Conversion therapy is a form of torture that destroys mental health, relationships and self-worth — banning it for gay people but not trans people is a glaring double standard. Trans people deserve the same legal protections as everyone else, full stop isn't the right phrase but the logic is undeniable. A trans-inclusive ban isn't radical; it's basic consistency.
Broad conversion therapy bans don't protect kids — they strip parents of the ability to get real help by criminalizing legitimate talk therapy. When affirming a child's trans identity becomes the only legally safe option, good therapists walk away and ideological activists fill the void. Protecting free speech and parental rights isn't bigotry; it's common sense safeguarding.
