Action | Unprofessional conduct/practice of conversion therapy |

Comment Period | Ended on 8/7/2019 |
The ban on conversion therapy that you propose and advocate limits the freedom of both the therapist and the person seeking help.
It assumes that the client never desires to resolve the conflict between physical and emotional gender in favor of the physical.
It prevents the therapist from acting on the informed conclusion that resolving the conflict in favor of the physical is what is best for the client and therefore the only responsible way to fulfill the requirement to do no harm to the client.
