Debate Now Would You Force A Child To Take Conversion Therapy?

[Moonglow]

My only rule is stay on topic because I'm not good with thinking of rules lol but anyways I didn't actually hear about this before but I think that it's a good idea. If it doesn't change a child's mind and they still choose to be gay/transgender by adulthood, at least it tries to help them fit in society.


I wouldn't ever force them to have children though and I would still love them regardless but I think that it's doing what's best for the child to be honest.

I raised everyone of my four kids with the freedom to be themselves.

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

Yes, mythology. No more true or more special than any other.

If you can't handle the heat from a Christian, you are more than welcome to leave this debate to raise LGBT kids.

Are you talking about homosexuality or transgenderism or believing that you're either a fake gender or genderless because only one of those makes that possible.

 

[Arlette]

Mythology my ass. Go away and support your ban on conversion therapy.

Religion is a medicine people take to make them feel better. Cause life is hard. They accept the side effects of that medicine such as the erosion of their critical thinking ability and the surrender of their intellectual integrity.

I have seen fake genders ranging from alligators to Apache attack helicopters. And I saw that as early as 2015. Also you cannot be genderless as it wouldn't be compatible with life.

 

[playtime]

I never said that at all

you might as well have.

but would you let your child get a tattoo or drink alcohol?

that is against the law. one needs to be 18/21 yrs old to legally do that. i don't care if my child turns out gay, as long as they are happy. it's not going to affect me one way or the other. & no, kiddies under legal age do not have surgery to change their sex. & hormones therapy can be reversed.

Well I will be in Heaven watching you burn in Hell. Thy eternal sin that is unforgivable is denying God's glory aka blasphemy against the holy spirit.

You'll be dead. You won't have the means to watch anything.

The left just doesn't get it. I recently heard about a school where the students there believed that they were animals and allowed to pee and take a dump on the floor. Not only is it unsanitary, but just imagine the kind of bullying that these kids get. It's absurd and has gotten WAY out of control.

& no, kiddies under legal age do not have surgery to change their sex.

And you think that I'm misinformed?

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh and for the record when my man and I have children this is why we have chosen to homeschool them.

do you even know what CONversion therapy is? have you even bothered to try & find out the facts?

i doubt it, because you never do.

What Is Conversion Therapy?​

Medically Reviewed by Melinda Ratini, MS, DO on March 06, 2024

Conversion therapy is any emotional or physical therapy used to “cure” or “repair” a person’s attraction to the same sex, or their gender identity and expression. Providers claim these therapies can make someone heterosexual or “straight.” But there’s no evidence to support this.

Medical and mental health experts have rejected conversion therapy practices as dangerous and discriminatory for decades. It not only doesn’t work, but could also lead to:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Drug use
• Homelessness
• Suicide

In extreme cases, the practices may be violent or torturous. Conversion therapy is sometimes called “reparative therapy” or “ex-gay therapy.”

What Does Conversion Therapy Look Like?
It can range from psychotherapy (talk therapy) to medical and faith-based methods that can be emotional or physical.

Another commonly used method is called “aversion therapy.” In this practice, people are exposed to painful or uncomfortable sensations like electric shocks and nausea- or paralysis-causing drugs. This is done in hopes of forming a negative association with the person’s attractions or identity to “correct” it.

Faith-based. In some religious practices, homosexuality and other forms of gender expression and identity are sometimes viewed as “evil.” Conversion therapy is sometimes performed by clergy or other spiritual advisers. It may include using anti-gay slurs and prayers. In severe cases, it could also include beating, shackling, food deprivation, and even exorcism.

In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed “gender identity disorder” from its diagnostic manual. The APA now refers to conversion therapy techniques as “sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE)” or “gender identity change efforts (GICE).” It coined the terms to differentiate from evidence-based forms of therapy. But providers, usually unlicensed, can often disguise the terms they use to avoid being found.

Which Places Have Banned Conversion Therapy?​

So far, 26 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico have banned or limited the use of conversion therapy, especially for youths under 18.

Globally, around 13 countries have some ban or regulations against licensed mental health experts practicing conversion therapy, including Brazil, Norway, Argentina, and Germany.

And yet the laws written to prevent it are often so vague that once someone thinks they may be gay or trans, any discussion otherwise is illegal.

Would You Force A Child To Take Conversion Therapy?​

Children are by definition, not mature enough to make important decisions for themselves.
Any important, finalistic, life-changing decisions in a person's life should be postponed until they are at least 18 so they can make these decisions for themselves.

When I am dead and gone, me and Road Runner will be singing around God's throne for eternity while you will be burning in Hell where you will be begging God to let you into heaven.

I only pissed on the floor as a kindergartner because the teacher wouldn't let me go to the bathroom. And yes the left is stupid as seen in their ignorance of religion in this very thread.

Oh please. I live in the 21st. century, I can read and I'm more than nine years old. Get serious.

Tell that to my 90 year old grandfather who was a preacher. He would chew your head off faster than I could.

The saddest thing about atheists is that if they are right, their only reward is Oblivion and they will never know they were right.

For what? Living in the 21st. century? Being able to read? Not being a little child anymore?

 

[Arlette]

The saddest thing about atheists is that if they are right, their only reward is Oblivion and they will never know they were right.

That's ok. I only got one shot at this thing called living and I want to live MY life, not the fears of ancient goat herders.

The trans-ing of kids is the conversion therapy.
