In a newly-surfaced interview clip from June 2024, Streeting said he’d met with Bayswater parents and expressed his sympathy for the “traumatic experiences” families with trans children had been through.
The following month, the Bayswater Parents group was the subject of an exposé revealing that they encouraged abuse towards trans children and advocated for conversion therapy.
Streeting made the comments when he was interviewed by a representative of the ‘What is a Woman’ campaign. Championed by former olympic swimmer Sharon Davies, it was created to ask MPs about their stances on sex and gender in the lead up to the election.
In response to a question about ensuring relatives are not held accountable for their actions by Labour’s proposed ban on conversion therapy, the health secretary states that families often felt “cut out of the conversation” about their children’s healthcare.
