House of Commons Alba Party leader Neale Hanvey has been condemned for an opinion piece in which he compared self-ID for trans people to Section 28. In a column published by The National on Tuesday (12 December), MP Hanvey claimed that a recently proposed conversion therapy ban was ignoring a “true scandal” of LGB people being forced to take hormones as a way to “trans away the gay.” He also alleged that planned legislation promotes the idea that dysmorphic under-18s can “fix this with hormones and irreversible radical surgical intervention”.
