Comments
  • We support a fully equal blood donation policy across society, in line with SaBTO recommendations.
  • Conversion therapy currently can be classed as a preacher praying over an individual if they request it. This is fine however a person sitting with a qualified therapist to convince them to change sexuality is wrong and shouldn’t be practised by professionals. Equal healthcare for everyone not extra for trans. Trans people should be allowed on female shortlists but not competing against them in sports
