Everybody in the Trans Radio UK family are extremely proud at what we have achieved within our organisations; Trans Radio UK, TRUK Listens, and TRUK United FC. We are extremely saddened to hear that whilst on Trans Day of Visibility, we were out making history, and making a worldwide first for trans people everywhere, the Government did a series of U-turns on the banning of conversion therapy. The Government have now effectively created a new tiered system of a persons worth, by deciding that whilst conversion therapy is ‘abhorrent’ for LG & B people, it is apparently perfectly acceptable for trans, intersex and non-binary people to continue to face. Therefore, the Trans Radio UK family wholeheartedly backs Stonewall’s decision to withdraw all support for this Summer’s so called ‘Safe To Be Me’ conference, as being organised by the UK Government. The UK Government’s own data shows that trans, intersex and non-binary people are more likely to be subjected to so-called conversion therapy, with data showing even higher risk for Black Trans people. Like many other worldwide organisations, we too we refuse to stand by and let this happen. A ban that excludes trans, intersex and non-binary people is unacceptable and we as a proud member of the LGBT+ sector, must have our voices heard on this matter and stand in solidarity. Important: This is NOT about taking a stance on any individual political party. Trans Radio UK, TRUK Listens, and TRUK United FC will seek to protect and defend all LGBTQ+ people from any government or organisation, who seek to remove their rights and protections. All TRUK organisations share the core belief that so called conversion therapy, is simply abuse and torture by another name.
