Let's be clear: being abused doesn't 'cause' you to be trans. Trans people are more likely to experience abuse and violence based on their identity, and suggesting that child sexual abuse and/or bullying changes someone's gender identity is damaging and wrong.
Is there any place for trans conversion therapy in Britain?
Health Secretary Sajid Javid says it should remain legal as gender dysphoria amongst kids can be a symptom of child sex abuse or bullying

siblings were both being put through

by their family. One was bi, the other was trans.
They were subjected to exactly the same abuse and violence, but under this proposal, the government would only protect one of them.
🚨 U-TURN ON THE U-TURN 🚨
The Prime Minister has changed his mind off the back of the reaction to our report and he WILL now ban conversion therapy after all.
Senior Govt source absolutely assures me it’ll be in Queen’s Speech.
But only gay conversion therapy, not trans.

The EHRC's guidance relies heavily on the existence of trans-inclusive local services, particularly for trans victims of abuse and violence. This approach fails to acknowledge the current inadequate levels of trans-inclusive or LGBT+ specialist service provision in the UK.

This will help service providers to make lawful decisions about any services they offer to women and men separately.

In the last six months, we’ve seen increasing numbers of trans and non-binary survivors of abuse and violence fearful of living openly as themselves due to the escalating anti-trans narrative in public life. Trans and non-binary people deserve to live safely and freely.
We are saddened the PM has taken unprecedented steps to block implementation of the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
These are not the actions of a government that can stand on the international stage as a defender of LGBTQ+ rights.

Additionally, the guidance repeatedly cites safety as a reason to exclude trans women from women's spaces. This conflates trans women with perpetrators of abuse, which is deeply concerning, particularly from the EHRC which exists in order to promote and uphold equality.
