TransActual criticizes UK draft bill on conversion practices as full of loopholes
Summary
The UK Government has published a draft bill banning conversion practices in England and Wales, but TransActual criticizes it as deeply flawed. The bill contains loopholes that allow conversion practices to continue in healthcare settings (both regulated and unregulated), and makes a problematic distinction that effectively provides an instruction manual for how to get away with conversion abuse. After 8 years of promises for an effective ban, the organization argues the bill falls far short.

· 3 pulledRather than ban conversion practices completely, the Government has introduced so many loopholes that it has practically written an instruction manual on how to get away with conversion abuse.
Under the Government's draft bill, this tortuous practice will be allowed to continue in healthcare settings, regulated and unregulated alike.
The UK Government has today published its draft bill on banning conversion practices in England and Wales – and after 8 long years of promises to bring in an effective ban, we'll be waiting longer yet.
