The proposed ban is a serious infringement on an individual's right to decide what help in their own best interest.  The regulation will have an unintended chilling effect on honest discussion and evaluation of gender and attraction in general, especially affecting vulnerable minors.  It is unfair and highly inaccurate to lump all counseling professionals together with a few bad actors behind conversion therapy abuses. We can do better -- this sweeping ban is not in the interest of our minors.
