CDZ Can someone help me to understand "conversion therapy" laws?

[K9Buck]

So called "conversion therapy" is prohibited by law in a number of states and other, local jurisdictions.

Is "conversion therapy" the act of trying to persuade or compel one to "convert" one's gender identity and/or sexual orientation?

In a jurisdiction where such "therapy" is banned, does that mean that, an adult who wants to see a licensed psychologist, etc. in order to "help" them to change their gender-identity or sexual orientation, cannot?

Thanks in advance.

I think those laws only apply to minors.

Correct.

Hence those measures are an appropriate safeguard against minors being abused.

I have a suggestion to use conversion therapy sites to make lists of dangerous NAZI nationals and other likely to be school shooter types. It just popped in my head so I typed it. I have a holocaust denying uncle who comically enough has a gay son that this applies to.

A shrink can make more money from Gayists continually running to him in order to be told that they are normal.

Wow. I'd like to be at your family's Thanksgiving get together.

So, if a nine year-old boy tells his parents that he feels like a girl on the inside, it is illegal (in some jurisdictions) for the parents to take their son to a child psychologist in an effort to "help" the boy to re-identify as the biological boy that he is?

I think this is an overreach.

No. Conversion therapy specifically refers to sexual preference.

If the laws apply to sexual preference, the issue of kids who want to switch sex entirely would certainly be covered under that law.

 

[Leo123]

One does not choose one's sex therefore conversion therapy is nonsensical in the first place. Why is it lefties cannot understand the basics of human life?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"Conversion therapy" is the product of ignorance, fear, bigotry, and hate.

Completely devoid of merit, its prohibition is more than warranted.

 

[Defiant1]

Should all therapy that helps people be normal be against the law?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Should all therapy that helps people be normal be against the law?

Absolutely not. I would be all on favor of allowing severe electroshock therapy for one day just for you.
