There is no real evidence that conversion therapy for transgendered
people works, in fact, there's a lot of anecdotes that trans people were
hurt by this "conversion therapy".

There is an another incarnation that they want to practice, "gender
exploratory therapy". It's exactly the same bullshit rebranded.

This sounds suspicious.

Ah yeah, everything becomes clear by now. Social and medical transition
aren't that risky, providing you're in a safe environment like most of
California. If you aren't an idiot about being trans, you're a lot more
likely to be killed in a traffic accident when you're driving back home
than to be murdered.
