Sonia Sodha in The Times crying about banning conversion practices
Conversion Practices Bill is a licence for trouble
Prime minister needs to ditch toxic legislation that threatens the rights of women and parents
Sonia Sodha @soniasodha

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. A maxim that has been embraced by campaigners for men to be able to intrude into female spaces and for children experiencing gender distress to be pushed down a risky medical pathway, all under the misleading banner of “trans rights”. These campaigners have lost some important battles. Their strategy of bullying female opponents out of their jobs and public life ran into problems when the courts made clear that this was unlawful discrimination. Then the Supreme Court clarified that men are never women for the purpose of using female-only facilities and services.

Meanwhile the medical consensus is finally shifting to an understanding that children experiencing transitory gender distress, often a product of other issues, should be able to access exploratory therapy rather than puberty-blocking drugs.

Now gender campaigners have opened a new front, pushing for legislation to ban so-called “conversion practices”. This innocuous-sounding but dangerous Trojan horse is designed to override legal protections for single-sex spaces and to threaten parents, teachers and healthcare professionals acting in children’s best interests. Worst of all, it was adopted in Labour’s 2024 manifesto, a quid pro quo for the party dropping self-ID.

There is a long and terrible history of same-sex-attracted people being subjected to conversion practices such as electroshock therapy and corrective rape. These practices are thankfully rare, and importantly already criminal.

As is anything constituting harassment or physical or sexual assault under criminal statute. Indeed, the minister who led the Lords debate simply listed a number of existing offences as justification for the bill and when pushed was unable to provide concrete examples of practices that should be — but are no…

4/ The EHRC is exploiting this ambiguity to intimidate service providers. It is the intimidation that is unlawful and goes against human rights standards of interference with rights and freedoms being prescribed by law.

1/🧵 A serious analysis. This is disingenuous. We all know there are two legal meanings of the EHRC Code: a generous one and a fair one. The generous legal meaning is that it suggests that trans-exclusionary provision is “legally” safer. The fair one is that it requires trans-exclusionary provision.

Vile transphobic bigot Bridget Phillipson is leaving trans women survivors of domestic violence with nowhere to go. Trans people are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence & this disgusting government taking away support is putting lives in danger. Statement by @galopuk.bsky.social.
If the UK Government's position is, as the Minister for Women and Equalities, Bridget Phillipson, said on Sunday, that trans women should not be allowed in women's refuges, then it's their job to ensure trans+ people have accommodation they can access. Anyone who is escaping abuse and violence deserves a safe place to go.
But the Supreme Court Ruling and the EHRC's updated Code of Practice has put trans+ victims and survivors in a dangerous state of limbo with no clear guidance on what services they can turn to.
Over the last year, it has been virtually impossible for our frontline services to find anywhere safe for trans+ victims and survivors to go. Despite the fact that trans+ people are at particularly high risk of experiencing abuse and violence. We need direct action now from the UK Government to support trans+ people to find safe accommodation.
