The UK Government states “Conversion Therapy does not work and can cause long lasting damage including negative mental health
outcomes, homelessness, and isolation. It is vital that a ban on conversion therapy is comprehensive and effective,” and
“We will continue to protect under-18s from being channelled into irreversible decisions. These proposals do not alter the existing clinical regulatory framework or the independence of regulated clinicians working within their professional obligations.”
(Mike Freer, Minister of Equalities communication to MPs, 29 October 2021).
This one-day event will challenge that statement to show that the research by Coventry University’s Conversion Therapy: an Evidenced Assessment and Qualitative Study produced to support a ban on ‘Conversion Practices’ is scientifically flawed and the ban will harm adults and under 18s.
This event will aid consultation responses, expose scientific errors in the UK Government research and discuss
future implications of such a ban.
There will be research-based examination of hetero-affirming therapies, to demonstrate that they do not cause harm and are supported by scientific literature and a growing number of first-hand experiences.
Empirical Evidence and live testimonies will be produced to show that affirming children to reject their biological sex, transgendering them with hormonal and surgical interventions causes harm.
There will be a presentation by leading lawyers in the field to examine the Government’s claim that religious freedom, free speech and client autonomy will be protected following such a ban.
