Roger Helmer, of East Midlands, UK, tweeted on Sunday: "Why is it OK for a surgeon to perform a sex-change operation, but not OK for a psychiatrist to try to 'turn' a consenting homosexual?"

A Conservative Party spokesman said: "We do not condone this sort of language."

Stonewall spokesman Jonathan Finney said: "It's disappointing that an elected representative seems to be supporting so-called gay therapy treatments, which are entirely discredited.

Roger needs to do his research on the methods.  Conversion Therapy and SRS have absolutely nothing in common.  Conversion Therapy is an attempt to change the mind, and SRS is a surgical procedure to alter the body.

There is no comparison to be made.
