Mapping Anti-gender Movements in the UK
This summary report makes part of a broader mapping project commissioned by Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE). The project was focused on the United Kingdom (UK) as one of various global hotspots, where anti-gender movements have enjoyed increased efficacy in the past few years.

That’s how they see conversion therapy. I am being 100% fair, same rules.

You forgot the bit where they don’t know they are going for “voluntary” conversion therapy until it starts.
Don’t worry Mr Duncan-Smith, this is just a routine check-up for your viagra prescription.
Is it really any wonder why I don’t trust psychiatrists and therapists during my first few appointments? And because of NHS funding problems limiting the amount of psych appointments available, that means that I don’t ever get to trust them.
