Trans conversion therapies: more than 50% of ex-patients attempted suicide.

This shocking and still so true news is the result of a study conducted in October 2020 by the Gender Identity Research & Education Society, the LGBT Foundation, the Ozanne Foundation and Stonewall. It is scary to read that 9 out of 10 trans and non-binary patients who were treated with conversion-therapies, have then experienced symptoms of anxiety and depression, but it is even worts to read that at least half of them have attempted suicide. The research that you can read here, also found that gender identity conversion therapy is “more widespread and often more violent” than most people actually realise. These therapies too often force their “patients” to unwanted nudity, and include corrective rape, food and sleep deprivation, physical and verbal abuse, as part of the “cure”.  T...

Israel tries to ban conversion therapies for LGBT+ People

Israel becomes the first country in the Middle East to ban a sick and primitive practice. Only 30 years ago - in 1990 - W.H.O removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, and immediately afterwards also the American Psychological Association and other similar and very influential scientific institutions in the world, warned of the deleterious mental consequences that people can have when "doctors" want to forcefully change someone's sexual orientation. Lobotomy was formerly used (in those cases which were considered 'difficult'), today, those countries that still allow such therapies, the use of hard mental practices, such as "pray the gay away"  - which are worse than a lobotomy - make "patients" fall into confusing states of mind that too often result in suicides. Israel, ...

Two years ago The Conservatives got to the power, and still nothing has changed to completely avoid those harmful conversion therapies.

It was in their LGBT+ Action Plan. In this plan, that you can fully read here, The Conservative government described “gay cures” as “abuse of the worst kind” and therefore promised to end conversion therapy as a priority. But, almost two years later they haven’t still been completely banned as it happened in other countries. Kemi Badenoch, Equalities Minister, that called conversion therapies “a very complex issue” said that the government had not decided yet how to proceed on this matter, but we’d like to remind them that they promised a formal consultation in July 2019, long before the outbreak of coronavirus. As we can read also on The Independent , there is still no fixed agenda for this consultation and she also made no mention of the promised one of 2019. She added: “There a...

Germany bans conversion therapies for all people under 18.

“Homosexuality is not a disease, therefore the word therapy is misleading” (German health minister Jens Spahn) Yesterday, 7ht May 2020, Germany voted to definitely ban conversion therapies for LGBT+ people under the age of 18 and also introduced expensive fines for all adults forcing LGBT+ people to one of this dangerous treatments. Reuters reported that the health minister Spahn, who is the Christian Democrat party’s most high-profile gay politician, declared early yesterday , Thursday 7th May 2020: “I want a ban which will be robust, including if it’s brought before the courts. Young people are being forced into conversion therapies and so it is very important that they should find support in the existence of this law: a clear signal that the state does not want this to happen.” T...
