Filmed at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023, this excellent panel and audience question contemporary trends.
A mounting number of countries across the world have introduced some form of national ban on conversion therapy. The UK government is under pressure to proceed with some form of Conversion Therapy Bill. The chair of the Labour Party, Anneliese Dodds, has committed to bringing in ‘a full, no loopholes, trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy’. The panel argue this would be a disaster.
The speakers are:
Dolan Cummings - author, Taking Conscience Seriously and The Pictish Princess.. and other stories from before there was a Scotland
Stephanie Davies-Arai - director, Transgender Trend; author, Communicating with Kids
Lord Stewart Jackson - Conservative peer, House of Lords
Bev Jackson - co-founder and trustee, LGB Alliance
Katy Jon Went - diversity and inclusion facilitator and educator, Human Library, Pick My Brain, GenderAgenda, Fifty Shades of Gender
The chair is: Ann Furedi - author, The Moral Case for Abortion; former chief executive, BPAS
