Conservative MP, Alicia Kearns, has called on the UK government to ensure that any future laws created against LGBTQ+ conversion therapy will be trans inclusive.
Kearns, who has represented Rutland and Melton since 2019, reaffirmed her party’s commitment to banning conversion therapy in an article Politics Home, where she also shared her support for the trans community, saying: “Any ban must include not only conversion therapy to change sexual orientation, but also attempts to prevent, against the individual’s wishes, a gender transition.”She continued: “This must not ban support which in good faith explores someone’s gender identity but stop non-consensual attempts to prevent someone from expressing their own identity.
