Human Rights Violation
 

The proposal to ban treatment for patients seeking to psychologically reintegrate with his or her xx or xy gender violates basic human rights--  Counselor-patient rights and parent-child rights.  

Further--in many cases this is just the latest, trendy fad for young people.  They lack the judgement to make the decision to forever alter their futures, leaving them open to exploitation by adults with their own agendas.
