned report which called for a re-think of children's gender identity services in England .

Said that some healthcare professionals already felt Under Pressure to " take a purely affirmative approach" to Young People Who Said they wanted to transition.

However, that a ban which still allowed for explorative therapies was possible and had already been enacted in other countries.

Dr Adam Jowett , chairman of The British Psychological Society's sexualities section, Said : " Clinicians can still help people fully explore their gender identity where appropriate But it's time for this unacceptable and harmful practice to end. "

More Than 100 organisations called the decision to exclude trans people " unacceptable" and pulled out of this summer's First Global LGBT+ Conference that was due to be held in London,

How common is conversion Therapy ?

It's difficult to know exactly how widespread The Practice is. There is no standard legal definition and victims may be reluctant to share their experiences.

About 5% of the 108,000 people who responded to the government's Said they had been offered some form of conversion Therapy , while 2% had undergone it.

Those from an ethnic minority background were twice as likely to be affected. About 10% of Christian respondents and 20% of Muslims Said they had undergone or been offered conversion Therapy , compared to 6% with no religion.

More Than half Said it was conducted by a faith group, while one in five received it from healthcare professionals.

The figure was higher among transgender respondents. Almost one in 10 trans men Said they had been offered conversion Therapy , And One in 25 Said they had undergone it.

But the survey did not define what it meant by conversion Therapy , and did not ask when it had happened, or whether it was in the UK.

What are religious groups saying about a ban?

Some religious groups oppose any ban on conversion Therapy , and argue that it would infringe on traditional religious teachings, such as the belief that all sex outside a heterosexual marriage is sinful.

The Evangelical Alliance, which says it represents 3,500 churches, Said a ban, such as supportive prayer.

However, The Church of England Said the practices have " No Place in the modern world" and a group of Christian leaders wrote a letter to the Prime Minister calling for trans people to be included, as have various psychotherapists and counsellors.

What is happening elsewhere in the UK?

In Northern Ireland , politicians have passed calling for a ban on conversion Therapy " in all its forms".

The Welsh Government is on whether it can introduce a ban through devolved powers.

In Scotland, the government has committed to

Have other countries banned conversion Therapy ?

Approximately 16 countries have introduced a full or partial ban, including Brazil, Canada and Germany.

About 20 US states have banned The Practice for minors, although many of these do not include religious counsellors and organisations.

Some other countries, including Ireland, Denmark and Israel, are currently introducing measures to ban conversion Therapy or launching consultations.
