The GLADD team have taken the decision to stop using Twitter/X. We will leave the account for now as a legacy, and we are still active on Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky. If you have any questions or queries we can be contacted via the contact form on our website.

So-called ‘conversion therapy’ is abhorrent and we continue to push for the entire LGBTQ+ community to be protected from this torturous practice. There’s no debate to be had. Doctors defending it need to take a long, long look at themselves. End of discussion.

This statement clearly expresses GLADD’s position We feel that further discussion of trans people’s right to dignified healthcare accommodation only serves to harm the trans community and fuel controversy, division and distract from real healthcare issues /1

We are aware of a number of attacks on twitter aimed at @DrMikeFarquhar for showing his lanyard & badges, which show his strong support for all LGBTQ+ patients, including trans folk We wholeheartedly stand behind him and his work, & proudly wear our @RainbowNHSBadge

This is absolutely indefensible. So-called conversion therapy is abuse towards the LGBTQ+ community & the decision not to ban it is an attack As healthcare professionals, we need to be angry about this & advocating for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and patients.

EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy. A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy". It breaks 4 years of promises. itv.com/news/2022-03-3…

Here's our joint letter with @PRiSM_Surgery, sent to @bmj_latest in response to their article on gender dysphoria in young people. We offered the BMJ a chance to reply before we published the letter; they have made it clear to us that they will not be apologising for the article.

There has been an unfortunate recent spate of hate speech and disinformation on social media by some doctors This is harmful to LGBTQ+ patients and colleagues, and undermines the ethical and moral foundations of medicine It will not be tolerated (1/4)

This is appalling and you absolutely do not represent our profession. At GLADD, we are proud to stand up against hate towards LGBTQ+ doctors, dentists, and patients. We loudly do not tolerate this hate.
