Conversion Therapy now banned

The LGBTQ community and its allies in the progressive movement think it won a great victory with the coming into law of the banning of so-called “conversion therapy.”  All it’s going to take is for one prosecutor and one judge who didn’t get the memo to turn the intent of this law on its head.

What is the administering of hormones and sex change surgery anything other than “conversion” “therapy?”  Sex change is deemed therapy for those with certain psychological problems, and the change is a conversion from male to female or from female to male.  Hence, sex change seems to be a prima facie case of conversion therapy, which is now banned!  Even if prosecutors aren’t willing to take on cases like these, tort action against doctors, surgeons, and parents will become available.

Likewise, what are these GSA clubs, so heavily promoted in schools?  Gay-straight alliances are intended to ease the transition of heterosexuals into homosexuality.  The GSAs, in short, offer psychological therapy for the change from heterosexuality into homosexuality, and these clubs ought therefore to be banned for offering now illegal services.  Tort action could also happen against the teachers supervising the clubs and school boards that permit them.

A little bit of legal ju jitsu is all its going to take to turn triumph into disaster for the LGBTQ community.  Be careful of what you wish for!
