Any good clinician will focus on identifying underlying trauma in his or her patients. Until that primary trauma is healed, no progress will be made in the other areas of distress and pain. It is wildly inappropriate for the state to pass laws that limit the professional therapeutic options of qualified and licensed therapists! Who is the state to silence and micromanage a group of professionals? The understanding of the causes of gender dysphoria and sexual orientation still need much research and debate among health care professionals. To threaten censure, jail and professional exile is extreme and terrifying. Do NOT approve this ban!
