“ #ConversionTherapy gets offered because we believe that there is only one normal #sexuality . And this belief has academic and social legitimacy. This has to stop. There is #nothingtocure “ @poojavnair at a panel by Safe Access and LSQA. https://twitter.com/netshrink/status/1276554712351797248

@arjunkapoor traces the history of #homosexuality and #rights , both in law and in #mentalhealth .Laws come into force after years and years of advocacy from marginalized groups. #mhca2017 clearly says that discrimination on basis of #gender and #sexuality is unethical.

#mhca2017 provides enough powers to the State Mental Health Authority #smha to take action on #ConversionTherapy . #nothingtocure #stopconversiontreatment @arjunkapoor

@poojavnair “Hiding behind client driven practice to provide #ConversionTherapy to clients is nothing but practitioners collusion with a violent system and societal prejudice. Conversion therapy is harm. It is not in the interest of the client’s wellbeing.” #qacp #nothingtocure

As #queeraffirmative practitioner, do not underestimate what you can do even in 15 min with a child. Affirm the child, affirm their difference, affirm their non-conformity. Recognize n hold agency of the child who is surviving hostile authorities. #childrights #qacp @poojavnair

@poojavnair “ #MHP shd recognize that they are part of a system tht perpetuates violence on #lgbtqi. What abt bias of the practitioner? The conviction in their prejudice is more powerful than their conviction in knowledge. It’s time they do the work to be #queeraffirmative” #qacp

@SAATHII Dr. Ramki- Genital ‘normalization’ surgeries are done on infants. #intersex people and activists have stated repeatedly that these surgeries have to stop. #nothingtocure

#stopconversiontreatment is not a new issue. Decades of work has gone into opposing #conversiontherapy The statements by professional bodies have been after the #queer #trans community has raised its voice repeatedly. Dr. Ramki from @SAATHII
