Conversion therapies, also known as conversion practices, are efforts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. These practices are not just harmful, they do the opposite of what they claim.
Pinned
With conversion therapy bans likely to be declared unconstitutional, states and their professional boards still have meaningful room to protect thepublic.
But they have to be careful to regulate professional conduct and informed consent, not ideological speech.

The Trevor Project is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ youth. In their “Sharing Space” series, they spoke with conversion therapy survivors. I highly suggest watching to learn about how detrimental conversion therapy is to the LGBTQ+ community.
“What They’re Doing Is Not Therapy”: Conversion Therapy Survivors Speak Out
Hear from survivors of conversion therapy and what they wish parents of LGBTQ+ young people knew about this harmful practice.

“The book encourages parents to put children in anti-affirmation medical and educational spaces, and to cut off loved ones who support their child's transition.”
Writing about trans youth as a product of “ideology” is dehumanising. This is the language of conversion practices. It’s child abuse.

What evidence supports the current policy of forcing conversion therapy practices on adolescent trans children in the UK, Tom? Or asserting that _social transition_ should only be allowed under expert medical supervision?

Exploratory therapy doesn't explore; it interrogates, deflects, and obstructs.
If the therapeutic exploration leads the client toward wanting or needing transition, the therapist redirects instead of allowing further exploration. The therapist looks for childhood wounds to reopen and reinfect.

I suppose I’m a gay anomaly in my continued ability to engage with Christianity, but the story goes that after three weeks of conversion therapy, the facility I attended was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. I took this as a miracle, and it motivated me through my ordination.

The RCC literally invented this and called it "courage." It was identified as a conversion therapy scam recruitment hub by the SPLC, and the church continues to push fraud through this and other rebranded scams like "Building Catholic Futures," which innovated the practice of targeting minors.
"All right-wing men are secretly gay" is hack and an oversimplification but it's pretty clear a lot of right-wing influencers (Benny Johnson, Crowder, etc.) viewed conservative politics as a twelve-step program for their attraction to men
An explosive sex scandal has rocked the “trad” online right.

That is irrelevant.
Conversion therapy isn't the only issue that we vote on; Newsom facilitates the slide to fascism. He has repeatedly blocked bills to address the housing crisis, improve health coverage, and restore lost labor union rights. He violently attacks the homeless and supports ICE.
