As you know, the First Amendment enshrines freedom of religion and freedom of speech in the U. S. Constitution. The proposed regulation violates both. It allows only affirmation of a person's gender confusion, not correction. Clearly this is a violation of freedom of religion as no Christian counselor could conform to this restriction. And it is a violation of freedom of speech since to state the obvious, that males are males and females are females, is not permitted. Please withdraw this extreme regulation. Thank you.
