"'Conversion practices' means any act, conduct, or intervention directed at an individual that seeks to change, suppress, or deny that individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression by any of the following coercive, deceptive, or abusive means:
(a) the use or threat of physical force;
(b) intimidation, harassment, or undue psychological pressure;
(c) exploitation of a position of trust, authority, or dependency;
(d) confinement, isolation, or undue deprivation of liberty;
(e) the administration of pseudo-medical, or psychological interventions without free and informed consent; or
(f) materially false representations as to therapeutic or scientific efficacy.
For the avoidance of doubt, the term does not include the good-faith exercise of parental rights and responsibilities to educate, guide, or form a child through instruction, advice, moral teaching, or socialisation, including the expression of religious, philosophical, or cultural beliefs, and does not include evidence-based non-affirming gender care, provided that none of the means set out in paragraphs (a) to (f) are involved."
This ensures that harmful conversion practices, as commonly understood, are opposed. This substitute text protects against promotion of dangerous hormonal treatments and mutilating surgeries and upholds the right of parents, through education etc., to protect their children from harmful practices.
