It’s the first step of a big change, but the right one. Conversion practices are dangerous, and there is no room for them in New South Wales.
@ChrisMinnsMP “Transitioning” is conversion “therapy”.
@ChrisMinnsMP Honestly plenty of people engage in absurd pseudoscientific woo. If a consenting adult wants to do so, let them, whether it's this or anything else. Their life, their choice.
@ChrisMinnsMP Which ‘conversion’ practices that are currently being practiced in NSW are you banning? Do you include Gender surgery?l
@ChrisMinnsMP Ask detrans community why they think about how they got “converted”. The least you could do is given them a voice. Here, let me help. “I didn’t even know detransitioners existed until I was one.” ~ Chloe Cole @ChoooCole

@ChrisMinnsMP And does this work when activist teachers try to convert students *to* the rainbow army, or is it one way traffic only?
This is outrageous NONSENSE!!!! What conversion practises? How can this be a big change??? & It’s definately NOT the right thing to do. It’s 2024- pls show me how conversion practises were so prevalent in NSW that the govt needed to act? I’ll wait… 30+ yrs as a member of the LGBT community- the only ppl I’ve met who suffered thru conversion therapy were A) over a decade older than me, I.e. they experienced it in 50-70’s And B) originated from overseas- so didn’t suffer these things IN Australia, let alone NSW….
@ChrisMinnsMP This is a good decision, thank you. Mind boggling though that’s it’s still a thing.
@ChrisMinnsMP I hope you’re banning puberty blockers and cross sex hormones as well. You’re correct that conversion practices are dangerous.
