Conversion Therapy
 

“Conversion” is possible only if the underlying condition is indeed, a choice, and not a fundamental state of being.  If gender-confused kids are forced to convert to something the parent or therapist feel is the “correct” behavior, they should also receive counseling as to whether the value system of the parents and or therapist are based on facts supported by science.
