Ending conversion practices in Scotland: consultation

Consultation containing detailed proposals for legislation to end conversion practices in Scotland.

A few hashtags relating to something that still happens in far too many countries but really needs to stop, because in all its guises it is abuse, if not torture:

#ABA
#BanABA
#BanConversionTherapy
#ConversionPractice
#ConversionTherapy
#EndConversionTherapy
#PBS
#StopTheShock

I know this has been talked about in the Scottish Government at some point, but there is sadly no plan at the moment to include ABA (applied behaviour analysis) or PBS (positive behaviour support) in an initial conversion practice ban

Regrettably, these practices are being used increasingly in the UK and Scottish context, yet conversion practices that vainly attempt to make Autistic people neurotypical are no less abhorrent than conversion practices that attempt to make people like LGBT+ people cishet 😖

I’m grateful for the Scottish Green Party’s place in the Scottish Government meaning that an end to LGBT+ conversion practices is in sight

(I didn’t say LGBTQIA+ because I don’t know for sure where the less-talked-about sexualities and gender identities will fit, nor whether this will have any effect on forced surgery for intersex children)

If parents and proper professional clinicians think that their job is to suppress young people's sexual identity and gender identity, they should step down. #LGBTQ #ConversionPractice
