Conversion therapy is rejected by all leading medical and psychological organizations, American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is harmful, unethical, and ineffective. It's like practicing medicine without a license.

How can you support transgenderism (i.e. - 'transitioning') but be against conversion therapy? It seems like a conflict.

Not if your priority is pushing social-cultural liberalism
"you can't use talk therapy to try and get someone to stop being gay or trans....but you can use medical surgeries to try and change biology that is impossible"

Correct. Because of states where evidenced-based, gender-affirming care is being obstructed, the APA adopted a policy for their commitment to the well-being of all people. So, to review, conversion therapy is bad and dismissed by professionals and gender of affirming care is good and supported by professionals.

I hope everyone here will make an effort to become friends with folks in the queer community. Attend an LGBTQ+ affirming church and hear the gospel.

What they are rejecting is not conversion therapy, but a Licensed Professional having a protected
conversation with their client, when the client has a desire to speak about it.
Interesting take by the state of Colorado.
Ok to talk with them positively about or affirming transitioning, not ok to speak with the client
about their desire if they might not want to transition.
Either way a person needs to vent positively or negatively, one should not be excluded.
And every one of those used cars shows a rear end collision on the Carfax.LIB,MR BEARS said:rypry said:

Silencing the opposition seems to be a common thread.

Are we talking about the same organizations that used to call transgenderism a mental illness, and recommended psychotherapy to treat same?rypry said:

In laws attend such a church, here in Austin. Presbyterian, and went woke a few years ago. We attend with them on occasion, and the church is basically dead at this point. Has some blue hairs who still attend, like my in laws, and a handful of homosexual and transgenders. Gospel isn't preached anymore - at least not the Gospel of Jesus and scripture. Been replaced with a message of "acceptance," pretending that the path to salvation isn't all that narrow.rypry said:
