Munroe Bergdorf, Juno Dawson and Divina De Campo were among the vocal figures protesting the government’s decision
called it “reprehensible decision”, writing: “The Government’s own research suggests that trans people are much more likely to have undergone, or been offered, conversion therapy, so this exclusion simply makes no sense.
“The Government cannot simply give up on trans people because protecting them is legislatively complex. Bans that include trans people have been implemented in other countries. Trans people deserve better. We need a complete ban, without loopholes, which protects everybody.”expressed her sadness at the news, tweeting: “For the government to admit conversion therapy is cruel and harmful but NOT protect trans people from it has left me totally broken. I don’t really know what to do anymore.
“None of us are safe unless we are all safe. Conversion therapy cannot be damaging a cruel for one set of people but not for another. Resist this governments cynical and coordinated attack on trans people,” shared drag queen Divina De Campo.Mandu Reid wrote: “Excluding trans people from the ban on conversion therapy is deeply disturbing, wrong, and totally unjustified.
This is not an April Fools Day joke - it’s this Govt using the bluntest instrument possible to stoke polarisation and alienate trans people.”added: “Please remember that the gift we will always have is each other. These demons in charge know nothing of community, the power of chosen family or how it feels to know who you are beyond having to oppress and marginalize the identities of those around you in the name of supremacy.
