Counseling
 

I do not approve of regulating the type of counseling available to children and families based on political ideas about sexuality and gender. Parents have the best interest of their children in mind and they seek help from therapists who understand and are supportive of their needs and desires. Do not try to regulate the speech of good people who are helping children cope with difficult problems.
