Actual conversion therapy is when a lesbian or gay person undergoes abusive “treatment” designed to shame them out of acting on same-sex attraction. It is the polar opposite of offering psychological support and counselling to a young person who wishes to escape their body. I know exactly what it is, because in 2013 I conducted an undercover investigation into it. I travelled to a small town in Colorado, adopted an assumed identity, and claimed to be deeply unhappy as a lesbian. The “therapist” tried every trick in the book to get me to denounce my sexual identity – insisting I must have been abused and neglected as a child; dominated by my mother; brutalised by my father – even dropped on my head as a baby. It was a horrific experience, and one too many lesbian and gay teenagers have undergone at their parents’ behest.
Listening to Badenoch yesterday was a breath of fresh air for this lifelong Labour voter, who could never envisage voting Tory. I actively oppose the vast majority of their policies, and have stuck with Labour through thick and thin, despite its capitulation to dangerous and offensive transgender ideology. Yet I support Badenoch 100 per cent in her endeavours to expose this ideology for what it is.
She said that doctors are currently “fearful of giving honest, clinical advice to a child, because if they do not automatically affirm and medicalise a child’s new gender, they will be labelled transphobic… we do need to address many of those issues, and that is why we are going to publish a draft bill.”

The World Bank has been urged to review its £120 million investments in a private Indian healthcare group embroiled in a transnational ‘cash for kidneys’ racket.
A Telegraph expose revealed this week that young people from Myanmar are being paid to donate their kidneys to rich Burmese patients and allegedly flown to Apollo Hospital’s prestigious Delhi facility to be operated on. Paying for organs is illegal in India, as it is across most of the world.
After Indian officials launched a probe into the group, one of Asia’s largest healthcare providers, the World Bank has been told to conduct its own investigation into Apollo and review the £120 million it has invested in the business over the past 18 years.
