Conversion therapy is inhumane and should be banned. People who are commenting that want choices in therapy options for their children need to understand that conversion therapy is akin to brainwashing and torture, has no basis in science, and is based on the false notion that a person's sexual orientation can be changed or that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Earlier this year, the World Health Organization removed gender dysphoria from their global manual of diagnoses https://www.cbsnews.com/news/world-health-organization-removes-gender-dysphoria-from-list-of-mental-illnesses/
Conversion therapy is child abuse, no other way to put it. We must put an end to this inhumane practice in Virginia.
