I had no idea that either of those things was a thing!

Doubt it’ll happen…still waiting for a ban on so-called conversion therapy.

Another community are trying to claim religious exemption on that!!!

Making something illegal usually has minimal effect but is worth a try.

Far better if we could only remove certain communities feeling the need for such procedures.

I thought the GMC had banned it ( threatened to strike off doctors who did it) but they havent

Just out of interest Gully, what does TGT stand for, is it a private joke?

Crikey! I didn't even know this kind of thing was done here. Maybe in the Middle East, Asian countries etc. but not here.

[Mamyalynne]

Should really be outlawed along with the ducking stool, familiar accusations and consorting with demons.

A dirty old man's charter.

What's sauce for the goose ... but what if you can't test the gander?

[Togo]

I am just glad that I was doing my test programme when it was considered a public duty.

[Mamyalynne]

Speaks volumes when something like this can be treated so flippantly.
