    Yes folks you can STILL get 'conversion therapy' to rid you of your
    delusions about changing the sex you were assigned at birth!

    LOL

    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.

    We are here because those who are exploring gender identity or
    struggling with their biological sex should have access to therapists
    who will provide thoughtful care without pushing an ideological or
    political agenda.

    This sounds suspicious.

    We believe that psychological approaches should be the first-line
    treatment for all cases of gender dysphoria. Psychological interventions
    avoid the risks of social and medical transition, and support client
    autonomy by facilitating deeper self-understanding.

    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.
