Kate Nevens: “Conversion practices have no place in modern Scotland.”

The Scottish Government must offer a clear roadmap for Scotland that protects everyone affected, leaving no loopholes for abuse and ensuring that no-one is left behind.

This is a major setback for human rights and a day that many trans people, and those who love them, have been dreading.

The government should scrap this guidance and work with those affected to create a system that protects everyone's safety, dignity and rights.

This guidance is authoritarian and cruel and cements exclusion and segregation.
