"Collectively, these guidelines champion a new form of conversion therapy dubbed “Gender Exploratory Therapy.” Despite its innocuous name, this therapy seeks to explore all possible causes for a transgender person to experience gender dysphoria other than genuine transness. It's important to highlight that the patient being transgender is never deemed an acceptable conclusion."

 

The idea is to ban transition without technically "banning" it.  The goalposts keep moving until the person gives up or kills themself - which is acceptable to these people.

Once again I see a potentially costly waste of taxpayer money that will only result in child abuse by the communities there.

Curious to know what other causes of gender dysphoria there might be?  Oh, how they treasure conversion therapy...

 

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy?
Thou art thyself, though not a conversion therapy.
What's conversion therapy? It is not medicine, nor healing,
Nor counsel, nor remedy, nor any other idea
Belonging to a doctor. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a dumpster
By any other name would smell as foul;
So therapy would, were it not therapy call'd,
Retain that foul invention which it owes
Without that title. Conversion Therapy, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Retain all our derision.  

 

Yes, a Shakespeare parody seemed fitting for this moment for some reason.

I now see another parody from the Bard that could be corrupted here involving a therapist's paycheck from their Medicaid intermediary.  Apologies to Thane Mc Beth, but

 

"Is this a paycheck that I see before me,

it's bank route number toward my hand!!

Come let me clutch thee

Art thou my mansion payment for this time."

 

Ok, Vicky that's enough.
