In late March, the Prime Minister discontinued plans to ban conversion therapy, but made a U-turn within hours of the backlash.
The government later outlined a bill – a conversion therapy bill – in a Queen’s speech that bans conversion therapy aimed at changing someone’s sexual orientation in certain scenarios.
However, he said the law would not prohibit transgender conversion therapy because of “the complexity of the problem and the need for more careful consideration.”
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Britain’s first pride, Mrs. May said:
“We need to strive for a deeper understanding on both sides of the debate. Just because a problem is controversial does not mean that we can avoid dealing with it. ..
“To that end, the government must maintain its commitment to consider the issue of transgender conversion therapy.
“If it is not included in the next bill, the problem must not be allowed to slip.”
Few people oppose that they are still facing indignation and prejudice when reading explanations from transgender people and worthy of understanding and respect.
Mrs. May voted against the age of consent for the reduction of homosexuality in 1998 and the abolition of Article 28 in 2002, saying she regrets past opposition to LGBT equality.
Fifty years after the activists were exposed to abuse and ridicule, “we can be proud of how much and how deeply the attitude has changed.”
“I include myself in it. Looking back now, there is a problem that if I voted for them today, I would have voted in another way,” she added.
He also wrote a paper to commemorate his wedding anniversary, saying he gave him “the greatest pride in leading a country where anyone can love his loved ones.”
Mrs. May’s statement comes after the Scottish Conservatives’ MSP has criticized the government for excluding transgender people from the ban and branding the move as “indefensible.”
At the Pink News reception at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on Wednesday night, Jamie Greene MSP of West Scotland hit Boris Johnson’s comments on trans women.
Mr. Green said: “I’m not a member of the British government first. I want to clarify that, but it’s not my job to protect the unprotected people.”
He said the conservatives had made a “very clear” promise to include transgender people in the ban, adding: We should fulfill that promise, and the Scottish Government should do exactly the same.
“We should do it here, we should do it in Westminster, we should do it in Wales, we should do it in Northern Ireland.”
