The Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender.
It IS conversion therapy.
Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

We must make it clear to trans people that we are a safe space for them—that we will fight against the awful rhetoric and action taken by the bigots who now hold power. I have zero time/space for anyone who bullies or oppresses trans people, especially cis gays.
